    Marriage is a lifelong commitment

    A couple who gets married should love and support each other not for a day or two. It should be for the rest of their life from the day they are married. There should be a commitment for both of them to respect the needs of the others. They should never feel their needs are more important than their partner's. They should help each other when they are in trouble. No one should think that the relationship is commercial and can be broken at any moment in time.

    But slowly people are losing faith in this institution called marriage and selfishness is occupying the front seat. That is why we are seeing many divorce cases these days.

    One should think once a bond is formed it can't be broken and they should believe that there is no way to break this bond. Elderly people and leaders should advocate this concept. They should try to keep the couple together rather than encouraging them to get separated. What are your views on this concept?

    Western culture is slowly getting hold of Indians and people are becoming more lust-oriented. We all know how western people live their life, they have no families and divorce is a common thing with extra marital affairs in almost everyone's life. Youngsters these days are watching Hollywood movies and their culture is getting into the minds of our youngsters. Internet is changing the lifestyle of people and we all know what kind of things youngsters these days do on the internet. Marriage will not have the same kind value if youngsters are exposed to western culture. Parents can't do anything because there is too much influence of social media.
    Humble yourself or life will do it for you!

    It was mostly, and it still is in good proportion.
    It should be so in all cases.
    Marriage is a life long commitment to togetherness ,mutual trust and affection, mutual understanding and accommodation, mutual willing sacrifices to keep the commitment for common good.
    More than the individual or family dimensions, such a life long commitment based on above factors is a necessity and imperative for a social order.

    Married life is a great gift to the couple if they know how to manage it. A successful married life depends on many factors. Some of the important elements are mutual faith, mutual respect, adjusting and accommodating, understanding the limitations of a married life, tolerating other family members, and most of all having patience in day to day life.
    When two persons coming from different family background get married and start living together then there will be differences, conflicts, and fights of all kinds but those who can manage it and come above these short living confrontations, will be successful in their married life.
    There will be many external forces, pressures, and compulsions which will try to destroy the fabric of marriage but the wise couple will take care of all those things and protect themselves from that.
    Knowledge is power.

    Marriage is a lasting bond between two partners keeping this alliance alive with the observance of mutual trust, sacrifices and ensuring a peaceful environment in a family. We follow different principles not match with Western culture where both couples have different ideologies but they have established a firm bond of living due to the liability of their kids. They don't mind multiple relationships and the same applies to both couples.
    Contrary to this, we have been taught since our childhood about the patience and cooperation to be maintained at all stages with our partners. This produces a positive effect on the mindset of their kids. They like their parents because of their sacrifices and love.
    I firmly believe in the positive effects of such a civilization and it provides the entire family with a ray of prosperity and health.

    Marriage is a matter of great adjustment between two persons. It is not an ordinary relationship. It requires sacrifice, mutual respect, and accommodating with each other to have a long successful married life.
    A girl leaves the house of her parents and starts living in the house of husband. For her it is more difficult to adjust but in our culture girls are brought up and taught things as how to adjust after the marriage. The boy's family must understand that girl is coming from a different family and requires a conducive environment for adjusting. So, the point is that cooperation from both sides is required for making the marriage a successful and satisfying experience.
    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    Marriage is told as bondage. Both the parties of the marriage are need to act as the bullocks tied in the 'er' a tool used for ploughing. Unless both the bullocks move together the work of ploughing cannot get finished successfully. Similarly both husband and wife run the family amicably.
    Nowadays many marriages broken in the middle through the word divorce. Such people donot understand the real meaning and purpose of marriage, they are taking the marriage as child play. It doesn't mean a man or woman cannot live without a marriage but there are practical problems faced by each which is not possible to express to others. So understanding, tolerating, adjusting are certainly necessary for a successful married life.

    Marriage is a lifelong bond for all of us. If everything goes well, there is no possibility of distortion of such a relationship since both partners think rationally to maintain an excellent relationship. However, we can observe skewed relationships sometimes among some partners.
    If such a distorted relationship between the partners is observed, it might be due to the egoist nature of either of the partners or both.
    If either of the partners is a far-sighted person, the relationship could be managed very smoothly. It is not a question of their lives but they should understand the adverse impact of such a relationship on their kids. So, a little tactfulness is always better to keep the relationship healthy.

    I am reminded of a dialogue from a Malayalam movie in which the father of the protagonist tells him that a couple in love can keep looking at each other's eyes for infinity, but it is when both of them start looking in the same direction that life becomes meaningful. Marriage is a bond between two strangers (acquaintance or even knowing each other before marriage may not help because people tend to fake in order to impress and the reality will come to the fore only after marriage) and so it goes without saying that both the partners will have to be ready for adjustments and compromises if the relationship is to be maintained. It is human to have individual interests and aspirations, but the institution of marriage will survive only when one is able to look at the interests of the family as a whole. In doing so, one may have to sacrifice some of his/ her likings and may have to compromise on the demands by the other party. It is all about understanding each other and fixing priorities.

    I personally don't think that the increase in divorce cases is due to the influence of western culture. It is rather due to the changes in our lifestyle. Why talk about marriages only? The sanctity of all relations is crumbling and so are our social commitments too. Relationships are losing their value and from nuclear families we are moving on to individual centric society where everything comes after 'me' and 'I'. Reasons are many and are not at all encouraging.
