Gurindam Jiwa - Asam garam rumahtangga / Self sacrifice and forbearance in married life



Owh..I stumbled upon my old letters...from my late dad...in one of those, sth caught my attention.. it was his reply towards my asking about marriage..



He wrote :-
  SELF SACRIFICE AND FORBEARANCE ARE
THE PASSWORDS TO HAPPINESS IN MARRIED LIFE. 

and later..to my surprise, when I googled, I found a short but precise elaboration  the phrase itself...  owh my..owh my..


Self sacrifice and forebearance are the cardinal virtues on which married happiness revolves.

Considering this matter, Self-sacrifice and forbearance are representative of the religion that we profess very assuredly.

They head a big family of new virtues, economy, sobriety and steadiness in social relations and patience and sweetness of temper in private relations.

There will be no friction between husband and wife who practice them, and absence of friction means that the machinery is running smoothly.


ha..ha..  I"ll be back!
