MARRIAGE - Top 10 Different types of Marriages

Article by supriya jha

The concept of marriage is not a recent practice. It has been there in our society since ages. In fact we are here because our parents got married to each other. Marriage also known as matrimony is the socially recognized union between two individuals. It is a kind of relationship involving mutual rights and duties where two people are socially approved to establish a family. Hence it is a universally accepted social institution. Now we shall look forward to its broader concept. The types of marriages practiced all around the globe can be varied. Different societies believe in different kind of religious practices for the social recognition of a relationship. However nowadays new forms of marriage are coming up which is perhaps beyond our knowledge. Some might also seem weird to us, but they are legalized in their countries, and people practice it with complete freedom and liberty. No matter what, its main essence remains the same. All we have seen so far is the typical ‘Indian’ wedding with great pomp and show and our understanding of marriage is confined to that. We never look beyond that to explore what is going on in the world around. Well, here we have this list of ten amazing types of marriages which will open up your mind and help you know beyond your communal or societal practices.

10. COMMON LAW MARRIAGE

This is also known as ‘defacto’ or informal kind of marriage where two people are married to each other on a contract basis. Well, it is actually legalized in many countries and in places where it has not yet been legalized it is known as ‘cohabitation’. Though it might seem very modern and westernized kind of concept, you will be surprised to know that it is one of the oldest forms of marriage which is still in practice. They are generally monogamous in nature, and legal divorces after a particular time period ends the marriage tenure.

9. BOSTON MARRIAGE

We all have heard about the current trend of gay and lesbian marriages. But this is an older version of the same concept practiced generally in the early 19th and 20th century where two women lived together which might or might not be sexual. They were engaged in a relationship and would interact in public as a couple rather than female friends. Thus what we see today is just a modified concept of the same. Boston marriages hold a unique place in history and were mostly practiced by those women who felt they had a better connection with females rather than males. Its origin took place through a novel (Bostonians) written by Henry James in 1886.

8. HYPOGYNY AND HYPERGYNY

Both of them are opposite in meaning, but we have collectively dealt with them since both focus on one aspect and their main theme remains the same. Hypogyny is a kind of marriage practice in which a woman is married to a husband of lower social status, rank or age. Hypergyny on the other hand is a complete vice-versa case where a woman is married to a family of higher social status and is more recognized. It is generally practiced in societies with dowry rituals where the bride’s family pays a heavy sum to match up to the groom’s level. Also,it signifies patriarchy and male dominance in the society.

7. LEVIRATE AND SORORATE

Levirate originates from the word ‘levir’ which means husband’s brother. It is basically a specialized kind of polygamy in which the man marries the widow of his dead brother. Its origin lies in the ancient Hebrew and Christian societies. In places like Southern Sudan it is known as ‘ghost marriage’. Sororate on the other hand means a kind of the marriage system in which the widower marries one of his wife’s sisters. Also,due to infertility and several other factors a sororate marriage was practiced in few societies. One of them is the Maricopa Indians of Arizona.

6. POLYGYNY AND POLYANDRY

Polygyny is a very popular kind of marriage in which a man has more than one wife and there are certain biological, economic and sociological reasons behind the acceptance of this kind of marriage practice. Widely practiced by the Muslims of the Middle East, this marriage system is said to discourage prostitution. Sororal polygyny is one in which the man marries one or more of wife’s sisters. Polyandry which is again a vice versa situation in which a woman has more than one husbands. Though it is much less common but it has happened to occur in many countries where males outnumber females in terms of population and hence such kind of marriage practice becomes a need for the society.

5. POLYAMORY

Polyamory can be simply defined as what we call ‘bisexual’ in today’s era. Though it has not been legalized anywhere but is still practiced in certain places. Bisexuality is just one form of polyamory which signifies that it is a wide term. It is a system in which both men and women have more than one sex relational partners. However it is more popular in terms of bisexual people since this helps them express both sides of their sexuality. This is quite complex kind of marriage practice and is hardly accepted socially.

4. OPEN MARRIAGE

This is again a very interesting kind of marriage concept and is also legally practiced. It allows extramarital affairs for both the spouses and both of them have the option of maintaining outside relationships beyond the marriage terms. It can be one sided as well. Swinging is one kind of open marriage. The only difference being swingers are emotionally monogamous and the origin of this kind of marriage practice is dated back to 1960s and 70s. However it is not yet socially accepted because of which people generally hide it from their family and friends. Also there are certain issues like jealousy, legal factors and religious obstacles in context to this kind of marriage.

