We are dependent human beings. It’s a straightforward, brutal truth. Right now, you may think that I am capable enough to live a life alone and lavishly. You will enjoy this lie until reality slaps you hard. Soon, you will realize it to be a sham. When you are having a tough time controlling your emotions and sexual urges, dealing with your toxic environment, and family members often fighting with each other, you will miss the person who once offered you a shoulder to cry on. Does it ring a bell?! Good!
When you are in love, you still have those problems. It’s just that you might not have paid enough attention to them. Rather, you would have lived in denial. Once the maya of love diminishes, these problems appear stronger and unavoidable. You either break up, suffer in silence, or get into physical abuse. It’s similar in a marriage as well. Either you had an arranged marriage or a love marriage, you are not an EXCEPTION. No one is. No relationship is.
Here are the three problems couples often struggle with. They hardly pay any attention to strengthen these and make way for issues to pile up steadily. When it’s unbearable, can you guess the outcome? You either break up, suffer in silence, or get into physical abuse.

TRANSPARENCY: Share what’s bothering you. Celebrate your success and strengths and work on your failures and weaknesses. Do it for each other and not just for yourself. Marriage can only blossom if you choose to be a bigger person.
SUPPORTING EACH OTHER: It’s okay to have disagreements. You don’t have to convince each other to accept it or reject it 100%. It’s okay if you find your better half to be a stupid or immature one for a moment. You may be a genius and a mature one. That's good news. Now, handle the situation like one. The best thing you could do is support your better half in their dreams and endeavors. Do this only if you wish to live a happy married life.
RESPECTING THE DIFFERENCES: Now, there would be situations where both of you are genius and mature, yet there are a lot of conflicts and arguments. It’s possible. One such example is raising a child. A father has to do his job, and a mother has to do her job. Here, both have to be at least mature if not genius. In such situations, respect the differences and arrive at a common consensus. The goal is to prosper, NOT suffer.
