Marriage a relationship of freedom








Last evening as I finished my workout saw a message on my mobile “ Please don’t message anything as I am on leave and my wife might see them”

 The message was from one of my investors whom I send all Market updates or sometimes light jokes. He is one of the many in my group of investors. Surprised by the message I called him and asked what was it all about ? He replied” Look my wife doesn’t like any sort of messages from any woman and I want peace in life”.

 Going by his reply I removed him from the group and started driving back home. Many thoughts started to cross my mind. “ Is he a caged parrot? Why is his wife so insecure? Does marriage means you lose your own identity? You only are a husband or a wife ?”

 Later at night going into my past I realised “ oh even I was same. How my hubby would have coped up with me all those years?” Yes years back I would want the details of all he did throughout the day. Whom did he meet? Where did he go? Checking his mobile always for if he is texting some woman

 Not realising that in this entire process I was killing my identity too. My life was always revolving around his activities. Unnecessary suspicions and in process killing my own confidence. My life had become hell with imaginary thoughts and I was passing on same vibrations to him. Was to an extent that if he compliments a woman, unknowingly I shall start hating her

 But then God was kind to me. I met a very beautiful soul. She over a period of months changed my entire thinking. She said “ Marriage is all about standing with each other at time of happiness or crises. It isn’t about to own a person or remote control your partner”

 Isn’t that true? Why we woman want entire freedom for ourselves but keep a tab on our spouse for every breath he takes?  If some man will compliment me I will feel he is a Gentleman but if my hubby will do the same he is a flirt

 I am a 360 degree change person now. No more frantic calling to check on him. He goes out on his own adventure trips with his gang. No mobile checking. ...... absolutely nothing. But this change should come from inside. Not that I do all this but emotionally breaking inside. It is difficult to do it but when one goes through the process and comes out free soul life becomes very beautiful

 The problem somewhere lies in society. We are told possessiveness goes hand in hand with love. If you marry someone then you only belong to that person. We so easily fall in the trap of controlling the other person in name of care & love

 Love & Marriage isn’t about keeping the partner in a locker. It is all about understanding each other’s emotions. It is impossible for any human to not to love or think of another person throughout his or her married life. And what is wrong in that? There can be temporary attractions. The same can culminate into short term affair. But trust me as long as Marriage is Happy and strong these events pass away

 There are chemical reactions which might lead a person to get attracted to someone else. But the faster they happen, even more faster they die down.

 I had two choices. One to be a typical wife nagging and checking on my hubby. Other to just let him enjoy his life. Trust me Second one was game changer for our relationship. As we both started to enjoy  with our own group of friends we came more close to each other. Yes there would be periods when he or me might end up in a short flick with someone else. But how does that matter Coz our relationship has become too strong to be broken. We are best friends to each other

 Now you might feel “ what if your spouse finds someone else, with freedom he enjoys and walk our?” My simple answer is can you stop anyone, even if you keep thousands control. If he really loves you he won’t irrespevtive of any attractions. I have seen partners walking out of marriage in most controlled relationships too.

 Let your partner enjoy life. In me & my hubby language “ शादी तो की है कोई फाँसी थोड़ी लगाई है”
Love is all about enjoying your partner happiness. But that doesn’t mean that the happiness should only be from you. It can be anyone. Enjoy his freedom. Enjoy his happiness. Let him live his life so that you can live yours too. And then experience the true life of togetherness

 I know many will not agree with my views and might call me ..... any names. But this is my experience and I just wanted to share
Do give it a thought.



On a lighter note , Make your wife read it

    Renuka, this is true till mutual understandig and space but sometime ego and hate can use this as tool to show the mirror to partner.Thats why in our hindu philosophy its called विवेक love , trust and positive acceptance will always help to built relation. Happy Valentine's day

    Oh yes.. I agree with you but with a caveat that the marriage is between the two compatible partners. However,despite compatibility the females tend to be more insecure in our society as men can get away with impunity for many things for which if a woman does, she is most likely to face the adversity.. However,I liked the way you have shared your experience & I agree with you..

Stay Invested with Indian Equities.

Let me start with my own start with equity and why I have most of my investments in Equity and have a full financial freedom, choice to stop working any day and a good corpus for my family. It was2001 and I was blessed with a boy.  Grandfather gifted a good amount to him. I invested half in RBI bonds and half in Indian Equity. Post 7 years. 10 lacs with RBI Bonds accumulated to 15 lacs , while equity fund made it to 70 lacs( thanks to that bull run of 2004). It wast that day and I have not invested a penny in fixed deposit. It has been equity all the way.  I always stay invested, continue with my sip, add more to corrections, increase SIp when corrections are major and show patience when markets consolidate and goes through time correction  Many Investors who have made good gains in Indian Equity are thinking of booking profits and may be trying to re enter on corrections or investing in other asset class. Wealth is created by staying invested and enjoying the power of co...

In Monopoly, your goal is to buy properties, build houses and hotels, and collect rent from other players. It's all about generating passive inc...

Sanjay Leela Bhansali distorting history

Mr Sanjay Leela Bhansali if I make a movie a decade later showing this accomplished director was a drug addict and used to beat his co actors on sets of course with a disclaimer that  this movie is a work of art and changes have been made to characters but use the name Sanjay Leela Bhansali How will you feel? Sanjay Leela Bhansali was born in the year 1963 in Mumbai. He was a student of Film and television Institute of India, from where he was thrown out after a spat with the institute’s director.  Bhansali is also the only filmmaker who couldn’t be bothered with authenticity, accuracy and other such yardsticks when it comes to creating cinema. Devdas He is the only filmmaker who could not only take Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s much-loved parable  Devdas  and give it a saas-bahu serial makeover in the name of creative license. After all, in the dozen odd adaptations of the novel no one could come with the idea of putting Chandramukhi and Paro in t...
