Spoke to a lady. She is a house wife. She had been married for 18 years and has two beautiful children. She grew up in America and got married in a joint family here. After so many years of marriage, she said that I am happy and my husband gave me strength all the time to go. he helped me with the family and kids and everything. They looked really in love even after so many years of marriage. So she shared that we both have made each other our priority. Does not matter how busy we are, we give time to each other.
In another scenario, a gentleman shared the same thing. He shared that his wife always stood by his side. He went through many tough times and his wife was always there. Which made his journey easier than it could have been. When whole world was against him, his wife was standing by his side. So I asked him, what did she get in return and he smiled. He shared that he has always been there. He has made her priority. her smile, her happiness, her desires and everything. They both love each other, take care of each other and yes, they both share a lot with each other.
More and more I spoke to people, more and more I realized, people were happier when they were in good relationships. They did not mind many jobs, testing times if they were with a loving and supportive partner. But that thing does not happen on its own. They have invested themselves in such relationships. They take care of each other, love each other, make an effort for each other. So before expecting anything, learn to give to your relationship. Make it a priority. This is what is going to be there till the end of life. So better keep it loving and supportive.
