Sonal Singh On Sonal's Table

My mother always said, “Treat marriage as a partnership.
It will have its good days and bad; highs and lows.
But like all partnerships that are a hundred percent
Relationship; your onus is a fifty percent of this hundred.”
I was young yet, I did not fully comprehend the gravity
of the counsel that she so sagely dispensed.
But, today I understand that in a marriage both partners
Are equally responsible, should bear the onus equally.
So, like my mother always said, I now tell my daughters
That marriage is a partnership in which you must do your
Fifty percent but your spouse also has to take the onus
And contribute his fifty percent, to make it work.
