Samuel Johnson said... 'There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity' , please weigh whether you satisfied this rule that is very vital in any marriage, spouses need to be very good friends and also need to be persons of integrity.
if any of the above loses its standing life becomes miserable;
see in inter caste or inter religion marriages there is some leadership is most important factor, that means right brain works , so in these marriages one needs to know marriages here are not managing alone but leading with right brain. of creativity - Aristotle said, ' WE are what we repeatedly do, Excellence , then, is not an act, but a habit' do we have excellence if if we do what we do?
Mulim gentleman married a hindu girl he needs to know they are far part in their culture and civilization, when so what a leader does is they go away from their old links of their families to foster and develop a new family kind traditional thought but if one clings to their own families then what happens to Leadership?
Again they go for the Laws which are contrived to cater for traditional marriages, not these kinds of leadership in marriages!
Again special marriages Act was created but no safety element which traditional marriages are given by so called statutes. i see here a gentleman says go for MCDs, being some 'enthisiast'!
We need balance is called WISDOM. Failure is definitely leads one to misery life long as enmity and hatred grows uninterruptedly, what is life if you cannot compromise with things you mastered and manuvered !
solutions are in your hands only not in courts of any kind that is the fact of legal ethics and morals as both crossed your religious morality but adopted a new code of law unless new code of morality if not properly supported by new religious thought enunciated, by both spouses, by new sets of laws where can be any solution sirs!
so Henry David Thoreau statement comes to my mind... '
'I know of no more encouraging fact,
than the unquestionable ability of man
to elevate is life by CONSCIOUS endeavor'!
