your Marriage Storms

The movie
‘Twister’ was a cool example of
how a tornado brings an estranged couple together.
A subtle message could be perceived through
an interesting parallel built up between the
natural phenomenon (the tornado) and the couple’s
private life. Both are passionate about natural
storms but fail to weather their own marital
winds that eventually wreck their marriage.
But when God gives them another chance, as
they fight the natural disaster together and
emerge as winners, the understanding of the
fundamental truth emerges - if you
love each other, be brave enough to face the
storms in marriage and not chicken out.
Marriage
= Work
It is rightly said that ‘The
Marriage certificate is just another word
for a work permit’. Marriage
is a job that you cannot quit for a better
one, except in extreme cases :). It is a job
with no specific timings as all hours are
working hours, where your boss is none other
than your spouse and in which you end up spending
more than you earn.
Art of
Fighting
Do not despair, as the benefits of marriage
far exceed the drawbacks. It is your spouse
who is your boss, therefore unlike other situations,
you will love to argue, fight and wrestle
with this one. But isn’t fighting going
to increase the storms instead of clearing
them out? Now that is but a myth. Every couple
needs an outlet for the frustrations, anger,
stress, resentment, etc. that are created
because of the proximity and nature of relationship
that they are in. To sustain a healthy relationship
the steam needs to be let out, or it can stifle
the couple, leading to a disaster. What do
you think of pillow fights? Try them once
in a while. They will definitely cushion all
your anger. So fight! With all your Might
:)
Art of Loving
No. Not every day is supposed to start and
end with fights. With the art of fighting,
the art of loving needs to be mastered too.
To love and to care for each other is the
most beautiful feeling that you can ever enjoy
together. Cooking his favourite dishes, buying
her a beautiful and expensive dress are most
common ways of showing your appreciation and
love for the other. Gifts need not be expensive
always. Love can be expressed in different
ways too (verbally/non-verbally). Like for
e.g., going down the memory lane while viewing
pictures of marriage or engagement period
and then telling the other about feelings
and thoughts that were experienced at that
particular time in the past; or not just reminiscing,
but actually recreating those days you call
the ‘golden period’ of your relationship,
by going out for lunch during the office break
or dropping and picking up your spouse from
work, holding hands under the table at a party
or a restaurant. This will definitely lead
to the realization that both are indispensable
for each other, that it wouldn’t have
been so beautiful and fun without the other. |
