My grandfather and grandmother lived together 70 years after marriage, lived happily, they had no quarrel, difference of opinion,
when they quarreled sometimes I used to feel whether they were enemies for last 7 births ..
But it was momentary.
After dinner, my Grandpa used to read news paper. My Grandma has to sit beside and listen to him. If she is not around he will search for her, bring her and make her to sit beside. My Grandma could hardly hear, even if one shouts she can't hear!
But he will read and explain that days politics and news.
She will ask doubts to clarify
"Grandpa, why are you reading news paper to Grandma? neither she can hear nor she can understand'.
Grandpa replied...
"Do you think I don't know that ? She will feel satisfied that her husband is reading something to her, that's why I do this".
I asked Grandma...
" Grandma neither you can hear nor you can understand politics, even then why you sit and listen to him"
She told me...
" My dear child, what I will make of politics? Who cares about it? You know why I sit patiently and listen to him? If I listen to him he feels happy, I am satisfied if he feels happy, that's enough for me"
How wonderful this way of living?_
Husband for the happiness of wife and wife trying for the happiness of husband, that too after 50 years of marriage.
This was the secret of their marriage.
