Making Life Happier
Suddenly it starts raining on Sunday.
"Oh fish, how come it’s raining in summer? Now we have to cancel our plan...” she said.
They both were ready to go out. She was planning of this day for weeks. She got very furious and was cursing the rain.
He held her close in his arms and said "It's ok dear we will wait for some time. This rain will stop soon. It’s not late yet".
"NO, IT WON’T!! Whenever I make any plan to spend any quality time with u something or the other happens. It’s been 5 months since we went out together and enjoyed. But today it shouldn’t be like this. Come’ on it’s our 1st marriage anniversary and we wont be able to celebrate it. Hell with this rain."
"Oh come-on we can celebrate any time. We are together now right. We can enjoy this weather. See its feeling like rainy season; just prepare some pakodas and tea".
"See this is what happens when we are at home. I am always busy in kitchen; even I need some free time dear".
"So, am I responsible for the rain??"
Now she gets furious n says, "Yes you are!!! You never want to take me out and hence such things happen.”
"Think whatever you want I don’t want to convince you and talk to you too".
"Neither do I !!!"
And thus they quarrel and stop talking to each other and their holiday and celebration both gets ruined.
But Why does this happen? Don't they love each other? Yes they do but this happens due to the small time span that they get to share with each other. Don't you think it’s similar to your story? Yes it’s the story of all of us in some way or the other. This scene is in every home where there is a working couple. Sometimes this situation is due to heavy work load which we can’t avoid but sometimes people who run behind money mostly face these situations.
If she is asking to go out is she wrong? No, she isn't. She just needs a change from the daily routine. And if the plan gets cancelled due to rain is he responsible. No he too is not. It’s just that in the daily hectic schedule we don't get time to talk and spend time with each other and then we get frustrated. We get up early in the morning, rush out to office and come home late at night, have dinner, watch TV for some time and/or directly go to sleep. And again the same routine starts.
Is money so important? Should we run behind money and make our family sad. Can we be happy if our family is not happy? Is this life?? No it’s surely not. Then how can we avoid this situation? Firstly stop running behind money. Money can’t buy everything. And secondly this situation can’t be avoided but we can find a solution to it. We just have to take out some time from our schedule for our family. This doesn’t always mean going out and travelling. This means doing work together, helping each other in their work. If the couple is working then both of them are equally tired after coming home from office. So, they can cook together, can have dinner together. Without wasting their valuable time in front of the idiot box they can play indoor as well as outdoor games. We can go out for a walk together hand in hand. And then whenever we get time we can go out for a trip. Small trips can also be refreshing and energizing. And most of all lack of conversation is root cause of all the misunderstandings so, try to talk as much as possible. Share your day to day experiences with your spouse and family. Let them also enjoy the fun.
These are just few tips to have a healthy and happy home environment. Coz family and loved ones always come first. So if they are satisfied then our life will be full of happiness and we will be the richest men on the earth…
