I will keep this simple and straightforward because the mantra book for a married life can’t be simply put in 10 lines. But I will try to touch more practical aspects of a marriage and how husband and wife can help each grow in their relationship.
- Husband and wife should practice perseverance. Two people might have a different lifestyle. But after marriage, both should try to cooperate with each other.
- Practice this mantra–work together, play together, and grow together.
- Avoid small fights that may actually lead to big ones. Try to understand each other viewpoint as much as you can.
- Share with each other. Even if nothing material is available, share your love and concern.
- Be fun to be around. Keep a positive heart.
- While eating, keep your mind free of all the troubles. Relish the food.
- Respect each other’s parents and family.
- Give each other personal space and be ready to jump in whenever necessary.
- Try to be the back-up for each other. Try to create opportunities for each other to grow, learn and enjoy.
- Respect each other’s spiritual beliefs and convictions. Do not impose your own thoughts.
