On her idea of a happy marriage

I think the key to a happy and an ideal marriage is transparency. There should be a lot of transparency between a couple and the minute you start hiding things from each other, the problems start. When you start lying, it never stops; you lie to hide your first lie and it goes on and on. Unless and until one is honest about what they do, I believe a marriage will not work. Other than honesty, I also think compromising goes a long way in any marriage. You have to give and take. But it also depends on what you are compromising on; you can give up on things that happen on an everyday basis but I don’t believe in giving up on the bigger aspects of life. I think if the newlyweds respect each other for who they are and function as best friends more than anything else, the marriage will sustain. I think if your husband is a friend that is the best thing you can ever get.
