(Based on a  blog which I read long back My acknowledgements    and thanks  to the author. Many people possibly  of the fairer  sex may not agree  with this ..I crave  their pardon)

One   elderly lady   who  has great experience ,

Addressing    young  married  ladies  told

“Most  of the men  become  mentally  depressed,

Due  to erratic  and autonomous    behaviour of their wives.”

“I am  only telling  what   is happening  inmany families,

And not   exaggerating     even a little  bit,

Oh  my dear   young  , pretty modern ladies,

I am telling this to you    as a mother  to  all of you.”

“Your husbands   are the greatest  boon to you  ,

Gven by   God himself   and so please love them.

Look after  him with love  and also love  his parents,

Who have   sacrificed  everything to  bring him up.

“If  you do that . your husband  will lead a happy life,

Without   any guilt  that  he did not look after his parents.

And that peace   and joy would  keep him alive for a long time  ,

And look after   your needs   with love and joy   for a long time.”

“Please understand   that  neither  your brother  or sister or your own children

Or any other relation cannot give  the unselfish love that  he can give.

AS long as theu ir husband is alive most of wives    do  never understand,

That only as long as he lived  , they can lead a happy  auspicious life.

AS long as he is alive  only a lady  can  lead a  happy  carefree life ,

And as soon as  their husband   breaths his last, their life will become dark,

Those friends and relations   who were  near you when he was alive ,

Would  forsake you and go far-far  away , scared that responsibility  would come to them,

From that day onwards due the burden of    duties  and  responsibilities ,

Will fall on you   and you would start   tottering  unable to lift the burden.

You would feel as if your entire world has  become  suddenly empty,

And  there  would be no bosy to nurse  or help you  when you fall sick,

AS your children would  have settled  far away    from you and be unable,

To look after you  and so please    do love your husband  and look after  him.

Never  give him any trouble because  no near  and dear ones ,

Would be able to  fill  up the void left by  him at any time.

Please  understand this   and make life  a joyful dream,

And I am telling  you all this , having  experienced   the loos of  my husband.
