I have been a practicing devotee for almost 20years. I have seen the disrespect for the principles of the varnashram system abused for years. I have been married for 9 years, I knew my husband for 2 months before we chose to get married. Me 31 him 37 we had our terrible times...abuse fights stemming from his side and his terrible upbringing..poverty low self esteem... Its seem that all to often the principle of marriage is forgotten and we sometimes tend to get selfish about what the other person should be doing for us or what we want from them. I have found that marriage if offered up to Krishna is the most sacred and devotional calling in life. I see it as my duty to help my soulmate become a whole person emotionally. I nourish his mind so he feels good about himself. Feed him, make him laugh. It all comes around back to me with out my asking. His love, support belief that Krishna is the center of our relationship. He has went from a selfish abusive husband to a loving and supportive husband. We both feel the need to help eachother in life, sometimes one sacrificing more than the other to help. We do everything together we are best friends. Our children are healthy and happy. Honestly..If more devotee families would see family life as a blessing from Krishna than a fall down or weakness in the devotional path we would have more healthy families. Marriage isn't always easy..but almost 6 years without a fight...Krishna is great. I humbly bow before My Lord Jagannath who brought me this gift from Jagannaths home in Orissa. May my devotion and the strong family and healthy children be my offering up to your Lotus feet. This is my success nothing less...
