"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

His Final Message to the World: Don’t Give Up on Your Dream”

My father’s brother — our dearest Lalu Uncle — went to be with the Lord in October 2025. He had travelled to Delhi to deliver this TEDx talk, but sadly, he never got the chance. He passed away before he could step onto that stage. If he had delivered this speech, it would have been one of the most inspiring and viral talks of all time. Take just 2 minutes to read through his incredible testimony — a journey of failure, faith, resilience, and destiny. The last speech Abraham Zachariah prepared – to deliver at TEDx I didn’t go to school. I was sent to school. Hence, for 10th standard, marks were very low and I could get admission only for Commerce group, as no one wanted (is 55 years ago) in my home state Kerala. My mother was very upset as my cousins and friends got into Science groups and she pushed me into Commerce Group. I was used to tell everyone that “Useless fellow, useless fellow, useless fellow are in Commerce Group and all the useless ones are in commerce group.” She was...

“When Love Becomes a Language”

 It has been 9 years since I married Rohit and became a part of this beautiful family, and in that time I came to know Amma as an all-rounder.  I remember once asking Appa about the collection of awards in the showcase, and he told me that most of them belonged to Amma. From writing to creative thinking, to receiving “Best Employee” awards at Cochin Refinery.. ( thats wher she worked) —she was always at the top in everything she did. I even came across her handwritten recipe book, filled with recipes for many dishes including doughnuts which was uncommon back then. Every page was written with neat handwriting and exact measurements. Rohit often told me how Saturdays at home were almost like a feast when Amma would prepare a variety of new dishes for the family. Food was her love language and she found joy in serving the family.  Amma had a way of finding cute coincidences. Amma told me soemthig she had figured out. she told that all the daughter in laws of the house....
