I came across to this beautiful story.
A must read to all who are in relationship.
Though I know not much of what a relationship is, but Love is wonderful.
Love may be wonderful, but when Love between two ceases, Hatred will arise.
Hatred arises because of Love. Agree?
Why?
Because, we couldn't love and have the one we love for ourselves. So we hate.
Time heals for sure.
Always remember the happy moments you shared with your loved ones.
Life is too short to waste.
So, appreciate always everyone whom you think is important.


Piya married Hitesh this day.
At the end of the wedding party, Piya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook with Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother:
"Piya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had."

Piya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made.

This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Piya

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Piya got pregnant

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted

.... and so on...

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing over trivial things.
They didn't talk much.
They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...

One day Piya talked to her Mother:

"Mom, we can't stand it anymore.
We agree to divorce.
I can't imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!"

Mother:

"Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a poor marriage."

Piya thought it was true.
So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record.
She looked, and looked, and looked.
Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind.
Her eyes were then filled with tears.
She left and went home.
When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce.

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Piya.

She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record:
"This is the day I notice how much I've loved you throughout all these years. How much happiness you've brought me."

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.

"Life is about correcting mistakes."

Secret recipes to a healthy relationship :

1. Always be honest with your partner about everything. Only with honesty, will the relationship work. "If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything."-Mark Twain

2. Remember, no one in this world is perfect. Learn to accept both strengths and flaws of your partner. " When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself." Deepak Chopra

3. It is always good to spend more time talking. As it helps to strengthen the bond between you and your partner. "Someone to tell it to is one of the fundamental needs of human beings." -Miles Franklin

4. Give yourself sufficient time to think over what you want to tell your partner when you are angry or bad mood. Many times, you end up saying things you don't mean to. Words you choose, the way you speak are the the main determination of your relationship. Either stays or an end. "Trouble is part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough." Dinah Shore

5. Never forget to compliment your partner for even the smallest things he/she did for you. I believe everyone loves to feel appreciated. "Little kindness and courtesies are so important. In relationships, the little things are the big things." Stephen R. Covey

6. Apologize. Doesn't matter whose fault it is. When you apologize, it is not that you are weak or afraid, but rather, he/she is just that important to you that you only want happy moments in both your lives. "Apology is a lovely perfume; it can transform the clumsiest moment into a gracious gift."-Margaret Lee Runbeck

7. Forget not to stay intimate and close always. “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”-Joseph F. Newton

8. Never assume! If something turned out wrong, always ask before you judge. "Assumptions are the termites of relationships."-
Henry Winkler


"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something. They're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." -Anthony Robbins
