In fact, it seems less a coincidence and more a deliberate move on their part. Probably that is how a husband and wife were expected to behave in the ‘60s – to project a blank face and suppress any expression of mutual admiration or marital bliss. I cannot recall seeing my parents hugging each other or even expressing their love through words, like the parents of my friends did. Of course sometimes I found it unusual, even strange, but eventually I accepted that this is how my parents were – reticent and inexpressive....

Jim and Pam, Monica and Chandler, Marshal and Lily, the list goes on. If you had to endure another obnoxious couple being all over each other, you think you just might go nuts. You’ve tried online dating, the blind dates, and the setups but it constantly feels like nobody’s perfect. Nobody really gets you. But the question is, do you get you? There’s some work to be done before you go out looking for true love....

To be honest, it’s really not that hard. Just be nice and go out to have fries. That just very well may be all it takes to win someone over. Oh and don’t cheat. And don’t yell. And definitely don’t call her friend fat. Okay, maybe a list is needed. Now that your ten-second attention span has been adequately grabbed and you’re seriously trying to figure out things every woman wants in a man, let’s get right into it....

I had married rich, and not just any rich, but a let’s fly to Europe for the weekend getaway kinda rich. How did I get here? Simple – I spent all my energy and mind to woo my wife – a princess in every sense of the word. Today, I am her arm candy at all parties where I entertain her friends with wit, educate relatives with wisdom, and enthral with a charm that took 31 years to perfect....

Do men really like those high heels and red lipsticks, or are they all for that natural look? Do they like a girl who jokes around just like the guys do, or are men looking for someone who is always donning Gucci and carrying the best Michael Kors bags? Though they’re supposed to be the uncomplicated gender, when it comes to what they want from a woman, there are all sorts of complications at play....

When you started off with your guy with his great hair and a smooth tongue, it must have been ecstatic. You start to know him better, his favourite cuisine and the kind of people he hangs out with and amazingly, he never once mentions the name of one female friend. Weird? Maybe not. Until six months in the relationship and still no mention of a female friend. You might think it is a weird thing to even worry about but a man having no female friends....

They start talking about it with no warning and start dissecting it, and you sitting beside them think, “Oh God, why is this happening to me again! ARGHHH.” You may even hate the fact that they give so much importance to something which is non-existent.

We do see some patterns in terms of expectations from each gender. Men, for example, value appearances slightly more than women, and also place significant weightage on age and the location of the prospective bride....

So he doesn’t involve you in any major decision-making. Your world revolves around his, but he barely needs your opinion or advice in his. He always tries to show you the right way of doing something because your way is never good enough for him. If these things sound all too familiar, it means that you might be in a comfortable but deeply disrespectful marriage. You may not realize it all the time but what we mentioned above are some of the classic examples of belittling in a relationship....

Taking the leap of love to cross religious boundaries Dina was like every other nervous bride-to-be. After years of a will-they-won’t-they romance, the dream seemed within reach. But with the joy was mixed with questions – will she fit in the new culture? Will the family truly accept her? Will her husband-to-be expect her to change? She brushed these aside thinking they were just apprehensions of an anxious mind. After all, Akshey had never asked her to be any different from who she is....
