Marriage
should be contracted through a careful planning not accidental marriage
(that is marriages that are not planned but are forced on couples to
save the family or families from embarrassment) should be avoided like a
plague. Before a man weds his wife, both of them should reach the age
of maturity. They should mature socially, economically, temperamentally,
financially etc.
For a happy marriage, they should maintain a
feeling of love and affection. The wife must experience a feeling of
being wanted and a sense of belonging, care and security. The husband
too needs love and affection to ensure him of a stable marriage.
Marriage partners should avoid cognitive error that is, they should not
expect the other person to see it. Therefore, if the husband wants the
wife to behave in a certain way, he should inform her about his wishes,
the same is true of the wife to her husband.
