That would not have happened if they had spoken to each other of their feelings. If she expressed how unhappy she was, he would certainly have understood. In any marriage I told Anoja, one of the most important things is the communication the husband and the wife have with each other. Neither should block the other, for a marriage means a 'togetherness'. The home should be the place where the husband and wife talk out their problems, usually solve them and 'where each one in the eyes of the other is ten feet tall even if they aren't'.
Marriage means listening, talking and discussing together.
It's been said 'to listen is to care, but caring is more than listening, to care I try to see your point of view, see through your eyes and sense what you want'.If a couple can achieve that caring, then their marriage will last. The quest for a boarding house, which began way before university started, drew a blank. Almost all of them were awfully stuffy, dirty, smelly, and messy, with three or four students sharing a tiny room. One could not even breathe, let alone study. Everything would be rationed.