3. SAME SEX MARRIAGE

Nowadays same sex marriage has been in limelight because of increasing number of gay and lesbian couples. It is monogamous but with people of the same sex. It is gradually being legalized in most of the countries including India where people are allowed to marry someone of the same sex. However such kind of married couples are unable to produce children according to biological patterns, thus they opt for adoption. Well some gays and lesbians are also polyamorous.

2. MONOGAMY

It is a very popular and general kind of marriage practice which is widely practiced all around the world, since people consider it the natural way both socially and biologically. Monogamy again is a very wide term which includes several sub components. It can be either love or arranged. Monogamy basically means marriage to one person for a lifetime and is widely in context to opposite sex. It also has subdivisions. Strict monogamy and serial monogamy. The former is a universally recognized form in which a person should not marry more than once whereas serial monogamy is practiced in places like U.S where one is allowed to marry twice, the only condition being that he/she should have one spouse at a time.

1. AFTER DEATH MARRIAGE

A very bizarre form of marriage which is legalized in countries like France where a person is allowed to marry a person of the opposite sex even after his death. Also it is socially accepted due to various reasons. There comes the concept of romantic quotient where a person is so much in love that he decides to marry even after the death of his/her beloved. However the interesting fact is that the bible also talks about this kind of marriage practice which is known as ‘marriage in heaven’ according to biblical terms. This is also one of the rare marriage types but is certainly one of a kind where there is some spiritual bond which connects two people even after death.

RELATIONSHIP - 10 Types of People You Should Never Date

Article by Abhilasha

Everybody in this world looks for people who will suit them the best. Everybody has a different choice of people and different needs suit them. But there are surely some characteristics which everybody avoids in people. These features are such which people don’t want in people surrounding them, specially their partners. They are a variety of qualities which are not liked by people. Like, how many partners lie about themselves, how they hide stuff. Or it can be the way a partner talks, gets rude etc. There are many instances when one partner is made to change because of the others demands. There is no way this should happen. One should remain how they are. These people are, hence, never really dated or if are, they are left. Here is a list of 10 kinds of people one should never date.

10. Partners who control and boss around

Such people are bossy by nature. When you first meet this person, you might think this character trait is cute, for awhile. And that he is attentive. Next thing which happens is that this person places every word and move of yours under intense check. You are pin pointed about everything. Your movie choices are never appreciated, the menu you order is always criticized. The control is to the extent that what you wear is commented upon too. After a while, you realize the control is too suffocating and it leaves you no space to breathe in independence. Hence, the best is to not continue being with such people who just order you around.

9. Partners Demanding Change

These kinds of people are found everywhere and are the types of partner most people are scared of.  There are a few, who like such people as they are too desperate to date or are very insecure of being left again. They claim they love the partner just as they are but slowly slowly, little by little change everything about their partner. They have a critical ego and comment on everything demanding change. From your wardrobe, to the people you hang out with, they change it all. Nothing works for them, which is your choice. The first thing to go after a few dates with them is your self-esteem. You are surely a loser in their eyes and if you don’t get away fast, you yourself start finding yourself one. Sometimes, the partner is sternly told that certain things will not change. If they understand, well and good but when that doesn’t work, you suffer.

8. Partners who are too dependent

These kinds of people are very difficult to date. Initially, these people seem very sweet and attractive. They make the person feel that they are so into their partner. They start feeling special. But in a while, the feelings change. One feels overwhelmed and suffocated by such partners. They can’t even decide what to wear for dinner, let alone any other important decisions regarding life. These partners are dependent on you for all decisions, for all tiny little things. Such people want you to be the person who decides everything in their life but you got to leave this soon. Or you will just remain the person who is managing their lives all day and night.

7. Partners who love Money

They are only concerned about the money. From the moment you meet, they start looking at your car, house, watch, wardrobe, professional success. These people just want to get close to you for the sake of your money. They may start liking you eventually, but even this “liking” is based on the money you posses. You slowly, start feeling you are just a bank account providing all the financial help to your materialistic partner. Avoid getting into such a relation and if you have gotten into one, you need to end it as soon as possible. If you don’t realize you are dating a money minded person, you will be left with nothing in the end, no money, and no honey.

6. Partners who are double faced

This Partner might look all smiles and happy from the outside but there is a deeper person inside. The nicer they are on the outside, the meaner they actually are. Their outward behavior is all sober but the inner is not. Their attitude isn’t good. They are cranky and shout with no reason at all. They are mean and look for reasons to fight. They are rude. And their conduct is not good. Till the time they are given importance, it is okay, but after that they are not to be handled easily. They slowly become more of a burden which one needs to let go off.

