Opposites Attract

"Like poles repel, opposite poles attract each other" is true not only for magnets but also in human relationships. Most of the men or women feel attracted towards their opposite sex when there is a lot of difference in taste and habits. It is due to the attraction towards certain traits that they wish to possess but don't possess. Few people like to talk or walk their life as the other people do, but would not be able to due to various conditions or situations. It excites them to see that other people do, which they love. However, some of the couples that are attracted towards few characteristics of the other person initially may start feeling aversion towards each other.

In today's world, you can see lots of marriages between people from different backgrounds, cultures and religions. This is mainly due to the attraction towards each other's views, thinking, style of living, and many other factors. Of course, heart filled with love is the leader of the list of attraction. However, if their understanding is just superficial, then life becomes hell with problems, as they would not only have lot of differences in the way of leading life, but also dealing with life totally.

Divorce rate is increasing due to the lack of true understanding in the relationship apart from the lack of responsibility to mend the disturbed relationship. In order to maintain the marriage or relationship, it would be good if you can practice few tips:

1. Respect each other's privacy apart from the views and opinions.
2. Give freedom to do what one likes.
3. Avoid nagging
4. Sit and sort out the differences, if you are sure that these differences are troublemakers in the relationship.
5. Listen patiently, when one person talks, even if it really does not make sense. Active listening pays off, as you can understand the tone & inner meaning of the words along with the anxiety behind them, than just the words.
6. Strike a balance between the personal and professional life to maintain a healthy relationship.
7. Ego, anger, arguments, inferiority or superiority complex and less self-control are main enemies of a relationship.

Life is like a train track, in which both husband and wife are like two sides of the track. Even though, they don't meet, they enable the train to run on them. Therefore, in spite of all the differences, you should just know to tolerate and live with each other.
