8 Best Things about Growing Old together

-
I want to grow old with you
I want to be looking in your eyes
I want to be there for you, sharing everything you do
I want to grow old with you



1. Seeing an amazing change happen before your eyes.

From young and clumsy to old and smart — every wrinkle and lived experience is something you get to share with the most important person in your life. I can't wait to say to my husband, "Remember when we were young and hot and so, so stupid? That was the best and the worst. Now pass me my teeth, it's time for breakfast!"

2. Being a grandparent.

If you do have kids, you know that being a parent can be a lot of unappreciated work — not so for grandparents. G-maa and G-papa get to take the kids on fun adventures, spoil them with chocolates, and then return them to their parents at bedtime and go to the movies. Plus, getting nicknamed "Sexy Dadi" and "Hot Dadu" has to be the greatest thing ever.

3. You know everything there is to know about the other person.

That doesn't mean fun surprises have to be a thing of the past, but there's something deeply soothing about knowing someone inside and out, and that's something that only time can bring.

4. Travelling everywhere together.

When you're both retired, you can see the world how it's meant to be seen.

5. Sitting side by side, watching /Netflix series yelling at the TV screen, and drinking hot tea.

6. Fights are more, like, whatever.

7. Encouraging each other to fulfil passions.

8. Never feeling like you're growing old.

Because you get to spend every day with the most special person in the world, you're just enjoying your life to its fullest. Nobody cares how many days have passed when you're with the one you love.
You know you made the right choice.

Arranged marriages are still a common practice in many cultures around the world. While it can be daunting to meet someone for the first time with the intention of getting married, it is important to ask the right questions to get to know the person and see if they are a good match for you. Here are some questions you can ask a boy on your first meeting for an arranged marriage: What is your idea of marriage? This is a broad question that can help you get a sense of his overall values and priorities. What does he see as the purpose of marriage? What are his expectations for a successful marriage? What are your long-term goals? This question can help you assess whether your goals are compatible. For example, if he wants to have a large family and you don't, that could be a major point of contention. What are your hobbies and interests? This question can help you find common ground and see if you have similar interests. It can also be a good way to gauge his personality and lif...

Should your spouse be your best friend?

He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” These are common statements and beliefs about a relationship with our spouse.That they must be our friend, no, best friend — as well as all the other roles a spouse plays in marriage.While I don’t discount that there should be friendship between husband and wife,  having him or her as your best friend will be the death-nail to the marriage. To clarify, I’m referring to best friend here as a primary and/or sole outlet of your relational needs. When you first met your spouse,  ideally  you were both living lives that were fulfilling and interesting (note the emphasis on “ideally”— if you and/or your spouse didn't have a lot going on when you first met, the relationship was already in really big trouble). One reason your spouse was attractive was the life they were living apart from you. The lives you were living before you met we...

The Biggest Communication Problem In Any Relationship

-

George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Picture this: someone is speaking to you, expressing their thoughts carefully for you to understand. You wait for the breaks in the conversation when you think they’ve finished talking, and then you interrupt with your own piece of information or repeat what was just said. “Oh, I know just how you feel,” you say, or “I had the same thing happen to me. Let me tell you about it!” You fail to listen. You create your own ideas. You miss the message and the opportunity to understand. It’s about your agenda, not theirs. Have you ever experienced this?  Often, you think you’ve understood what was said, but the reality is that you spent the whole time formulating a reply and forgot to actually listen. Arguably, listening is the most difficult skill in communication, and we’re getting worse at it. What We Listen Vs. What We Understand There is a lag time between listening ...
