Getting married is a stage in one’s life, where two people decide to be together for the rest of their life and share their time, emotions and feelings. Decision can be taken either by the concerned couple, on its own or they decide to be together by the wishes and choice of their respective parents. The end result in both the cases is that you are accepting a new person in your life and by doing so you are trying to “change” the pattern of your life.

We all know that “Change” of any kind has always been resisted and it require very high level of “maturity”, “Understanding” and “adjustment” .. Many times, many people fail to address this issue and hence end-up with very high level of stress, resulting in burn-outs, violence and some health related issues. In this article, we will be reading about the position, situation, role, expectations and challenges of a Husband.

Expectations of a Mother:

A mother is the one who gave you life and carried you in her womb for nine long months.

She was the one who understood your needs, wants and expectations, when you were not even able to speak.

She fought for you and defended you all the time, even when you were wrong. She was your first teacher.

She taught you lessons, which you would not have learned on your own or in any university of the world.

She fought with her husband, when you were in need of money.

She woke-up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for you and to pack the lunch for you. She always made sure that you eat on time.

She never slept on nights when you were sick, she just sat beside you.

She was your first friend.

When you were sad, hurt and in pain, she listened to you and motivated you…gave you hope. You shared your emotions, feelings, experiences with her, without any hesitation and she always listened to you and never complained. She listened to you, even then when she was not even able to understand as what you are saying…but she never let you know that.

She did all this and many more things for you without complaining.

After your marriage her only expectation is that you continue to be the same person as you were before; talk to her, give time to her, share with her and should not hide anything from her. Once you get married, she starts feeling insecure. She treats your wife as an intruder in her relation with you. She becomes more possessive about you and feel insure when you do not behave the way she want you to behave.

She expects you to marry the girl of “her choice” (Not necessary or a compulsion but a hidden wish). She expects you to treat your wife the way she wants her to be treated (this includes many hidden and unspoken expectations).