5. Partners with Ego

These partners are too smart. If anybody has any doubt, they always have all the answers. These kinds of people can never make you forget how brilliant they are. They are constantly reminding you about how good they are and that to at everything. They are confident and hence you are initially attracted to them. Their certain charm, their attitude is all very pleasing at first. Its only after a while it starts getting onto your nerves. These people forget to be human like. They pass rude comments and hurt peoples sentiments. They keep on talking, mostly about themselves. They are people who want to show you down in every conversation no matter what. You will realize you are not made for one another when you start feeling boring in his company and you feel you are worth nothing at all. Once you recognize this, just leave the egoistic person and go away

4. Partners who are good friends

Sometimes you date people out of pity or just because they are too nice. One needs to stop that, as these relationships are short term. These may invoke some liking but you can’t expect to fall in love and get married to this kind of a person. Just because they were around when you needed help, and they understand you really well does not mean they are meant for you. You need to stop dating such people and realize they are best kept as friends. Otherwise, it won’t be long before you break their hearts in pieces as they may just have fallen for you.

3. Partners who are negative

One needs to avoid people with too negative an attitude. These people initially seem nice as they like no other person as much as they love you. But this is not a very healthy habit. Such people dismiss all people you talk to them about. They will surely find some fault or the other with others. They just won’t praise any one. This slowly starts getting onto you. This happens when you already can predict their dismissive replies. This is the sign you need to look out for. When this starts happening, it’s a bad signal. This negative attitude gets rubbed onto the other partner also, which is even worse. You need to either start telling your partner to see the bright side too and not let the negative aspects rub on you or you need to leave such a person.

2. Partners who are disrespectful

These People cannot value you for what you are. They think they are better in everything and hence get rude. They shout at you, disrespect you. And it’s not just you, your choices and your family is looked down upon too. This is when it gets too much. When you are dating a person, it should be based on mutual understanding that people can have different choices but that doesn’t mean one has to look down at the others choices. There is no way that they can talk about your family or the things you like in a disrespectful manner. They make you feel ashamed and hesitant. No. You should be at your most comfortable around them. Your must be you and still must be happy and leave rude people.

1. Partners we date for experiment

People who are too possessive are not to be dated. These people initially seem to be too into you and this gives you a feeling that you are special, way too special. They want to know where you are, what you are doing, who are you with. All this gets too much after a life. They start irritating you. They stop you from meeting other people, or doing stuff which makes them feel insecure. There can be people who are insecure due to previous heartbreaks. But this does not mean they act like maniacs. There is a certain limit to how much you can control one’s life. These people should be avoided. These people get too annoying after a while.

FRIENDSHIP - 10 Common Problems that Every Friendship Faces

Article by Bhavana Narayan

We humans are social beings. It is impossible to remain isolated! We depend on each other and we always want to be in good company. Friendship is one of the most important of human relationships. Having good friends to count upon is a bestowment. Whether it’s confiding in someone you trust, looking back at the treasure trove of memories, funny incidents or teasing each other, friendship never fails to put a smile on our faces. Hanging out and having fun with friends is undoubtedly the best part of our lives! Life would be so monotonous and lack luster, without friends who illuminate our lives and bring out the best in us. During times of difficulty or during times of frolic, they have always been there. Be it combined studies or projects, be it partying, or celebrating birthdays and exchanging gifts, the silly fights. They’re all part and parcel of our lives. We share, hence, we care!

Unfortunately, like every relationship, friendship has its share of ups and downs. Many misunderstandings creep up and we end up resenting each other. It is unavoidable sometimes, but it’s always best to work things out. Issues prevent the friendship from blossoming. The suspicion, angst, tears and arguments pave the way for separation. The pain of losing friends is nothing short of torture! We all have been there, done that!

We must all be grateful and considerate toward friends, and value each of our friends, because they are our companions. This article addresses some of the key issues in friendships, and ways to deal with them. Read on! I’m sure you can relate to it.

10. Too busy to hang out!

    We get this a lot, don’t we? This friend never makes it to any of the hang outs or meet ups,   giving this classic excuse: “Too busy today!” If you really want to meet your friends, then you must make time for them. Sometimes, to see old friends after a really long time, you can go off schedule! Friends are as important as our work or daily routines. Taking the time out to be with friends is not time wasted. It adds on to our memories. We shouldn’t ditch the plans after making them. We should try and keep up the promises we made and live up to our friends’ expectations.

