A man asked his father-in-law, “Many people praised you for a
successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?”
The father-in-law answered in a smile, “Never criticize your wife for
her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you.”
We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are
afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.
” If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.”
NO POINTING FINGERS

Too bad most husbands are not like this father in law
Nice thoughts. . for a successful marriage. .. Ujwal.. anything on cards????
i believe to complete the scene we must add that “everyone hates public
criticism , but loves timely offered individual suggestions for improvement”..
Ignoring errors wd never lead to improvement but gentle suggestions will work
wonders…
