LETTER FROM A NEWLY MARRIED GIRL TO HER MOTHER

Dear mom,
Like every normal girl,I was excited about marriage,right from my childhood days.I never thought beyond the time that I would spend happily with my prince charming but today when I am married I realize that marriage is not all roses. It's not just about being with your beloved and having a gala time. There is so much more to it. It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and compromise's. I can't wake up anytime I want to. I am expected to be up and ready before everyone else in the family I can't laze around in my pyjamas throught the day. I am expected to be presentable everytime. I can't just go out anytime I want to. I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family. I just can't hit the bed anytime i want to. I am expected to be active and around the family. I can't expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take care of every one else in the family. And then I think to myself "Why did I get married at all?" I was happier with you,mom. Sometimes I think of coming back to you & getting pampared again. I want to come home to my favourite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friend. I want to sleep on your laps like I have no worry in this in this world.
But then I suddenly realize, had you not get married and made such sacrifices in your life, I wouldn't have had so many wonderful memories to hang on to. And suddenly, the purpose of all this become clear-to return the same comfort, peace and happiness to my new family that I got from you. And I am sure that as time would pass, I would start loving this life equally as you do.
Thank you mom for all the sacrifices and compromises you made. They give me the strength to do the same. LOVE YOU.

BEING SINGLE

BEING SINGLE ISN'T A TIME TO BE LOOKING FOR LOVE, USE THAT TIME TO WORK ON YOURSELF AND GROW AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

"Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your The Prophet (SAWS) said:

“Take benefit of five before five:

your youth before your old age,

your health before your sickness,

your wealth before your poverty,

your free-time before your preoccupation,
and your life before your death.”

A girl before marriage...!!

"My man should be a
perfect guy."

"He should love me
more than I do."

"He should never make
me cry."

"He should always
understand me."

But after marriage...!!!!
"So what if he's not
perfect, he's still the
best for me."

"So what if he doesn't
love me unconditionally, I`ll love him."

"So what if he's not
understanding me, I`ll
understand him & adjust
because I cant afford to
lose him...

10 things you have to know about arranged marriages

1) Right age: Love knows no age, but in order to make a good match through arranged marriage, it is imperative to keep age consideration in mind. The preferable age for girls is around 25 or 26 and for guys no later than 30.

2) Self assessment: Take a pen and paper and list down what all things you expect in your spouse to be and what level of compatibility do you desire, that will be in tune with the compromises that will need to be made.

3) Decent Expectations: Expectations in an arranged marriage tend to run high and higher the expectations, greater are the disappointments because at the end of the day, it is not necessary that all the virtues that you desire can be found in one person.

4) Economic compatibility: Arranged marriages take everything in account and strive for utmost compatibility even in terms of economic standing of the families. In fact, in olden days it was a way of ensuring financial security for the bride.

5) Beauty: Arranged marriage is about suitability and compatibility. Beauty can easily take a back seat. Your intended need not be as dashing as Tom Cruise or as charming as Kate Winslet. Looks are important but not the most important thing.

6) Understanding: Now, this is the million dollar question: how can you understand a person in just one or two meets? At times a lifetime seems less to truly understand someone. It is here that you should share your feelings about the person with your very close friends or may be siblings.

7) Observe Etiquettes: Yes, there are some set codes of conduct that society at large expects you to follow. For example, do sufficient background research about the person before consenting to meet. Answering in negation after having met twice or thrice may be detrimental to the person’s self confidence.

8) Take Advice: Feel free to take advice from those you feel will be able to guide you in the best possible way. Do not make a show of your feelings but then do not go about it unsolicited.

9) Final Decision: Do not just marry a girl or a guy just because your parents or friends asked you to. It has to be your own decision and you will be responsible for whatever happens later in the life.

10) Commitment: Arranged marriages are based on commitment and it is the most necessary element that keeps a relationship going.
