Some happy couples say a relationship is like a getting a good paying job; you have to work hard to get it and you have to work even harder to stay in it.
It is known that even the happiest couples never have the same character; liking or disliking but have the best understanding of their differences.
[b]I agree to this, I am happily married since 1966.
Are you married or in a relationship?
Please respond comment and share your views.[/b]
Thanks in advance. Professor Dr. B.Saraf. PhD. 2nd April 2013.
Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

Hello Rahul!
That makes me really annoyed because one of my ex's did the exact same thing to me! Annoyed me. Only thing different is that I treated my ex like he was a king. I did everything for him yet be treated me like crap.
I think you should seriously sit down and talk to your girlfriend and about ow much it is hurting you. That just isn't fair at all!
Best wishes!

I totally agree with you professor.
Over the years of getting married the couple learns the likes and dislike of one another and have adjusted to conform with them. It's a matter of give and take relationship actually.
I can say, that i am happily married although sometimes i feel like kicking my husband in the butt when he gets stubborn.

Hello professor, I am married and is in a relation with my wife. Our's was a half love-arranged marriage. We are happy and have been together for 12 years. I believe the attitude plays an important role for a happy married life. If both husband and wife are children, then that marriage won't be successful unless they play together the life without quarreling, which is improbable. That is the game they will be playing. If either one is an Adult, the marriage will be successful. If both are Parents, the fate will be similar to that of Children.
Understanding comes from an Adult mind only. Happy mylotting!

Well getting a good partner is not just about hard work , luck too plays a big part in it.Sometimes you will get someone good at once ,while some other time you will get wrong partners many times.Also there are cases when someone seems as good partner but he/she will take a U turn because they got someone better.So its all about recognizing who will be good to you and then working hard to treasure the relationship,best wishes.

Hi,
you are right. better understanding of differences in couples is the secret of happy married life. I am happily married since 1987. We have only son. We are very different in nature. I am very talkative and my wife is very calm and quiet. She handles every situation very patiently but I don't have patience. She has positive approach towards every problem in spite of her disability. She always encourages me in any difficulty. I also try to help her as far as possible. Some times there are some differences of opinions between us but they are solved easily because we can understand each others feelings. So we are happy family.

I'm in a relationship one year, and the difference between this one and my prior relationship is that I feel accepted, although we have a lot of differences. In my marriage, I didn't feel my differences were so much accepted as tolerated.

I have been in marriage since last 5 years. There are ups and downs, happy and sad moments in this relationship. Yes, we need to have lots of understanding, compassion as well as patience to make things work in marriage. One also learns a lot.

When we make a sweet dish, we add a pinch of salt, similarly a pinch of sugar is added to salty dish, ups and downs are like this pinch of salt/sugar, it brings us together lol.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree. I have been in my relationship for 12 years now. My husband and I are complete opposites when it comes to food, style, music, etc.. But, we compromise and I think that is a big part of it, just being willing and wanting to do that for someone on a daily basis. We don't always "get along", and we bump heads from time to time, but we know how to work with eachother and figure out what works best and move on because we want to be forever, not because we have to. If he didn't have the little imperfections (or what I think are imperfections anyway), I don't think I could love him as much as I do. We think of ourselves as being a happy couple. :)

Wow very impressive Prof ! Like you're in your Golden wedding anniversary. Nowadays few only can have that number of years in marriage usually end up in the court. You marriage is a big blessing ! I am not in a happy relationship. I am always sad but that's okay because i have learnt to accept that.So much more in life that being happy in a relationship. Not all the things that we wanted can be ours , i have accepted that fact .

Hello Professor.
Well I have been in relationship for almost two and half years. And I am very happy with my relationship. We have lots of common interests but then we also have lots of differences. There are certain things that I dont like about her and vice versa. Still we tolerate those differences because of the fact that we love each other and hence also readily forgive each other whenever we fight.
Have a nice day !!

I think understanding of differences is the main key to create happy couple, because a couple is two person that have different background, so it is a reality that they have some differences. Understanding is also the hard effort to make a happy couple.

Namaskar sir
I never believe in that theory - Friendship, Love and Marriage are never like jobs to me nor do I want a friend or a love or a wife who believes that way. It is a family - where the more you give is the more you get. Give love, caring and honesty to any relationship and it will always be beautiful and blissful.

Yes, to have good relationship you have to work on it. You have to water it so the seed can become the healthy plant. I am single though. I hope when I am in relationship, I can have a good one.

Hello Professor!
Congratulations to you and your wife for staying together for so long. That is really lovely. :)
I am single right now. Sometimes I like being single because I can do what I want and I don't need to have all that stress I have had in being in a relationship because it really is way too much work. :p
Happy MyLotting.

Thank you. :)
I do kind of want someone sometimes. It's even more lonely when I see happy couples around so hopefully my time will come soon where I can meet someone I like and he likes me back.

Hi Professor and congratulations for that many years of marriage. I too have been married for a number of years and marriage is something you have to work at, through the good times and through the bad. They do say married people are happy people and also healthier. Of course that is if you are lucky enough to be in a healthy relationship.
