If you are hunting for a spouse
Know it is not an easy task
Getting an ‘ideal’ partner in life
Is not within easy reach, hence ‘sour grapes’!

Beautiful, humorous and captivating quality in your writing Valsaji. I can't admire it enough. The thought of marriage gives me quite a scare, I tremble like an innocent hare. But your advice is sound, good enough for me to be bound, in the bonds of matrimony And spend all my time and money on that one special bunny...
Ayman Don't see marriage as a snare It is not something to scare It is a life to share With love and mutual care!
Ha ha so true. And I’m so glad that God has a partner to one and all on earth. I’m trying to figure out where I fit and felt like hitting on -The most incompatible, welded into a pair! One who has a temper ‘at the tip of his nose’……(I do have a temper) but I’m comfortable staying just between the lines. Something different. i do believe that Marriages are made in heaven

Why don't you write a poem, how to change a wife. Oh! I mean how to change the existing wife. It's a marvelous poem that I should have read about fifty years ago but at that time, I think, Valsa herself did not know how to select someone as a spouse. I quote Jigar Muradabadi- Muhabbat keya hay taseere muhabbat kisko kehte hayn- -Tera majboor kar dena mera majboor ho jana. (What is love and what's the effect of love? It's someone's power to make another one helpless. So helpless I was but it proved to be a nice decision as she proved herself a wonderful and cooperative loving wife, though a bit hysterical nowadays due to her sickness.
Well the law of the opposites holds seems to hold in all things. Opposite poles attract. Magnets with same polarity repel. They say for compatibility one soft and one hard match. Yet in the final count some adjustments must be made. Your poem tackles the problem very well. Thank you.
Getting and idea of partner in life is amazing and this is one amazing poem on marriage topic. But understanding matters a lot. Nice understanding and tolerance gives championship in life. Nice sharing really...10
God knows how to balance every pair, He is wise and He knows the best, those who have full faith and trust will take everything in positive manner....A thought provoking poem, Madam.10
That is some practicable advice which won't be practised by most. So, we would have and have a lot of unhappy marriages. But against such reality, you the poet (or poetess - they don't seem to use that word any more!) go with a 10.
This poem has revealed a great aspect in case of relationship and marriage, and you are a wise observer of life. The second stanza is so true, and may be it happens to keep the balance of human qualities in a society. Very thoughtful poem, carrying a good message.10
Since I am unmarried I can take this perhaps as a 'guide' for things to come ;) Kidding aside you did put something so complicated as human relationships, with great dexterity, in a nice perspective and described it brilliantly... Thank you for sharing...
Relationships may be the most complicated endeavor in life. Thanks, Valsa
a couple with different likes makes marriage such a delight but it doesn't happen overnight with love all interest unite thanks Valsa-10+++
Those who are wedded to educated employee-wife are champions in life from the very beginning. Only a few employed men with partners as housewives are delaying from getting into the fold of 'champions'. When fate plays havoc in human life, what can we mortals do?
Off course marriage is a gamble. A most adroit master gambler too may easily lose in it. In spite of that a sizable proportion of wedded couples live a meaningful and happy life though they are not ideal match for each other. Only compromise, here and there, enables them to achieve this miracle. Nice theme with a firm perspective expressed in a lyrical form. Thanks for sharing.
The poem brings to fore your power of observation transformed into words and then into a poetic discourse of great beauty involving human psychology. Following words do guide us: “If you fail to get what you like, Learn to like what you get”
Thank you Rajnish sir for your laudable appraisal of my poem and your high rating!
So is life; as seen around us. Thanks for sharing.
