Top Tips for Building a Strong Marriage:
Vallari: It's important to have common interests that you can fall back on when you are going through troubled times. Helps to be able to engage in something that both love to do. For us, it's the love for art and architecture.
In a marriage, through the years you grow in your partnership, but it's really important to also keep living your own best life. Otherwise you can arrive at a point of imbalance where one might feel inadequate compared to the other.
Ruchir: Ensure each of us has our own space to continue to learn and evolve as our own personalities, even as we build our lives and home together.
It's important to be open to adjusting and compromising, giving priority to others in the family.
Ruchir is a technology consultant.
