"Beyond the Wedding Bells: Embracing the True Journey of Marriage"


 In today’s world, the meaning of marriage often gets lost amid the grandeur of weddings. Many people focus on creating perfect Instagram moments, like elaborate pre-wedding photoshoots or extravagant reception parties, rather than understanding what marriage truly involves. While it’s important to have beautiful memories, we must remember that marriage is about much more than just a series of perfect pictures.

Take for example Sarah and James, a couple who spent months planning their dream wedding. They had the picturesque venue, the fancy outfits, and the perfect dance at the reception. But after the wedding day was over, they found themselves struggling to adjust to married life. The excitement of the wedding faded, and they were faced with the reality of building a life together. The deep conversations, the small sacrifices, and the shared goals became more important than the celebration they had worked so hard to create. Through these everyday acts of love and patience, their relationship grew stronger.

Marriage is about those quiet moments of connection. It’s like when John and Lisa have a long day at work, but still find time to sit down and talk over dinner. Or when Mark supports Emily in pursuing her dream job, even though it means they’ll have to make some sacrifices. It’s not about grand gestures or perfection, but about the daily commitment to be there for one another, to listen, and to grow together.

Unfortunately, the emphasis on the wedding day often creates a superficial view of marriage. Jessica and Tom had a beautiful wedding, but a year later, they found themselves at odds, unable to communicate through their differences. They realized that their focus had been on the wedding day, and not on building the skills needed for a strong marriage. They had to work hard to understand each other, set common goals, and rebuild their connection.

The truth is, a wedding is just one day, but marriage is a lifelong journey. It’s in the small moments—like when Rachel surprises her husband with his favorite meal after a stressful day, or when David and Maria support each other’s dreams, even when life gets hard—that the beauty of marriage shines through. These quiet, everyday acts of love, respect, and patience are what truly define a successful marriage.

So, let’s shift our focus back to the core of marriage: the commitment to stand by each other, through both the good times and the challenging moments. Let’s celebrate the resilience, the love, and the partnership that build a strong, lasting marriage, not just the celebration of one perfect day. Because, in the end, marriage is about the lifetime of moments that follow the wedding day

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

                Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go?                     While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed  in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart?                   She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
