In a marriage, the husband and wife often
make the mistake of expecting their partner to
come up to their expectations from the first day.
They ignore the need to give time to each other to
adjust, while it is well known that nothing
happens before its stipulated time. It is not possible
in this world to find today what you are not
destined to find until tomorrow.
When a man and a woman come together in
marriage and set up a home, it is an entirely new
experience. They would naturally want to learn
about one another, and come up to each other ’s
expectations. This begins from the first day itself.
Both of them should help each other in this, and
refrain from any such behaviour as would disrupt
this process. The policy of ‘waiting’ should aid
this natural development, and thus allow it to
grow unhampered, until it reaches its culmination
point. This principle relates to all great successes.
And this same principle applies to a husband as
well as a wife. It is only after waiting that one
receives what one is waiting for. This is a Law of
Nature, and no law is greater in this world than
the Law of Nature.
