Love Maps: To Know You Is to Love You - Relationship Wellness | Baely Have you and your partner ever shared your fears or dreams? Do you also find yourself getting surprised at the things your partner enjoys as hobbies or what guilty pleasures they engage in?

Getting married at an age when you are confused about your career and struggling to make a living, cannot be an easy journey. But having a partner who is supportive and loving makes it a beautiful experience. This story is of Sheeba and Murali who got married when they were 21 years old and young in love; their companionship became the strength they needed to grow in life.

Sheeba currently works in the hospitality sector while Murali is involved in the food packaging business. They both are 47 years old and currently reside in Noida. They completed 25 years of marriage in November 2022. When I heard about the duration they have been married, it immediately made me think, “what is the secret behind this long and happy marriage?” So, automatically, this became the first question I asked during the interview. Murali, sensing my curiosity, says, “There is no magic mantra to a long-happy marriage; we both had our share of ups and down in this relationship but what worked for us is to accept each other and to understand that being a couple does not necessarily mean that we both have to be similar. What is more important is being real and open with each other. This is our biggest strength at this point.”

Money is often considered a taboo topic in relationships, but avoiding financial discussions can lead to significant problems. Couples may think discussing money is unromantic, but money is a major source of conflict in relationships. It is important for couples to have open and honest conversations about their financial goals and priorities to ensure they are on the same page. Failing to do so can result in disagreements about spending habits, debt, and financial planning. It is also crucial for couples to have a joint budget and to regularly reassess their financial situation to prevent conflicts from arising. Talking about money may not be the most romantic thing, but addressing financial issues proactively can help build a stronger and more stable relationship.

Scheduling/planning s*x may sound unromantic or even clinical, but in reality, it is sometimes the main reason long term couples still have s*x. Spontaneous attraction for a partner has an expiration date and the more we spend time with one another, the less we might want to engage physically with each other. There are further barriers to regular and spontaneous s*x. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy for s*x to take a back seat to other priorities and responsibilities. There are kids,work, extended family’s needs and let’s not forget spending time with friends. But setting aside specific times for intimacy is very important if you want to prioritize your relationship and create more meaningful and enjoyable s*xual experiences.

In today's age of social media, it's no surprise that we're inundated with memes and posts about relationships. From "red flags " to "green flags," these posts use binaries to categorize certain behaviors as either positive or negative. While it can be fun to make statements like “this is a red flag”, these binaries can be seriously harmful to real-life relationships because they carry a heavy sense of categorization.

If this was a series of a complicated string of words, allow us to clarify what all this means, in detail.

What are some words that come to your mind when you think of the terms ‘repair’ and ‘rupture’ in the context of romantic relationships?

When I think of these terms, an image of an old cloth comes up for me. A rupture is a hole that gets formed in that piece of cloth due to constant wear and tear, while the repair is that needle and thread that sews the cloth together.

Here, sewing the tear close does not mean that there will be no more holes in that cloth in the future. Since that cloth is still being used, and modified, there is almost a guarantee that more holes will be created. Some holes would be small, while there could be huge tears across the front side of the cloth as well.

However, with the needle and thread, we know that we can work to repair the ruptures that come our way as best as possible.

Relationships are very similar to this.

How as a Couple We Balance Relationship & Running a Business Together - Relationship Wellness | Baely We often hear so many opinions and myths about how a couple cannot work together as it doubles up their conflict zones. However, there are many couples who prove the theory wrong and succeed.

27 year-old Aditya and 26 year-old Kashish went to the same school in their hometown, Gurgaon, but never really interacted with each other. They were in different class sections, completely unaware of the other person’s existence. This story is about their coming together despite never sharing a word at school.

Kashish tells me, “It was destiny which brought us together at the right place, at the right time.” Aditya differs from this and feels, "It was us two who worked to build this relationship". Even though both feel differently about how the journey of their relationship, the love, and affection that they exhibit toward each other is beautiful.

They both begin to share the story of how they ended up in the relationship 6 years after high school ended.

Everything was a fairytale affair, for the next eight months when Rachel and I met with a major accident. She was driving considering I was sleepy at the wheel, during our drive to a vacation spot.

Baely Shots: Relationship Myth vs Fact #35

Myth
If my relationship is healthy, i shouldn't need to depend on anyone else for anything

Fact
Having a strong network of friends/family outside of your relationship can actually improve the quality of your relationship. When we have other people in our lives whom we can turn to for support, advice, and companionship, we are less likely to place unrealistic expectations on our romantic partner to be everything to us.

Of course, this isn't to say that we should neglect our romantic relationships or take them for granted. A strong, healthy partnership requires time, effort, and attention to thrive.

Marriage and Money: Why Debt Did Not Do This Couple Apart

One of the least discussed aspects of marriage is another M – money.

‍All the statistics indicate that lack of alignment on finances is a top reason why many relationships struggle. Money ranks Number 1 on the list of what partners argue about. Opposing attitudes towards money also prove to be a challenge.

‍The state of a couple’s finances can deeply influence the state of their marriage. An excess of money or the lack of it, erratic spending habits or excessively thrifty ones, debt, financial abuse, and other scenarios, trigger a range of emotions in both partners.

‍In this interview, I explore some of these emotions. I also seek to understand how new-age couples can make sense of their financial lives in the context of their relationship. To get insights, Merril Diniz spoke to Prema and Hermann, a couple who experienced extreme distress due to financial difficulties.

Two Contrasting Backgrounds & An Alliance of 21 Years

38 year-old Saumya Srivastava and 39 year-old Shahzeel Jawed met in the first year of graduating college in their hometown, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is the love story of teenagers from two different backgrounds who fell in love when they are just 17 and 18, respectively. It is the story of their grit and determination to win against the tide of the odds and mark their 21st year of togetherness this year in 2022.

Saumya recalls, "During the beginning, we had no clue where our relationship was heading. We can’t call it romance; it was more of a matter of comfort, which was the appealing factor. With time, we knew it was destiny, otherwise, the odds of us surviving the last 21 years together were rare!"

And Shahzeel feels, "At that age, one is immensely unreal, naïve, and emotional that one doesn’t understand the intricacies of life – romance has been one of them!"

But then they did take the plunge against the wishes of their parents and, of course, the societal norms. So how did that thriller happen?
