Have you ever wondered why they call the significant other the "better half" and why would it be signifcant?

 

I believe the answer is that you are only half because you are not married. When you finally tie the knot, you are complete. Think about Yin and Yang, Jack and Jill.

 

Single men and women can be thought of as raw materials of the society. But when a man and a woman embrace the institution of marriage, they will slowly be refined and processed to perfection. For instance, husband and wife will learn how to communicate, show love, care and concern, show respect, learn to be other centre, etc. So, marriage not only refines but will help them to reproduce when they are ready for children.

Marriage is like an invisible magnet that can exert a universal pull on human beings of like mind and soul together. This explains why marriage, as a habit and ritual of modern society, is ingrained in us.

All single men and women, no matter what careers  you are in and what you want to pursue, it is a matter of time you have to work at finding your significant other, sooner or later, inorder to achieve a balance and fulfilling life .

Marriage completes the man and woman. A good marriage is like a house being a home, a song that is music to the ears and a baby that is the centre of truth and innocence.

Marriage completes the man and woman because it comes with the guarantee of unconditional love. It has to be continuously nurtured and nourished with sincere expression of love.  

For marriage to complete the man and woman, personal effort is required. Even if we may have worries both at home and at the workplace, relationships also need work of their own, even if that means overtime work.

•  Always find ways to say "I love you" without saying the words "I love you". Since actions speak louder than words, you can try to be nice, show that you care , help to run the errands sometimes, or surprise your wife with some nice gifts.Make your marriage your # 1 project in life. Never let it slip to # 2 or # 3 position.

• Argue if you will – it’s healthy, but be fair. Don’t disobey the rules and go overboard. If conflict is inevitable, resolution is also inevitable. Kiss and make up and solve the problem together, instead of putting blame on the other.

• Be a mature marriage partner, but be innocent in your soul and have the curiosity and interest of a child. Marriage can be frustrating at times – this is perfectly normal and to be expected – but don’t lose interest in your partner - ever. If you catch it escaping from your grip, grab it back and start from first base again. Repetitive stress tends to make us jaded and we burn out from the demands of home and office, but this doesn’t mean that we should give up on life. Plan the future with gusto. Aim high for completion. When you get there, tell yourself, “there’s more completing to do. It shouldn’t stop here.”

There is a simple and effective way for a couple to remain in love forever, simply by bringing love down to earth. A couple’s willingness to share an ordinary life…to find meaning in the most insignificant and unromantic tasks. Taking a walk together, enjoy the natural sights and sceneries, having a simple meal together with or without candle lights,etc. Enjoying the ordinariness of life and delighting in it, seeing beauty in the simple and mundane, and not resenting it when the marriage no longer holds a cosmic drama, an entertainment tonight kind of activity, or an intensity of anything.
