Physically close yet distant!

‘Marriage’, love or arranged, heterosexual or homosexual irrespective of its nature and type includes people getting together with an intent of staying together for a long time

It is a two way partnership in which both partners expect companionship from their each other. Both of them enter into this sacred bond with a thought of sharing their lives, their happiness and their sadness. No one likes and expects to feel like a lonely in marriage.

In today’s day and age, people are running after so many things. People are so busy chasing success, fame and money that they often forget their lives are entwined with someone else’s. Even after marriage people forget that the main reason that they got married has been fading away because they are so busy chasing that something which they think it can bring them happiness and  satisfaction.

We have our deadlines to meet at our job. We need money to secure our future and what can we say about social media hovering like a cloud over us all the time which blinds us to see that the real happiness right in front of our eyes and instead compels us to find the happiness on screen, ignoring what we have in front of us!

Now instead of giving a hug to your loved one or having a laugh with someone, people will instead watch funny videos on YouTube. Even when there is someone already sitting in front of you desperately waiting for you to share something about your day or your life people would rather just update their WhatsApp or Facebook status.

We hear of a number of cases each day in which two bodies in the same room even after being so close they are so far away from each other. The partner who is denied of such attention and affection often finds comfort in ways which won’t be socially acceptable. Following such episodes could lead to loneliness which might cause a person to in unfaithful activities or involve himself or herself excessively at work or spirituality with an attempt of finding some solace.

Keeping someone happy in a relationship is not very complicated. And it is not difficult. One should only need to appreciate the value of their better half and give them attention and affection they deserve so that both partners can lead a happy life. It’s not an obligation to talk, to share, to share a laugh with someone you married. It’s the lifestyle people choose when they decide to get married.

Certain things such as sharing about your day and asking about the same from your partner, having dinner together and watching television together can prevent this thing from happening as it will make the partner feel more valuable part of your life. Hence making the bond even stronger.

And still if people are facing trouble interacting with their partners then one must consult counselor or psychologist for help.
