“I first met him when I was pursuing my Engineering. We were good friends. One day, he proposed to me, leaving me baffled and excited at the same time. It was very organic. I wasn’t absolutely prepared for this, so I had asked him for time. He left for the US to pursue his higher education but we were still in good terms. I told my parents about our relationship and they did not accept it. It took many years to convince our parents. Though we were in a long distance relationship for many years, we never had any trust issues. We really missed each other’s company.

Eventually, he came back to India. We had decided to approach our families. It still took a long time to convince them. It took eight years of effort to convince our parents. Patience is something we must employ in a good marriage. Distance is just a test to see how far love can travel. Hurdles are a part of life. The real success is in jumping those hurdles together and make the relationship worthwhile.”
