Five Reasons to have a arranged marriage

1.Full family support:
For most people in India, marriage is like a family affair.Compatibility of social status, family beliefs all happen here allowing both the parties to come together for a lifetime.

2.Understanding is inevitable:
An arranged marriage is performed only after both the parties mutually decide to go ahead with the union. The process therefore involves understanding each other’s cultural interests apart from individual views and opinions about life in general.

3.Financial security:
Unlike a love marriage where financial security of the groom is not always a priority, in an arranged marriage, it is imperative that the bride’s family ensure that their would-be son-in-law is career-oriented and has a steady flow of income

4.Mystery element: Since an arranged marriage is negotiated by the parents, love happens in due course of time. And because the two people involved are more or less strangers to each other, it leaves them with an element of mystery.

5.Dating opportunity: Once the alliance is arranged, the boy and girl are officially allowed to meet and know more about each other. Fun is when the couple is given an opportunity to date with the consent of both the families.

Importance of Mehndi in Indian Weddings

Indian marriages are known for their many rituals. In fact, the beauty of Indian weddings comes forth in the numerous traditions that are associated with the special celebration. The day of marriage being the most important day in one's life. Infact one whole ceremony dedicated to its celebration popularly known as "Mehndi Ki Raat". Indian marriages are incomplete without dance, music and lots of laughter.

It is a common belief that the darker the color the mehndi leaves on the hands on a bride, the more will she be loved by her husband and mother-in-law. However, the significance of applying mehndi during weddings is not restricted just to sentiments and beliefs. Although these beliefs make the application of mehndi a much anticipated and charming tradition, the actual reason is of much deeper significance.

Madhuri Dixit’s husband is the happiest man on earth :Arshad Warsi

Bollywood Actor Arshad Warsi, who has shared the screen with actor Madhuri Dixit for the first time in Dedh Ishqiya, believes the actor’s husband, Dr Shriram Nene, is the happiest man on earth to have Dixit as his life partner.

Arshad is also bowled over Madhuri’s professionalism and her happy-go-lucky nature. “I think Dr Nene is the happiest man on earth because Madhuri is absolutely divine,” Warsi said at the DVD launch of his last release Jolly LLB.

Dixit married US-based cardiovascular surgeon Dr Nene in 1999 and shifted to US. Her family then moved to India again in 2011, and she is now busy reviving her Bollywood career.

“She is beautiful and lovely. She is a thorough professional and always wears a smile on her face. She is a very positive person on the set … a great person to work with. She is a phenomenal actor,” said Warsi, praising his co-actor. The actor admits that working with Dixit in Dedh Ishqiya has been a pleasure.

Dedh Ishqiya, a sequel to the 2010 black comedy Ishqiya, is directed by Abhishek Chaubey and also features Naseeruddin Shah and Huma Qureshi.


In the prequel, Warsi played a rugged and rough character Babban. It has been Warsi’s favourite character, but he says he would rather be remembered as a good actor over one character..

Marriage and Religion



Marriage

Marriage is the union of two different surnames, in friendship and in love, in order to continue the posterity of the former sages, and to furnish those who shall preside at the sacrifices to heaven and earth, at those in the ancestral temple, and at those at the altars to the spirits of the land and grain.
—Confucius

The anthropological handbook Notes and Queries (1951) defined marriage as "a union between a man and a woman such that children born to the woman are the recognized legitimate offspring of both partners." In recognition of a practice by the Nuer of Sudan allowing women to act as a husband in certain circumstances, Kathleen Gough suggested modifying this to "a woman and one or more other persons."

Marriage and Religion

Hinduism sees marriage as a sacred duty that entails both religious and social obligations. Old Hindu literature in Sanskrit gives many different types of marriages and their categorization ranging from "Gandharva Vivaha" (instant marriage by mutual consent of participants only, without any need for even a single third person as witness) to normal (present day) marriages, to "Rakshasa Vivaha" ("demoniac" marriage, performed by abduction of one participant by the other participant, usually, but not always, with the help of other persons). In India and generally in South Asia, arranged marriages, the spouse's parents or an older family member choose the partner, are still predominant in comparison with so called love marriages until nowadays. The Hindu Widow's Remarriage Act 1856 empowers a Hindu widow to remarry.

Sati, the practice of a widow immolating herself on her husband's funeral pyre, was officially outlawed by India's British rulers in 1829. The last sati incident allegedly occured in Rajasthan in 1987 when 18-year-old Roop Kanwar allegedly committed sati.A court order ruled in 2004 that no such incident had occurred and acquitted all accused.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” ― Dr. Seuss


A better marriage is possible! We believe that, with the right information and a mutual commitment to success, even the most unhealthy relationships can be healed. 

They say forgiveness is one of the most difficult things to give, even in married couples. It calls for humility, understanding, acceptance, and even pride. Very often, it's the pride that hinders people to forgive and forget the hurts from the past. Forgiveness has 2 parts - letting go and moving on. It's not enough to say that you have forgiven your partner, but then, deep inside you, you're still holding on and dwelling on the misgivings. Forgiveness could only be completed once you have learned to move on and forget the misgivings. In a marriage counseling session, you will learn why it's difficult to forgive.


Lack of understanding

The aggrieved spouse cannot understand the reason for hurting. It may be petty stuff like forgetting to pick up the clothes from the dry cleaner to the most serious ones, like say, an affair. There are many reasons why people get hurt and it can happen any time. The sad thing is if you cannot understand why your spouse has hurt your feelings because of lack of open communication.


“A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” 
― Dave Meurer
