New Life
Punjabi Matrimony is the beginning of a new life for Punjabi brides and grooms and an
essential part of marriage is managing relationships and keeping your love alive for each
other.
Marriage without love is like a flower without a fragrance. In most marriages, love seems to
disappear after a few years but there are some aspects that can help to keep your love for
each other alive.
Acceptance
Acceptance is the basis of respect and if you respect each other this will go a long way to
make your marriage a success. Accepting each other should not be based on mere words, it
should show up in your actions too. You should be ready to accept and respect each other's
families and relatives.
Friendship
It is crucial for the Punjabi bride and groom to develop an attitude of friendship to gain
confidence in each other. Just as you share your secrets and good times with your best
friends, doing the same with your life partner will create a great deal of trust and
understanding in your matrimonial life. Friends understand each other's perspectives and
stand beside each other in difficult times and if you share your day with your life partner, you
will have the same trust in your relationship too. Taking the time to understand each other's
values, interests and goals will make you more comfortable with each other.
Spending Time With Each Other
Most couples stop spending time with each other after marriage and get involved in their
daily routine of life. This is the biggest mistake they can make. The Punjabi culture and
family structure is such that there is not much privacy. This kills the spark between the
Punjabi bride and groom. You need to spend some time together, laugh with each other,
have fun and bring the romance back into your life.
Share Responsibilities
As both the Punjabi bride and groom are usually working, it can become difficult to handle
the personal as well as the professional lives effectively. This can lead to arguments which in
turn can cause a breakdown in the relationship and more seriously can eventually bring an
end to the marriage. One partner should not be burdened with all the family responsibilities.
Share the work at home and enjoy spending time with each other while doing the daily
chores of the house including the responsibilities of the children. This is an excellent way of
building a strong relationship.
Give Some Space
Staying together after marriage does not mean that you should invade each other's personal
space. You should not expect your partner to be with you at all times both emotionally and
physically. You need to give enough personal space and freedom to each other to ensure
that your love can blossom effectively.
Forgiveness
Arguments will inevitably happen in every marriage especially in the initial years. However, if
you want to keep your love alive in your hearts then you must learn to forgive each other.
Holding grudges over small arguments and petty little matters can kill your relationship.
Listen
If you want a vibrant marriage, then you should listen more than you speak. Take the time to
understand your partner's life and health conditions and expectations.
Daily Dose of Love
Love and kindness should not be just for birthdays and anniversaries. You can celebrate
every moment of togetherness and love between you. Do not leave your kindness and
affection for special occasions. Giving even a chocolate or a rose can bring a smile on your
partner's face.
Following these tips will ensure that love will never fade away in your matrimonial life.
