“Shaadi ka ladoo jo khaye woh pachtay jo na khaye woh bhi pachtay…” Well, well, well! You might have heard this dialogue many a time as it is quite often used and is a sort of an epitome of marriage…PHEW!!! Many of our readers have probably tasted this “LADOO” and we wish that they are not ‘pachtaying’. Also, a dil se shoutout to our lovely readers, who are all set to walk down the aisle. Let’s start with a very significant question as to what is a marriage? Meeting a person, falling flat for him/her, considering that person to be a perfect match to grow old with constitutes the institution of marriage. Is it?
In case you think that marriage is all about love, than probably you are wrong! The reason why we are saying so is because marriage brings along a lot more than just this. A married life comes handy with not only sharing your room, your bed or other stuff with your soulmate, but it is way more than that for two people (who is “one soul” post the nuptial) would be sharing the rest of their lives together. Specifically mentioning our newlywed readers in here, to live your ‘love, laughter and happily ever after’ sort of a fairytale married life, you have to tie your shoe laces for all the ups and downs that might follow because no married life is a bed of roses. There are a lot of things to deal with in a newly-wedded life. Below are some pointers that we have listed out. Start scrolling!!!
#1. Enroute selflessness
After wedding, ‘I’ and ‘You’ turns to ‘Us’, right? Every newly married couple has to come to terms with this reality of driving themselves away from what they want individually, it should be a mutual decision. What shall I binge on for dinner to what shall we binge on for dinner and so on and so forth. It’s not that you are suppressing of your wants, it’s like keeping in mind your partner’s wish as well, which goes hand-in-hand.
#2. Striking perfect balance between professional and personal lives
There is no denying the fact that professional live boasts of a lot of pressure, but never ever let those issues enter your home and create a barrier between you and your partner. Let the professional life stay in the office, no? If something pisses you off on the professional front, don’t vent it out on your partner. NEVER EVER!!!
#3. Don’t let misunderstanding be the player
One of the foremost things that a newly married couple should keep in mind is to talk everything out. Never let certain things unsaid, which might create problems later on. You never know how communication gap would throw a Google to your happily married life. So, be careful!
#4. Money matters or money MATTERS!
“Jo mera hai wo tera hai, jo tera hai wo mera…” And this is how the money matters should be after entering the holy bliss of matrimony. Why not have the same savings account as that of your partner after you two decide on forever.
#5. After all, we are a family!
How about keeping your mobile phones off the dinner table and enjoy the scrumptious meal with your partner and your family? As interesting as it may sound, this will not only let you relish the meal, but might also make your family feel loved.
These were a few important aspects that come to forefront when adjusting with new married life comes to play. In case you want to add something or share your thoughts and experiences with us, feel free to comment below!
