I wake up every morning next to the person I love, and tell him how lucky I am, to have him in my life. I am with someone who sees my worse, but encourages me to be the best. I laugh with the person I love and have conversations where we have our deepest thoughts.
Irrespective of how much I love all this, I somehow fail at calling My hubby as My best friend. Don't get me wrong, my hubby is my companion, my partner, my soul, my lifeline, my better-half, my nemesis but not my best friend.
In the past 15 years of my marriage, I have realized the idea of a perfect marriage is nothing but a myth, sometimes it means sticking to each other on rough days and sometimes it means giving space for an individual. I am an extrovert, he is an introvert. I love going outdoors while he is snuggled with the T.V indoors. He is calm, steady, more disciplined and a bit shot tempered. While I am creative, roller coaster of emotions, expressive and much more organized. After knowing each other for so long, our relationship has progressed to the next stage. We love each other, we share values, and we share spaces. Many times we try to parent each other, whenever we get the chance to do! He is not the man of words nor does he expresses his feelings generously but his love for me has no bounds. I have always been very expressive in my marriage, planning dinners, gifts, cards, etc. I remember giving him 25 presents on his 25th birthday right after our engagement. For him, all these things are too cliche for a husband to do.
Marriages could exist and thrive successfully without the couple being the best of friends and that is completely ok.
We do end up doing things of our interests separately, but this doesn't mean we are not meant to be together. We also spend time together which is our precious "we time".We hang out for movies, dinners, family gatherings, and much more.
I can have lots of friends in my life but there could be only one him, no one can take his place. I am grateful for the presence of friends in my life, in my heart but they are not emotionally invested in me like my husband. My friends know what I like but he knows why I like and when I like it. He knows all the why's and when's.
Our relationship is much more stronger than friendship which requires more sacrifices and endurance. We share our dreams, hopes, joys, and sorrows together. I believe that husband-wife relation is the strongest relationship in the world. They don't share the blood relation, but enough to fight the battle of life together. Marriages are made in heaven it's true but to flourish it we have to work 24/7 as a team. The time we spend together is awesome. I know we are not a perfect couple, but we are unique.
We are like TOM and JERRY, teasing and fighting, but can't live without each other. At the end of every fight, we forgive each other as if nothing had happened with no grudges. I fall in love all over again with him and keep saying...
"JAB KOI BAAT BIGAD JAYE, YAN KOI MUSHKIL PAD JAYE, TUM DENA SATH MERA..."
I am always thankful for the moment when we accept each other as a traveler for the long journey of life. He does and will continue to fulfill a part of my life that no one else can. Not even in my wildest nightmares, I had ever imagined my life without him. I can go any miles to have him by my side. He is the person much more than a best friend, My best friend is an insufficient title for him.
BEYOND THE POINT, I just wanna say hubby-
My whole world is you .....
Mere Pyar Ki Umar Ho Bas Itni Sanam,
Tere Naam Se Shuru, Tere Naam Par khatam.
