HARMONIOUS MARITAL RELATIONS

Acknowledge and Appreciate Differences

A NEWLY married couple wanted to know how they could make their marital life harmonious. There is only one answer to this question. The husband should learn to adjust with his wife’s emotional nature and the wife should learn to adjust with her husband’s tenacious nature. After this, if God wills, the couple will enjoy harmonious relations for the rest of their lives.

Women and men are not opposing genders, but complement each other. On this basis, each of them has been blessed with certain additional qualities. Women are generally more emotional, an added quality of theirs. It does not indicate weakness or shortcoming. Likewise, if men are generally more unyielding, it is not their weakness but rather, an added quality. Both these unique qualities are necessary in life. Men and women should see these differences as part of God’s Creation Plan. If they realize this, they will acknowledge and appreciate each other, instead of complaining and clashing.

In line with being emotional, most women are soft in nature. They are able to solve problems using this natural trait they have been blessed with. The good that lies in men’s tenacity is that where needed, they can deal with issues in a strong manner. In this way, both women and men are able to play their respective roles, making the family and the wider society function harmoniously.
