1. THE FIRST YEAR IS BIRYANI
Ah, that first year. Life is all botis and Aloos guys! Sure, there are a few surprise ilaychis in your mouth here and there but you’re still eating biryani and really what’s ilaychi but a natural mouth freshener!
2. THE SECOND YEAR IS TEENDAY
Quite a drop ain’t it? Unfortunately, the highest highs are mostly followed by the lowest lows. This is when you realize your Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie are just Bashir and Zulekha. The botis and aloos now are nothing but soggy sagging teenday. The good news is from here on your married life settles down for good and the rest is khichri, I mean History!
3. FORGIVE AND FORGET
Wives, please FORGIVE your husbands – for missing that important dinner, for staying out late with friends or for giving a bateesi smile to the pretty receptionist. Husbands FORGET your wives will ever forgive you!
4. LET IT OUT, LET IT GO
There’s nothing worse in marriages then letting arguments linger. Bang and Shout wave a bailan or accidentally wash your partner’s whites with red socks. Do what you need to but Let It Out. Then let it Go!
5. ‘A’ IS FOR APOLOGISE
Yup, a simple apology goes a long way. Allllllllll the way till your next argument. So stay Safe, say Sorry Husbands!
Wives: apologize
[uh-pol-uh-jahyz]
verb, a·pol·o·gized, a·pol·o·giz·ing.
Definition: to offer an apology or excuse for some fault, insult, failure, or injury.
6. COMPARISON IS CATASTROPHIC
Never ever compare your married life to another’s. It will kill the joy of your unique relationship. There’s no good in staring enviously at photos hashtag #CoupleGoals when all you can see in yours are a couple of #GolMatols!
7. GROW ‘AS’ ONE NOT ‘INTO’ ONE
Yes, there’s a difference. The “Do Jism Aik Jaan” concept needs to Die! (And never come back in punar janam). The strength of a relationship is not determined by similarities but being comfortable with the differences. Let your partner’s MINDS also grow, not just their TONDS!
8. ‘A’ IS ALSO FOR APPRECIATION
and Apple Products. If there’s any relationship that requires appreciation it’s marriage. Words, hugs, iPhones, all ok! The thing is, building a life together is hard work. In the midst of figuring out finances, careers, family ties and raising kids, nothing works like magic than a few words of appreciation! Thank you dear for taking out the trash, Thank you janu for making kaddu again, Thank you, honey, for remembering to put the soiled diaper in the bin (and not under the bed) this time!
You get the gist!
So good people, what are you waiting for? Wave your wands and make the magic happen. Meanwhile, I’ll be using mine to pick husband’s clothes from the floor. AGAIN. 8 years and counting.
