    The pros of traditional outlook!<\/strong><\/p>\n

      • You had no worldly exposure.<\/li>\n
      • You lacked confidence.<\/li>\n
      • Your children yearned for good things in life which you could not afford as the wife stayed back home to look after her family.<\/li>\n
      • You were crushed into meek submission by your chauvinistic husband.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        So what is the path you should take?<\/p>\n

        Do you also face a competition of old traditions vs modern outlook in marriage?<\/p>\n

        You cannot afford to be too traditional as you will be left far behind in this mercenary world. The perception that a woman should stay back to look after her family is completely outmoded in today\u2019s modern world.<\/p>\n

        A wife has all the right to be as successful as her husband. She must be confident and financially independent to make her family financially secure.<\/p>\n

        Women were suppressed for a long time that her new financial independence has made her more aggressive and hostile towards her husband. She demands more rights and often indulges in ego clashes with her husband.<\/p>\n

        Are you one such a wife who fights tit for tat with your husband?<\/p>\n

        You will not enjoy your married life if you do so.<\/p>\n

        Your husband should understand that he no longer can take you for granted. Both should value the contribution of the other and unite to make your marriage work. When you do not take married life seriously, you make big ado about the minor faults of your spouse and think that divorce is the only solution.<\/p>\n

        Am I implying that you have to follow the old tradition and lock your improvement?<\/p>\n

        No, not all!<\/p>\n

        It is very true that you have to be updated in your outlook to meet the challenges you face in your day to day life. So there must be mutual adjustments\u00a0between you to keep up with your changing attitude towards marriage.<\/p>\n

        But old tradition never loses their values. You should never think that it is not applicable to the changed concept of marriage. You should always choose the in between path of becoming adaptable to the modern world and also not losing respect for age old conception of marriage.<\/p>\n

        Whether you follow the old concept of marriage or new concept of marriage does not matter at all! Marriage is always and will always remain a co-existence between two people who unite in love. Love never loses its freshness and always remains the cementing force of marriage.<\/p>\n

        But\u00a0it is\u00a0adjustability, respect and tolerance which make your marriage survive. But your modern outlook makes your marriage unable to withstand the challenges it faces. Your love for each other has become so fickle that you make your spouse an enemy when problems crop up in your married life.<\/p>\n

        Do not be too traditional as you cannot live in this highly competitive world. Do not be too modern as you cannot make your marriage work. Be neutral and enjoy the best of both world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
