Burden of Married-Life



Gavial belonged to a rich and wealthy family; had well settled job, home and an accomplished wife. Both husband and wife were happy with their married-life.

One day, due to some reason Gavial lost his job; however, he found another job but that job was not so good, since then his life began to have problems. A year ago, the husband and wife were living a life of love; now they started to find drawbacks in each other.

Their friends advised them so much but now there was not the same love in their relationship; every time they were immersed in their problems and used to fight by finding drawbacks of each other.

One day, Gavial’s old friend, named Morake, came to meet him who was a psychological doctor. After meeting him, Gavial and his wife got busy in talking with Morake.

While talking, Morake understood that Gavial and his wife were not mutual ties. Then only Morake took a glass of water and asked- Can you both tell me how much this glass weigh?

On this question, Gavial and his wife answered according to their own estimate. Gavial told fifty grams while his wife told eighty grams.

After listening this, Morake said- Well, leave it. Whatever it weighs this doesn’t matter but matters that how long I can keep it on my palm. If I keep it for five minutes then it will matter little but if I keep it regularly for an hour then my hand will start paining and if I keep it for whole day then surely my hand will be numb due to which it will cause much pain.

By listening this Gavial and his wife agreed with Morake.

Morake advised- Problems of married-life are similar, if I think for a few moments about my problem then it will not affect much on my mind but if I continuously think only about that then surely it will cause much distress, either problem will be big or small I will remain tensed and maybe I will become a victim of depression. So it’s better for husband and Wife, by consulting on problems of married-life should find the solutions of those and reduce the burden of mind and live priceless married-life with love and care.

Morake’s advice left an impression on Gavial and his wife. From that onwards, they used to consult and shared opinion to each other; in this way their life again became happy.

Dear friends, Problems arise in everyone’s married-life but it doesn’t mean that you settle those problems in your heart and remain tensed; due to this, it will affect your relation and along with that it could badly affect your health. Husband and wife should together find solutions of their problems and live their valuable married-life happily. Thank You.
