Bread-butter kind of love

Gurnaaz Kaur

Coming together for a lifelong relationship of love and commitment needs a lot of understanding and a little bit adjustment. Adish and Shruti Jain, the newly wedded couple, are ready to give their all to make it a happily ever after.

An arranged meeting

Adish: Actually it was an arranged marriage. We met in January last year and got married on October 5. So, I can say our love story began on January 24 last year and it will continue forever.

Shruti: On 23rd eve, when I was working in office and my mom called me up and asked me to come home early as the next day they had planned to meet a guy. Little did I know I would meet the man of my dreams. The months that followed strengthened our bond and we decided to tie the knot.

The changes that followed

A: It’s been just three months since our marriage and life has changed in some ways. There are more responsibilities, reduced sleeping time, etc.

S: I feel marriage brings a lot of changes. I need to take bath early now, my eating habits are also getting changed and most importantly there are so many responsibilities.

Together means

A: We are like bread and butter.

S: Adish is like oxygen for me without which life is impossible.

Fun time

A: We love to explore new places, visit different eating joints, listen to some nice music, irritate and tease each other.

S: Whenever we get time from our routines, it means lots of cuddling and romance. We just focus on having fun.

Wish it could change

A: Without a doubt her sleeping habits.

S: I wish he never shouts, even if he is angry or whatever may be the reason.

And that’s annoying

A: She cries over everything. Even when we are generally discussing or debating on some topic, she begins to cry.

S: His loud voice. He speaks in such high pitch that it feels like he is angry all the time.

Couple goals

A: I want us to be best friends.

S: To spend quality time together, making beautiful memories and travelling.

Wow factor

A: Nothing can beat her baking skills.

S: I think the best thing about him is the way he gives equal importance to every relation.

To make marriage work

A: It needs a lot of love, trust, time, patience, loyalty and honesty.

S: Understanding each other and being loyal towards the bond is most important.

It’s no secret

A: My understanding says if you want it to be a happy married life, fill it with love, be ready for some compromises and stay committed.

S: The secret to a happy married life is not to keep any secrets from your spouse.

Space is a right

Both: It is important to give space. Everyone wants to feel that freedom; it’s more of a right. One just has to know the limits and not hurt others sentiments in the process.
