Let there be spaces in your togetherness. Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

In Indian society for women to define their space is very difficult, it’s a Patriacal society and even after marriage their bedroom is more of a man’s room. And wife’s dissatisfaction increases. Many couples drift apart slowly. He is more with the guys and she is more with her friends. The romance slowly loses its spark and one day they decide to separate. Take care that you don't drift apart. Be together in all activities as much as possible is the advice you get at this time where as what you need is some breathing space……

High stress of work and society pressures has increased- jealousy, prejudice and judgmental attitude in the society at large. TV programmes and media has major role to play. Couples find it very difficult to cop with this kind of environment.

As they say distance makes the heart go founder………Similarly some space between the couple helps them get closer!!  little time spent on one self contributes not only in boosting self moral but reflects on their relationships as well, it adds to the quality of life. For every individual to grow in all dimensions, that is spiritual emotional and in inter personal relationships analysis and reflecting on day-to-day situations, people their perceptions is a must. So is introspection without it one cannot envisage one’s own growth and how much one has evolved.

One hour out of 24hours on emotional catharsis helps her to resolve her grudges. She can write / maintain her diary. Important is that she is not answerable to any one for this one hour its her own.. this freedom is required and is must for her well being. A happy healthy person only can make others happy.

“Space does not mean separate bedrooms if you sleep in different rooms relationships will drift. Earlier days after 30 yrs of marriage couples in joint families will automatically end up sleeping in separate rooms with their grand children etc.It helped and would strengthen their relationship.
