1) Monetary Decisions – The couple is done doing their part once they get the families to talk. It is, in the end, the families who spend on everything. So these decisions should lie completely with the families only. Interfering in monetary conversations is one such thing that creates a bad barrier in a relationship. Nobody likes it when their families spend a lot. So it tends to create a difference of opinion in a couple. To avoid it, it is better to stay out of such discussions.
2) Give and Take Talks – Indian marriages contain a lot of gives and takes. What is to be given to the groom’s family, what is to be given to the bride’s family, or what is to be taken from them, is a decision that elders should indulge in. Involving the couple does not do anything, but create a rift between them.
3) Arrangements – It is the most special day for the couple. The arrangements to be done for family and friends, and for the events to take place, should not include the couple. The couple should do nothing but enjoy themselves and let this time seep in. Unnecessary tiredness is not something they should sign up for.
4) The How of Every Discussion – How is this to be done? How is that to be done? How will this be managed? And all of that.
When we talk of marriage, there are a lot of hows that arise. The setup of those should be done by the families. The bride and groom should stay out of those discussions, as it will unnecessarily burden them.
All things said and done, marriage is the most beautiful and memorable phase for a couple. This is the time when a couple should not think of anything else but enjoying themselves and spending time with each other. Families are there to take all the stress and make things perfect. We should let them do things their way. Enjoying your marriage is important. It is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You don’t get to live it again.
