We are realizing shortly after marriage the funny nuances of living with a new person. He likes to snack whenwe get home from work; I like to hit the dinner plate. He likes to go out on Sundays; I like to stay at home. And he likes the air conditioning coooolllld; me not so much. It results in confusion, politeness, irritation and eventually laughter.
Having been together for five years, we’re not strangers and hence there isn’t much of ‘getting to know’ taking place for us. But we are arranging our lives around each other. Of course, it’s a lot easier for me because I was earlier staying alone and now my he has joined me. He is now staying away from his family and so has to find that elusive ‘balanced detachment’.
I’m fully aware that a love marriage is not necessarily the only recipe for a happy life, I am grateful for the way my life has turned out. When my best friend becomes my family, I have every reason to be happy.
finding happiness in marriage is getting more and more elusive. Or maybe now it’’s coming out into the open more than ever. Congratulations on finding that rare gift.
