Have you heard of this story about a hen laying golden eggs? For those who haven’t, I am trying to write it down here -
Once, there was a poor farmer in a village. He had a hen that laid one golden egg everyday. For some days, the farmer sold those eggs and became relatively richer. But now, he was tired of taking care of that hen and waiting for each egg day after day. Also, he wanted to become rich quickly. So he decided to rip the hen apart so that he could have all the eggs at one go and become rich overnight. But to his disappointment, when he slit the hen, nothing came out. And now, the hen is also gone!
Now you must be wondering how does it relate to marriage…right?
Its pretty simple…. any marriage is like that hen laying golden eggs in the form of security, companionship, togetherness, fun, intimacy, etc. However, these golden eggs are only an outcome of the care, wfforts and time given to it. Just like that farmer got tired of taking care of that hen, most people get tired of taking due care of their relationships and start taking a ot of things for granted….which is like killing that hen!
In the beginning, every marriage has its rosy days but you gotta nurture it forever if you want it to continue giving those ‘golden eggs’ forever!
I really don’t know how this thing came to my mind, it just clicked or maybe I read something like somehwere, sometime back….I donno…
P.S. – By the way..I am already getting a good response to my new page…and I feel so nice helping (or at least trying to help) those people out

Thanks Richa!
Hey Shaalu…i guess..i will not support this statement of yours too…
Life is totally different from a story….thats why you percieve its gonna behave in the same fashion…..its not going to do that…
The rosy dayz never end…its upto you as in how to keep it..
you are right in the context that you have to make sure..you are doing that…
but wrong in the aspect that you are taken for granted…thats not true…you are not taken for granted..just tthat the other person has become so comfortable in your company that he/she just says it to you.without thinking…thats good..the person has trust in you and he/she will not behave with the others in the same fashion..thats a good sign….
For a successfull relationship …you should not be ..like..he does that..or she does tthat…i dont do like this…this approach is wrong…you are doing something not to show to the other person….but coz you want to do this…and you shouldn’t expect the same out of the other person…thats when you get disappointments…..Seriously…believe me…its true…if you are doing something..you are not doing it for a show off…
In every relationship..both the people are not same..one has to do more compromises than the other one..if nobody’s gonna bend..then the relationship’s gonna end….
Compromises not in the form of sacrifices and stuff..but atleast..take control of the situation when you know things are going worse….and might get worse..if both of them stick to their standpoints…as in i am not saying…stop giving your suggestions and opinions..but do not enforce them on the other person…do not let the suggestions become decisions….
