What Are Some Common Compromises Found in Indian Marriages?

Despite the fact that many people wish to marry someone they have been in love with for a long time, the vast majority still prefer arranged marriage after they have finished dating and loving someone. In fact, when someone is dating them, many people know that this is only a temporary phase of their lives and that if they want to get married, they will choose an arranged marriage.

 

There are also a lot of people who marry the one they love, but even then, many things change when their relationship status changes from “dating” to “married.”

 

In order to have a successful Indian marriage, individuals typically have to make the following types of sacrifices:

 

1. Passion We all have a few things that we are truly passionate about when we are single, like traveling, adventure, sports, collecting things, etc. however, when individuals get hitched, they think of it as a suggested need that they need to surrender that energy to settle down with that one individual.

 

2. Food is a fairly typical sacrifice that people have to make. After marriage, you may have to adjust to living with someone who eats very differently from you. For instance, you might not eat meat and have to coexist with a vegetarian. If that’s the case, it’s very likely that he or she doesn’t like it when food that isn’t vegetarian is cooked and eaten at home. Therefore, you will eventually have to give up your favorite dish. In a similar vein, if you are from North India and have to move in with someone from South India or the other way around, you will need to adjust the foods you eat each day to meet the needs of the two of you.

 

3. Style of Clothes You might have dressed in a particular way when you were in college and even after that, but once you get married, it is expected of you to look married. Although some may find this absurd, girls will be more likely to identify with this issue than boys will. After you get married, your fashion sense shifts from casual to cool without you even realizing it. In the event that you actually don’t completely accept that it, simply notice your companions who have been hitched for in excess of a couple of months and you will see an adjustment of the manner in which they have been sprucing up after they got hitched.

 

4. Things You Spend Money on Do you remember the expensive bike you bought with EMI or the expensive dress you’ve always wanted to wear that you bought without thinking about it as soon as you got a job? When you get married, this will undoubtedly change. After getting married, you start to feel financially insecure because you can anticipate the responsibilities that are about to come your way. Because of this, it becomes critical for you to save as much money as you can to avoid worries when you need money the most. As a result, smart couples quickly learn to prioritize their expenses in accordance with their income, and it becomes mandatory to stop spending money on things you don’t need as much as you want them to.

 

5. Friendships Even if you and your partner have a good understanding of each other, it is very hard to keep your friendships the same after you get married because your priorities change a lot. There is nothing wrong with a person’s life partner giving more time and importance to their friends than to their husband or wife. It’s fine to visit with old friends from time to time, but you can’t do it every weekend by calling, texting, or going out. It is only fair that you learn to prioritize your partner and put your friends at the bottom of your priority list. If you want your marriage to succeed, you will need to make this sacrifice.

 

6. In most cases, ex-BF/GFs avoid complications by staying in touch with their ex-partners after a breakup, but there are some who simply cannot accept the idea of doing so forever. They continue to hold on to them for reasons only they can comprehend, which only leads to awkwardness and future tensions between them and their partners. Therefore, this is the only kind of sacrifice for which you should be content, and if a couple wants their marriage to succeed, they must make this choice as soon as possible.

 

7. Affinity for Parents and Siblings On the other hand, by the time we start college or work, most of us are used to the idea of being away from our parents and siblings. However, there are still some people who just can’t grow up and accept that their roles in their lives change over time. It’s not wrong to be close to your parents and siblings; however, once a new person enters your life with whom you have promised to spend the rest of your life, it’s critical that you give them the space they deserve and let your parents and siblings know. To make your marriage work, you must make this sacrifice, no matter how hard it is for you.

 

8. Last but not least, in order to adjust to your partner, you must alter your daily routines. No more things lying on the floor and wearing that very night garments for seven days. You cannot simply anticipate that everything will function as it did when you were living alone or with your parents. You need to behave in a responsible manner and ensure that the person living with you does not feel uneasy simply because you are not performing the duties that are expected of them. When you get married, you must immediately make this sacrifice.

 

Do you intend to wed in India? Then be prepared to give these up!
