Individual Responsibility for Happiness in Marriage

In a married life husband and wife can only perform their duties, the happiness of the individual depends on the individual alone.


To understand this better better let us see an example. A wife can cook steaming idli and coconut chutney for her husband for breakfast but if the husband is expecting kushboo idli or Saravana Bhavan chutney no one can help it.





Likewise in his capacity levels if the husband buys a gold bracelet for his wife on her birthday. if the wife expects a diamond or platinum bracelet no one can help her.


Marriage is a complex and dynamic relationship between two individuals who come together to share their lives with each other. While marriage can be a source of great joy and fulfillment, it can also be a source of frustration and disappointment when the expectations of one partner are not met by the other.


It is true that each partner in a marriage has certain duties and responsibilities that they must fulfill. For example, the wife may be responsible for cooking and cleaning, while the husband may be responsible for earning a living and providing for the family. If one partner fails to fulfill their duties, it can cause problems and lead to unhappiness in the marriage.


However, it is also true that each individual is responsible for their own happiness. No matter how much the husband or wife tries to make the other happy, if the individual is not satisfied with themselves or their life, they will not be happy in the marriage.


In this sense, it is important for each partner to have realistic expectations about what the other can provide. Communication is key in this regard, as each partner should be able to express their needs and wants in a constructive and respectful way.


Ultimately each partner has certain duties and responsibilities in the marriage, each individual is also responsible for their own happiness. It is up to each partner to communicate their needs and expectations in a constructive way and to work together to create a fulfilling and happy marriage. So in a married life the individuals concerned can only do there duties, the happiness is individuals responsibility.
