In my life, the number seven denotes years of love, laughter and learning.
Seven years ago, this day, I tied the knot with a man who drove me crazy with his simplicity, consistency and rigidness.
That man vowed to be with a woman who drove (and still does) him crazy with her ever changing moods and spontaneity.
Not sure if it is perfect but I am sure it is good enough for us.
Good enough that we choose each other again, after seven years of togetherness.
Good enough that we decide to wake up next to each other, even after a night long hassle over a hypothetical question.
Good enough that we end the day with a good-night kiss, even though he repeatedly leaves his wet towels on the bed and slippers under the couch and I demand a new thing with a new day and believe more in dreams than in actions.
Good enough that we are each other’s best confidante and moral support.
It is almost perfect that we take our union as a commitment and work hard towards it.
I believe marriage is what we make of it.
I am lucky and happy and thankful that we have made our marriage our biggest comfort zone.
We derive solace, calmness and peace from our marriage that keeps us shielded from the heat of the outside world.
It has become our little fantasy world where we dream, laugh, fight, scream and yet love each other.
As we complete seven years, we gear ourselves up for a phase called ‘Seven Year Itch.’
I look forward to exploring it in all its notoriety while he silently smiles as I read this message out to him and says, ‘there is nothing called seven year itch’.
Aha! This contrast is the most beautiful thing.

Hello Surabhi, I wish you and Sir a wonderful life.
Being together with the person who loved is the best feeling.
Just to tell my story, recently my best friend (female friend) got married and till then she was very close to me. I was thinking of telling her my love to her from past 18 months but somehow I had this feeling that if she rejects, probably I cant even have her friendship. And all of a sudden one fine day she comes up and says she is getting engaged and the feeling is disastrous. All those long conversations now just remain as memories. Even though I'm not kind of a guy who thinks love is sacred and becomes psyche, still its so dejecting and now when I start looking for a girl marriage, I somehow try to look for same qualities in girl. Right now I'm just all those beautiful moments together with my friend. I feel I somehow missed it by not proposing her. Anyway my suggestion to people is if you are close to someone, just tell them that you like them, even if its awkward. If she accepts its wonderful else you can laugh it off and probably after certain years you need not repent.
I have a question to Surabhi ma'am, what do women look for in men when they are in hunt for marriage?
hi surabhi, this is Susmita. I have been following this blog from some time now .I wanted to share 1 problem of mine with the hope that u will show me some way out. I am in a7 Yrs relationship with my boyfriend and also into 2.5 Yrs long distance relationship. Now my problem is that my relationshiphas become quite monotonous as therw is hardly anything left to know about each other. And another reason being the distance. Since we both stay with our parents it becomes quite difficult to meet often as well. What can i do to save my relationship?? We both love each other a lot but there is hardly to talk about anything and i feel afraid i may loose him due to this monotony. Please help.
Hi, thank you for writing to me. I understand and believe that yes, we should express our feelings. Many times we don't because we fear rejection but that shouldn't be the case. Love is above all fears.
About your question – different women seek different things. But most of the women want a gentle, loving and caring person. A man who can provide them the security as well as respect. But like I said, different people have different desires. I know few women who marry for a comfortable lifestyle. They look for rich men.
But believe me, in the end every woman wants love.
Susmita, you have admitted that your relationship now feels boring and that you do not have anything to talk about.
In my experience, most relationships go through this phase at least once. In such cases, it is wise to take a short break and work on your other interests. This problem arises when we focus too much on the partner and less on ourselves.
I would suggest you both to explore your hobbies, studies and career and then discuss your everyday learnings with each other.
Hope this helps.
