I have got relationship advice from a few people which was worth following.

When I was just about to get married my mother said: “ A woman can tolerate and adjust with any kinda person provided he is not an adulterer”. She also told me to be patient and raise objections without raising the voice. “ If there is a situation when there is a threat to your life or he tortures you mentally or physically, don't die for heaven's sake. I am here to take care of you.” She said.

She is not the like the mothers of 18th or 19th century who considered their burden is over the moment she gets her daughter married off to a guy. In any circumstance, she asked me not to lose confidence. Fortunately, my hubby is not a person who would cheat me for another woman. He is a teetotaler and a strict vegan too.

Another important advice I got is from one of my wisest friends. Once I visited her home for a dance practice which we were supposed to perform during the first week of March. I was having informal chitchat with her when she spilt the beans of the secret of a successful married life.

Never have expectations on your spouse. Never expect anyone to act the way you want. If your spouse shares everything with you, consider yourself as a blessed one. Otherwise, go on with your life. Expectations will kill you. Be ready to forgive people and give without expecting anything in return. How wise she is! These are the things that resonate in my mind whenever I have to make important decisions in my life.

These words hold good for any relationship. Anyone can follow this and be happy. My advice to people is:

1. Never blame yourself for all the mistakes that happen. It might happen that the other person is at fault and doesn't want to put the blame on them. In turn, they crucify you to prove themselves better.

2. Married life or friendship is never a competition. Help each other to grow better.

3. If your partner points out your mistake, cultivate the attitude of accepting it. Even if you deny it, sit down and think who is at fault. If you are wrong try to rectify the mistake.

4. Never Hit the roof for petty things. Trivia can cost your beautiful married life.
