This story was forwarded to me by my friend. I generally do not read the forwards I get. But the subject of this message made me to go through the content.
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all.The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered."Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists."I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes."What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list."The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it."Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily.Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them.We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us?

Touching indeed! And nice philosophy in the end.
You might probably want to change the second/third line of this post. You probably wanted to tell that you dont read forwards..

tcha tcha tcha... super katha.. enaku thookam vanduduthu.. nenje thotuta :D
that was really nice blog .. lotsa good stories.. but seriously, one thought which kep coming back to me was.. this lady is going to be a very difficult wife .. ha ha .. just kidding.. I dont know whether u are married or not but ur relationship talk is going to be a lot for the (un?)lucky guy I guess.. :-P
yo ppl,
the whole crux of a great relationship with your spouse is that you have to really connect with him / her. This connection should click the first time and every time, if not there is no relationship at all, even from the very first day.
To me, a relationship is a chord. Strike it right its music else it is really jarring for u n every1 around u.
Balle!
