Yes, of course if you are really going to work at it .The initial part of a relationship is always very interesting and extremely joyous.

You won’t be able to realize the shortcomings of your partner during that period. According to researchers, this fairy tale might exist for about one and half years.

Then both will start living in reality and will be able to understand the flaws of the partner.

Lust rules the first one and half year of your life. Thereafter you need to start loving your partner. You have to accept him/her as he/she is and move on. You should learn to sacrifice for your partner. You should forgive and forget his/her mistakes.

Please remember your spouse is the one who is going to travel along with you in life’s journey through thick and thin to the last. Your spouse should be your best friend who should last till the end.


I have seen some couples having the spark of love between them till the end. They are really great and lucky.

What else can make you happy when you have someone who is there always for you to love and care for?

Preaching is always easy but to follow the good qualities in daily life is not that easy. You need to have a strong and mature mind to forgive the mistakes of others. Forgiving is a powerful tool which really helps to save a marriage, a love relationship, a partnership in a business, a friendship and many other relationships.

Are we willing and ready to forgive those who make mistakes and affect our happiness or progress in life? No, we are not at all ready to forgive. On the other hand, we often criticize their mistakes and destroy the relationships. It does not mean that we never forgive anybody.

We do forgive our children whatever mistakes they commit. Why is it possible for us to forgive the bigger mistakes of our children while we cannot forgive even the ordinary mistakes of others? It is because we consider our children as part of our body and soul. We are ready with excuses to forgive ourselves very easily even if we make great mistakes in our lives. Similarly, we can forgive our children, as they are a part of us.

We started to forgive our children when they slapped our cheeks with a shining smile when they were infants. We became used to forgive our children from that stage onwards.

The surprising fact is that we cannot forgive our spouses as we do our children. After all the spouse is the one whom we unite with body and soul. The spouse is the one who is going to be with us through thick and thin until the end of our life. Yet how many of us can forgive the better halves if they commit serious mistakes?

I shall put it in a very simple way now. You need abundant love with somebody to forgive him/her. Now my question is why many persons cannot forgive their spouses? Don’t they have real love in them? Or is it just the chemistry of lust only works between them? I will leave it to you to answer.



Let us begin our sincere love with the spouse, extend it with our children, parents, relatives, friends, others, animals and the Universe. Life will be more peaceful, joyous and meaningful then. Remember forgiving is the best giving.