9. Drifting apart

When our friends go on to make new friends, we feel left out. It feels like we are drifting apart. It feels bad. You start getting all possessive. You want your friend back. The one who meant so much to you. You think that your friend has changed a lot and does not care for you anymore! Instead of becoming aloof, we should let the other friend know as to how we feel, and the friend must understand that it’s important to treat the old friend as well as the new one, equally. Working out plans will help, rather than being sad about it and arguing.

8. Insecurity and exclusion

  In a group of friends, generally, few differences arise and one always ends up feeling left out and feeling insecure. Feeling unwanted and feeling disconnected from the other friends is difficult to put up with. In this case, it’s always best to speak up. Most of the time, people won’t know what’s in your mind and they may not even know they’re ignoring you. They’re just too busy with themselves. For their part, they too must try and involve you in their lives and not be so self-obsessed.

7. Secrets and more secrets!

    A secret shared is a friend accepted. If you start keeping away from friends and be very secretive, it means you don’t confide in them. You won’t open up because you think they won’t understand you and may judge you. This leads to lack of trust and lack of understanding. It may lead to problems in getting along with them. It starts to appear as if they don’t form an important part of your life. In fact, talking to them might change your view about them, and you may get a solution to your problem too.

 6. Relationships

 A relationship and a friendship don’t always go hand in hand. If your friendship with someone is taken to the next level, i.e. a relationship, things may get complicated, either with that person or with your other friends. Your friends may think that you spend more time with your partner, than with them. And if you start hiding details of your relationship, things get worse.

If you have a crush on your friend’s boyfriend/girlfriend or cheat on your friend, you’re betraying your friend. It is very difficult to resolve such issues. Our conscience must be clear and we must not play around with our friends’ emotions. It will lead to serious trust issues!

5. Going behind the back

Going behind your friend’s back and talking bad things about him/her to resolve the differences between you both, does more harm than good. If you don’t like something in your friend, tell it directly to him/her, instead of directing it through someone else. It increases transparency in the friendship. Besides, criticizing your friend in front of other people is not a good thing to do! Pointing out your friend’s flaws to others is not being respectful towards him/her.

4. Not being there always

 Sometimes, we may feel that our friend hasn’t been there for us always. He/she is being selfish and hangs out with us only to fulfill his/her purposes. Being selfish is not a good trait in friendship. A true friend is there for support and help, during difficult times. Never back away in helping a friend in trouble. If a friend talks of his/her problems to you, listen! Do not think of it as meaningless cribbing. Think that you’re a refuge he/she is seeking.

3. Difference of opinion

 Many times, arguments arise due to difference in opinion. If you agree with something, your friend disagrees, or vice versa. What you like may not be liked by your friend. Your idea or suggestion may seem legit to you, while it may seem pointless to your friend. And things fall apart, in disarray. To your dismay, it is not easy to fix this. A compromise must be worked out. To be able to co-exist peacefully, the opinions of all must be considered to make decisions, lest anyone should bicker about it.

2. Mistrust and misunderstandings

When trust is broken, it is a huge blow to the friendship. You start to hate your friend. Often, misunderstandings arise due to lack of clear communication. Before you conclude wrongly about your friend, think of the all good things he/she has done for you. Think of all the ways he/she has helped you, before you jump into a conclusion, for one mistake. Revenge is no good. We should forgive our friends for their mistakes.

Even though it is difficult to talk about something unpleasant, we must make it a point to apologize sincerely, for our mistakes. The key is to talk and resolve a way out! Not being open will worsen the issue. A slight misunderstanding shouldn’t give way to havoc.

1. Jealousy and competition

Jealousy is the biggest obstacle to a successful and blissful friendship. When we start to become jealous of our friends, we start thinking of just ourselves. We doubt our capabilities and become sadistic. We should be happy for our friends. The competitive spirit must be healthy. It shouldn’t come in the way of the friendship. We all have our ebbs and highs. Dealing with them with friends by our side is better than going out about it alone. If you are confident about yourself, you wouldn’t be jealous of your friend’s accomplishments. Jealousy shouldn’t be allowed to creep in. The friendship is more important than the problem. Relationships must not be weighed against material possessions.

