Bonding is most important to achieve marital success. Empathy plays a vital role in enhancing emotional closeness between the married partners. It’s one of the most important form of human psychotherapy and has contributed in enhancing the growth in most forms of relationships. Communication is the key to happy marriage and the emotional layer of communication is most vital for married couples. Good emotional communication is the foundation that enhances problem-solving skills, resulting in strong marital bonding between the spouses. In the past, marital bond between the spouses were stronger, as marriage then was never a source of deriving happiness. In the recent times, the new modern era marriages are no more about strong marital bond, as they only strive for individual happiness, self goals and self centered desires and aspirations. Emotional equality between the married partners that include qualities like love, sympathy, loyalty and patience; are required to achieve lasting marital bond. Marriage is a bond between two equal partners, this understanding and mental maturity will not allow dominance of either partner and will strengthen the marital bond. As Mahatma Gandhi rightly said that marriage is a partnership and not a hierarchical arrangement. To achieve the status of marital bond being stronger than blood bond, the married couples must strive for an emotional bond between them. Your marriage is the most important relationship you will ever have, and marriage is an ultimate bond between two partners, and hence its very importance to keep up the promise of ‘Till death do us apart’ that the couples made while they got married, to achieve and win an everlasting strong marital bond.
