The observations on marital life made by Sudha Murthy at India Today Conclave of 2024 is viral in social media today. Sudha Murthy opined that if you are married then you should be ready for a fight. Some couples claim that they don’t have any issues and their marital life go smoothly without any hurdles. That indicates that they are not real husband and wife. Difference of opinion is common between husband and wife. But how we approach those differences decides the success of marital life. It is a give and take relationship. Hundred percent perfection is not possible in marital relationship. There is no perfect life or perfect couples. These incompleteness itself can be said as the beauty of life. Every married person has his/her own plus and minus. Wife may be minus in certain things whereas her husband will be plus in it. In certain other things husband will be a minus and his wife will be a plus. A husband may have so many talents that his wife doesn’t have and vice versa. The plus of somebody along with the minus of the other together constitutes the success of a married life.
When disputes arise between couples do not get frustrated out of it. Couples should help each other. Responsibilities should be shared by them. A husband should never think that all the household chores must be done by the wife. Especially it is relevant in the case of working women. Similarly a wife should never think that the husband alone is responsible for running the affairs of home. There should be mutual respect, help and love.
