Womanhood arrives with loads of baggages – the burden to
act perfect, more responsible, disciplined, well-behaved, organized, modest, pocket-conscious
and to carry all the pristine qualities one would associate with a “lady”. This
idea of acting “perfect” drives us away from the basics life teaches us when we
are born; acting free, letting things be and prioritizing happiness over
everything else. Men, as the breed is famous for, appreciates all these
qualities from a distance. They would surely not want any of the side-effects
of being a “lady” come an inch close to them. This clash between ‘to-be' or 'not-to-be' perfect is what gives way to the infamous gap amidst a couple.
At times, the answers to the most tough questions or
challenges life imposes on us is letting things be and being a mere spectator,
waiting for the time to pass. You might never know how slowing it down or
taking things easy could give a fresh air to breathe not just to the other
partner but also to the relationship. Bringing back the warmth in a relation or
rekindling the yesteryears’ romance wouldn’t remain a challenge you could only pray
your way out of.
I remember a friend getting appalled by her husband’s
attitude of not talking to her when he was back from work, despite her poking
him a lot about the same. The answer she found to this problem was as simple as
spelling this word out. She stopped poking him whenever he was back from work
and waited for him to initiate discussions. Talking at his own convenience gave
her husband immense relief as he could drive the conversation as per his choice
and not as per his wife’s curiosity. Things just kept getting better thence for
them. She would cook food, play soothing music and scent the house with the
aroma he liked. Upon his return, she would serve him with a smile and give him
the time he required to get himself out of the environment he has been spending
his entire day in. From this time on, I never heard her cribbing about her
husband’s ignorance or his being unromantic.
That’s how she found her way back to romance and a brand
new, rekindled relationship, which had a lot of love, care and breathing space for each other. That's how they could bring the touch they were missing back. Taking things easy could do wonders we never had
any idea about!