MARRIAGE - Top 10 Qualities a Good Wife Must Have

Article by pujitha reddy

A woman plays many roles in her life. She is a daughter, a wife and a mother. Every woman obviously wants to be a good daughter, a good wife and a good mother too. She has to give lots of love in order to be all these ‘goods’. But just love is not enough to be a good wife. Some skills and qualities are required to be a good wife and of course for a healthy marriage. My advice to all the housewives is to be a good wife and then expect your man to be a good husband! Also it’s easy to be in unconditional love in the earlier stages of a relationship but to continue your relationship with the same spark in the later years you need to do a lot of things. I dedicate this article to all the married women out there! Here are the qualities that a good wife must have

10. Quit Nagging

There is a proverb that a nagging wife annoys like a constant dripping. I absolutely agree with that. Who doesn’t get annoyed by nagging? Nagging and complaining constantly may create an unwanted rift in your relationship. It can also become a vicious cycle forcing him to avoid you. This will definitely complicate the things between you and make them worse. How do you expect him to like you if he feels personally attacked by your nagging? Nagging doesn’t work, so just quit it. Ask him nicely and I bet that he’ll definitely consider what you are saying. Remember that a good wife doesn’t nag!

9. Look good, Charm him

Most women believe that it doesn’t matter how they look after marriage. But the truth is it definitely does matter. Married women tend to gain weight, become fat and lose their shape. Ladies, you have to take care that you look attractive even after marriage or else men can find their own way! So it is necessarily important that you captivate all his attention only on you. This will definitely keep him from cheating you. Husbands really love good looking wives. They will do anything to please them!

8. Be Unpredictable, Surprise him often

Even though there is an issue as to whether being unpredictable is a good thing in marriage or not, according to me it just spices up the relationship. Relationships get boring if they are too predictable. You just have to take care that the unpredictable things you do are not disturbing! Surprising your husband with thoughtful gifts every now and then, special candle light dinners or even special romantic nights with you playing the seductress will help you grab his attention! Even small surprises like making his favourite snack or dish once in a while will do. You can also come up with some creative ways of surprising him. The central idea is to give him the thrill of surprise and remember that men like surprises too!

7. Organize the house, be a good maid

Keep your house clean and organized. The healthy atmosphere you create in your home will lift his mood. Come up with innovative ideas to make your home a peaceful place for him. Don’t ever feel burdened doing all the chores. It’s not a bad idea after all. Make him dependent on you by doing all his chores. He’ll surely miss you and think about you when you are not around! Let’s be reminded of a quote in this context “A wife is a friend first, a lover second, and third and probably most important, a maid.”

6. All the positive qualities

A good wife is pleasant and she is not rude. To be a good wife you must be warm, kind, affectionate, caring, understanding, positive, obedient and friendly. You should also be responsible, reliable and give him confidence to do anything. All these qualities will make your husband comfortable around you. When your husband returns home after a hard day at work a warm welcoming smile will make his day! You have to possess all these positive qualities.  You have to be loyal and support him both in his success and failure. You should be at his side especially in times of hardship. Most important of all respect your husband and you’ll definitely get back his respect!

5. A Guy needs his Space

You must accept that your husband has a life other than you. There are other people too in his life like his family, friends and workmates. He also has his hobbies, interests and passions too. Don’t stop him from having this other life. Give him his space. Let him do whatever he wants to and this will make him love you more. One straight point is that an interfering wife is so irritating. Don’t interfere, don’t irritate and he’ll love you back!

4. Sexual Intimacy is important too

If a guy is not met with his sexual needs it can be reflected in his mood. If your husband is frustrated often the reason might be that his sexual desire is not being fulfilled. One of the reasons why most marriages fail is because of lack of exciting sexual relationship! According to a research the reason why most men cheat is mostly physical whereas for women it is emotional! Make your husband happy in bed. The best way to satisfy your husband is to think in his shoes and give him what he needs.

3. Don’t hide your love

As you may know hiding your love is of no use. Don’t withhold your love. Express it to him. He’ll definitely appreciate that. Join in his activities and spend as much time as is possible with him. Complement and praise him very often. Small gestures are enough to show your love. Remember the special days in his life, celebrate every small occasion in a simple manner that he will enjoy and get unique gifts for him as a token of your love. Bring joy to him with these small but unique ideas and he’ll never forget the special moments and memories you create.

2. Be open with your feelings

A guy will trust you only if you open up to him. Be honest with your husband. Trust him with everything. Don’t keep any secrets from him. You can earn his trust this way. Relationships succeed only if there is mutual trust! Make it compulsory to talk to him daily about how his day was spent. Listen to what he says patiently and understand his feelings. Remain calm if any difficult discussion arises and try to sort it out. Assure him that you are there for him. Good communication will strengthen your bond!

