On the first night of our marriage, just as my husband and I were getting into the mood, there was a loud knock on the door and my aunt-in-law's voice came, "Son, come out."

I quickly got dressed and opened the door. My mother-in-law said smilingly, “Look daughter-in-law, from today your biggest responsibility is to bring a new member to our family as soon as possible. Arun is a little immature, you will have to look after him.”

I nodded smilingly, but I was thinking in my mind, "He is not foolish, but yes, he is a little naïve." Anyway, we took that night's conversation as a joke and time moved on.

Every day a new advice

After a few days of marriage, every member of the family would ask the same question, “When are you giving the good news?” I would laugh it off every time, but gradually this question started seeming burdensome. Arun would also take this matter lightly and say, “Let people say, we have time.”

First time debate

One day, I got fed up and said to Arun, "We should meet a doctor and talk to him. It is getting difficult to hear these questions every day."

Arun said, "Why now? I want us to become a little more stable first."

"What difference does it make to you? You stay out all day, I have to listen to you!" I said angrily.

This was our first argument, and after that day the atmosphere at home became a little tense.

Interference of mother in law

One day my mother-in-law called me aside and said, "Bahu, if there is any problem, tell us openly. We should see a doctor."

I replied directly, “Mummy ji, I am ready, but Arun does not want a child right now.”

This created an uproar in the house. Both mother-in-law and father-in-law tried to convince Arun. Arun clarified his position, "Right now our financial condition is not so strong that we can take the responsibility of a child."

Father in law's wisdom

During the argument between Arun and his mother-in-law, his father-in-law intervened. He said, “Look, son. Arun is not wrong. Today's time is different from our time. Earlier our needs were limited. Today everything is expensive and the expenses are much more. But this does not mean that planning for a child should be postponed indefinitely.”

He explained to Arun, “Son, right decision at the right time is important in life. A child comes with his own destiny, but preparation for him is equally important. Take some time, but don't delay too long.”

Starting in the right direction

Father-in-law's words made both Arun and me think. We understood our priorities and after a year when we felt we were financially and mentally ready, we decided to expand our family.

The arrival of happiness

Two years later, a lovely daughter was born to us. Both of us contributed equally in her upbringing. Mother-in-law, father-in-law, and the entire family supported us, and our daughter brought new happiness to the house.

Conclusion

The wisdom and guidance of the elders in the family take the relationships in the right direction. True relationships are those where everyone understands each other and shares the happiness of life together.

This story is a message that every decision should be taken wisely and with time. This is the real sweetness of life and relationships
