Wisdom for Love & Friendship- Friends are a treasure. Cherish them!

 Friendships are made beyond
class, race and religion.

“I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.” - Thomas A. Edison

Remember those days when your high school crush proposed another girl and your best friends comforted you as you cried all night? Friends are life's support system.

We are blessed with so many relations to cherish - parents, siblings, cousins and relatives. Each relationship has its importance. Being with your lover or your spouse in a marriage relationship has its own significance. But nobody can take the place of friends. Friendships are made beyond class, race and religion.

With friends, insignificant and even mundane things become so enjoyable. Long conversations over the phone, gossiping, ranting about your boyfriend, cribbing about your colleagues, having coffee together, enjoying shots of vodkas, sharing books, shopping for clothes, sharing recipes; everything is so much fun when you are with your friends.

Friends make you laugh when you are feeling low. They give you hope when you are in despair. They are the people with whom you can discuss everything on planet without the fear of being judged. Of course there are moments of fights, and arguments in a friendship just like in love and relationship, but friends are the ones who stand by you in hard times and bring out the best in you.

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.” - George Washington

However, don't confuse friends with pals. You may boast about having those 200 “friends” on Facebook but all of them are not true friends. Pals are only acquaintances. You may enjoy a few drinks or go out for a movie with your pals. But if you are looking for understanding, faith, comfort and motivation, you will find that only with your true friends.

Choose friends wisely

It is wrong to say that everything is destined. The fact is that we choose our friends. You are judged by your friends. As J. Willard Marriott very rightly said, “Choose your friends wisely-they will make or break you.”

A true friend guides you to the right path
and corrects you when you are wrong.

Wisdom in relationships and friendship says that there is no point in being friends with somebody who diverts you from your goals. A true friend guides you to the right path and corrects you when you are wrong.

When you are sad, a friend is the one who notices pain in your eyes despite you trying hard to conceal your sadness behind your smile. When you are in a dilemma, it is a friend who offers you the right advice. When you are in trouble, a friend is the one who stands by you and makes efforts to take you out of the mess? TRUE FRIENDS are a blessing. They make life worth living.

Cherish the wonderful relationship you have with friends. Especially women become all-consumed with their special someone when they get married. It is normal to devote time to your family life. But do take out time to hang out with your girl friends and stay in touch. As Pam Brown once said, “A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.”

Support Your Wife Post-Delivery

Has a bundle of joy joined your family – a new born baby? Are you looking for tips to help your wife taking care of your child?

A newly born baby takes both 

parents to a roller-coaster ride. 

A newly born baby takes both parents to a roller-coaster ride. But, it is only the mother who is flooded with relationship advice on how to become a good mum while new fathers easily escape the responsibility.

Giving birth to a newborn is a real tough task for a woman. It is the time when she goes through lot of pain and trauma after which she expects her partner to read her mind and show wisdom in relationships.

She wants her husband to stay by her side every time she feels the need for a helping hand. She desires him to sense her every unexpressed need. She longs for his support every time her eyes get moistened.

Here is some relationship help for a new father to support his wife post-delivery.

Take Initiative with Childcare Basics

As a father, begin your relationship communication with your child through touch – the very first sense that an infant develops. You should take initiative with some childcare basics. Hold, carry, stroke, rock, caress, and massage your baby and feel the joy of seeing her fall asleep on your bare chest.

Engage her in a baby talk. Sing to her. Make silly noises. You will start feeling a strong bond with your baby in a few days. You can also help your wife in comforting, diapering, bathing, and entertaining your baby.

These initiatives will not only provide some relief to the new mother but also helps you strengthening your bond with your wife and newborn baby. Every time you talk, walk, and play with your baby, it lays down the foundation of a beautiful relationship that you can cherish for rest of your life.

Understand and Help Your Wife

It may be frustrating for you to see the home in mess and dinner not prepared. But you should understand your wife’s problem that looking after a baby leaves very little time for rest of the activities. In fact, you should help her in household chores.

Try to be awake with your wife in nighttime feeding. Surprise her with a morning tea or breakfast. Handle the laundry and kitchen on weekends. It is understandable that doing all these things may get even stressful for you. But, seeing your child growing everyday will be enough for you to forget your problems. 


Tell your wife, she is doing a great job with the baby and family. Ensure her that you will help her in any situation. Ask her if she is having her meals on time. Show concern about her diet as she breastfeeds the baby. It is very important to give back some nurturing to the mum as well. 

Support Your Unemployed Husband With Love

“The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.” —  Neale Donald Walsch

Has your husband recently lost his job? Is he getting annoyed at almost everything or behaving in a strange manner? It is the time for you to take control over the situation before it gets worse! 

Marriage relationships have their moments of both happiness and haplessness. The beauty of being married lies in the sharing of feelings, effortlessly and instinctively. One glance at your partner’s face can tell you if he is in a bad mood or a look into the twinkling eyes can make you feel happy and positive about life.

Losing a job without having another in hand is one of the most painful and difficult experiences for a man. All of a sudden you may find yourself without the security of a paid job, facing an uncertain future and it is a trying time indeed.

It is always heartbreaking for a man to lose his job as it directly hurts a man’s ego. Unemployment of the husband is one of the most sensitive issues in a marriage as it may lead to enormous stress and depression in men. Hence, you need to be doubly careful while handling this issue.

Here is some advice for relationship that may help you support your unemployed husband:

Do not create a hullabaloo

Do not over-react if he loses his job all of a sudden. Handle it with patience and a positive attitude and do not let your husband sense your worry as it is only going to increase his stress. It might be a while before he gets another suitable job. Be calm and wait for things to get better.     

Show your confidence in his abilities

A jobless husband can have a touchy, sensitive ego which smarts at an over-sympathetic response. Show confidence in his abilities and assure him of your faith in him and in a brighter future. Be the one in the marriage relationship who keeps the chin up and spirit high.

Do not seek his help in domestic chores

Do not force your husband to help you in kitchen, laundry or kitchen if he is not willing as it rubs in the fact that he is jobless and has no workplace to go to. Though participating in household activities is good for him to relieve the tension, let him do it only if he is willing.

Cut down on budget

You should try to cut down on extra expenses like vacation or dining out. Your husband will also appreciate your gesture of foregoing your indulgences for the larger interests of your family. Since your husband is already aware of financial problems, do not make him feel more embarrassed by talking about it all the time.

Share some lighter moments

As your husband is spending more time at home, try to relieve his stress by sharing some moments of love and affection like enjoying a romantic movie or a hot cup of coffee on the porch.

If you manage difficult times with wisdom in relationships, you will be able to build fruitful, loving relationships that can withstand the toughest challenges.