1. Compatibility

There are many personality traits that attract you and your husband to each other making you both compatible with each other but they may not hold up over time. And if this dissimilarity arises you can’t suddenly call yourselves incompatible. You should understand that compatibility isn’t something you have but instead it’s something you make. A good wife takes care that she doesn’t grow apart from her husband. She makes herself compatible with her husband. You must be wondering how this can be achieved. The answer is simple, by improving your relationship skills you can get along better with your husband. This includes making compromises and solving your conflicts. You have to tolerate the burden of being bored and dissatisfied. Remember these lines “A perfect wife is one who doesn’t expect a perfect husband”. Create compatibility and eventually you will become soul mates!

You may be having doubts whether this will work out or not but trust me, these things that you do for him will not go unnoticed. In fact these will increase his love for you and even inspire him to do things for you. Also most of the things mentioned in this article are not just mere ideas of a writer. They are the opinions of many experts brought to you in a presentable manner that you can understand!

MARRIAGE - 10 Ways How Life Changes After Marriage

Article by surbhi jalan

Marriage is a bonding between two people, two families, two societies, two traditions, which should be handled with care, respect, trust and love. Getting married and giving someone lifelong commitment is a huge change in itself. A lifetime is a long, long time to be with anyone. For some, marriages have a negative impact on a relationship whereas for others marriage has more pros than cons if looked closely. Many people consider marriage as a prison and spouse as a ball and a chain. The goods and bads of marriage is very subjective but one thing that no one can deny is marriage does bring a change in life of both the girl and the guy. It’s no surprise to anyone that getting married will change a relationship. Below are ten ways how life changes after marriage:

10. Changes the way you make decisions

Changes the way you make decisions

After marriage, the way you make decisions changes to a large extent. Once you get married, many important situations like where to live, style of parenting, future plans come up where a strong decision making is required. Even though there is room for making personal decisions, you are also expected to consult your partner for effective decision making. The foundation of a healthy relationship is two individuals making wise decisions. It is never advisable for a couple to involve each other in every decision they take as personal space is always required. But, after you get married, the “me” changes to “we” and the arena of decision making for all noteworthy choice becomes shared decision making. There are also situations when the consensus is not arrived and in those cases, usually the girl is expected to give up and the final call belongs to the husband. You now have to start thinking for two and make decisions that are not only in your best interests, but also the best interests of your spouse and your relationship together.

9. You learn how to compromise

You learn how to compromise

Before marriage, you just expect things to happen your way but once you get married, you simply can’t do things the way you used to. You have to learn to compromise and to give and take.  Marriage is more about taking care of two instead on one.  You’ll have to compromise your likings and interests which might be of going to a movie just because your partner wants to relax at home. Things change more when children come along. It’s amazing how your life starts revolving around that little baby. Sleep, temper, your likings, everything becomes secondary in life.

8. Changes your priorities

Changes your priorities

Once you get married, your priorities changes. You think more about family, household chores, bills and the kids than the romantic dates you used to think about earlier. Preparing dinner and making sure that everyone is up for dinner prioritize over your daily serials and TV shows. Your spouse, his or her comfort and feelings becomes your top most priority.

7.You develop a sense of security

You develop a sense of security

After marriage, you develop a deeper sense of security as you will always have someone whom you can look forward to at any point of time, when you need them, someone to talk to .Initially, it’s difficult to get used to the other person, their things, their good and bad habits but once you get along, it’s like a house on fire. You will always have someone to lean on, go places with, and talk to, and share things with and to take care of you. You’ll feel more secured and comfortable.
6. You learn to communicate better

You learn to communicate better

The way we communicate changes in most of the cases. People become more calm and composed in usual cases after marriage. You react differently to situations than you used to when you were not married. You learn to express yourself better and fix things in a calm manner.This change comes because after getting married you realize that if you’re going to be doing this for the rest of our lives we have to find out how to communicate better otherwise you’re not going to get anywhere. By respecting each other’s feelings and emotions the journey will always be smoother else it will be uneven and rough for both, the guy and the girl. A good marriage helps you to mature in many aspects such as patience, forgiveness, endurance, tolerance. And your level of maturity will definitely impact your relationship.

5. Taking care of two families from one

Taking care of two families from one

Marriage is a bond not only between two individuals but also between two families, even between two cultures and religions. It is where two souls unite, two families unite, two cultures and traditions come together. After marriage, the girl expects her husband to respect and take care of her parents equally to his parents and the same is expected by a husband from his wife.
