When I got married, the relationship between me and my husband was like that of an ordinary couple. We had love and understanding, and the feeling that God had chosen the right person for me. Over time, I realized that my husband's behaviour towards me had become a little dry. Whenever I needed something, and I asked him, his answer would be, "Don't ask me, ask Mom."
Initially, I was hesitant to ask my mother, but gradually I understood that I would have to talk to her about my needs. Initially, I had to listen to her angry words, but with time I understood which things she would say yes to and which she would say no to. Gradually I started getting her approval, and my relationship with her became cordial.
During this time, I also noticed that my husband only gets close to me for his need of physical pleasure. This started bothering me. One day I told to my sister. She advised me not to let him get close to me so easily. I listened to her and kept my husband away from me.
After a month, I noticed that her temperament started to get irritable. One day we fought, and Mother took my side. This incident shocked me. My husband talked to me that night and told me that he had deliberately planned to bring me closer to my mother. He said that if he had agreed to everything I said from the beginning, then perhaps Mother and I would not have had a good relationship.
His words touched me deeply. I felt guilty for my misunderstanding and my love for him grew even more. Today we have been married for 5 years. My mother-in-law and I have a friendly relationship, and the credit for this goes to my husband's understanding.
Truly, a sasural can be a paradise if the husband is understanding and the daughters-in-law respect the decisions of their in-laws and husband. But sadly, many girls these days do not understand this.
