Now I have already mentioned in my topic what I am going to speak about in this blog.
Gone are the days when every Indian family were a joint family in its most traditional sense.
Today families are joint but not in the traditional way.
For example , today there are families where the in laws , parents and the couple may reside in the same apartment but in different flats.
or
Many families stay in the same colony or society with all in laws and parents and the couple . They look after each other but they also enjoy their couple privacy.
Now with passing time, this has become an essential need for many couples to enjoy their privacy even from their own parents. After you are adult and you have got married its really essential to enjoy your own way of leading life. But that does not mean that you are not going to look after your parents. No that is not what I mean to say. We have to take responsibilities of our parents and our in laws but at the same time we need to maintain the couple privacy.
This actually helps in maintaining a healthy way of managing relationships. This has long been started in many other countries but in India the traditional form of joint family still exits and many problems arises due to the same.
We need to understand that time has changed and the need and wants and the ways of life has changed for everyone. So in this form of a lifestyle we need to accept little changes in our way of maintaining relationships also.
There are so many bride-killing cases in our country going on still now. Why so??
They are all coming from joint families where the in laws kill their daughter-in-laws . But such is not the case when the in laws and the couple stay at a distance.
Now gone are the days when staying together meant good relationship. I think staying away from the in-laws as well as the parents can also bind us to make a good family. This actually strengthens the bond.
When you are away from your parents or in-laws and then meet after some days , the attraction is much more than staying together. This is because we get bored with each other after staying together for long.
But we can make arrangements for our parents like doctors, medicine, grocery, maids, vacation-planning etc.
In this way, the in-laws or parents get to bond well with the son and the daughter-in-law.
Although I believe in this new concept of bonding but many of you who will read this blog would not like the idea. But trust me, living at a distance from your parents or in-laws doesn't kill the bond between the family.
It actually strengthens the bond and helps to lead a healthy life. BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF OUR PARENTS AND IN-LAWS IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE….NOW…!!THATS A MUST….
