Explanation / Answer
A successful marriage life needs an open heart and an open mind in order to accept their partner with all their strength and limitations because everything will seems to be alright in the initial stage but as time goes by people will focus on the negatives of other people. Secondly, people need novelty in making their marriage life successful as repetition might cause them feel bored and become dull. They need the much needed patience to understand the other person because sex might get bored over a period of time but the intellectual bonding might last for a longer period.
In my opinion NO. People enter into marriage life as strangers or not knowing each other better because when they were lovers they were looking at only the positives but when people get married they would look for all the negatives. So, they don’t take the skills while getting married but develop it over a period of time.
Marriages are fixed in heaven and marriage will keep one happy for ever. I think we are all human and there is no eternal happiness and there is no eternity. Life is full of ups and downs and those who travel together going through the difficulties will stay for long.
It was a love marriage (my parents) and they live happily although, they had enough problems. They overcame all their difficulties by talking about it. They had sacrificed many things for the children’s sake. They both started their new life together although their parents were not happy that they start their life together. They are happy because they love each other without any expectation.
I think inter-religious and inter-faith marriages are the best type of marriage because only they have the ability to make the world a better place to live by producing children who think beyond their religion, culture etc. They are going to form a new breed that would transform the world and relive it from the clutches of race, ethnicity, colour etc.
Yes, they have to face more hurdles in the society because, they will be discriminated on all walks of life if the society is intolerant to such marriages. Starting from housing, job etc. they would be discriminated. Their families would keep them away out of fear that the society will reject them. Their children will face lots of problem as they grow looking for their identity.
Their advantage is that they won’t go into the clutches of any social constructs such as religion, culture etc. because they will develop a tolerant mind-set towards other religions and cultures.
I’m a giver in my relationship because it makes me happy. Being selfish makes me more stressed but when I sacrifice my needs for the needs of my lover, I feel more content and happy. My other half is also more considerate and sensitive to my needs, so this complements both of us and keeps us happy. I’m comfortable with my role in the relationship.
I think I had to be patient enough to understand why my other half does something before judging the action. I had to change my timings because I needed to spend more time with my other half. My other half sacrificed her job for me because my other half needed to move with me. My parents had to change their mind-set about my other half and accept my other half whole heartedly because my other half was from another race.
