I would not sacrifice my ethnicity, my background, my religion, my culture and identity. I will never sacrifice my parent’s wishes, hopes and dreams for a guy. I will not marry someone who bad mouths my country in a way that is hurtful or says anything to my parents. Neither my self respect or honour. I would sacrifice arguments in his favour, egoistic small battles, time, money and any material or non material attributes that i can sacrifice. As a life partner he can be sure that if trouble, financial or otherwise, falls on us i will be there.
We will celebrate good times together but in bad times we will be each other’s shoulder to cry on. I will respect his parents as mine and he will do the same to my parents. for him they will be a second set of parents and his parents will see me not as a daughter in law but as a daughter. We will both give importance to each others dreams, wishes and aspirations over our own ones. It will be a relationship of giving rather than taking. He will have to love my parents like his own, and love my background/ethnicity and celebrate it as much as I would his. If anything happens to my close family or parents he will be as concerned as I would for his family. Marriage is not just marriage of 2 individuals in desi culture it is the marriage of 2 families and it is imperative they also have true love for each other for marriage to go smoothly and be successful.
This is the true love i will pledge to my partner and he will pledge same back to me. It will be unconditional love not based on age, beauty, social status or financial status. I will be the only wife in his life and obviously he’ll be the only guy in my life. A love that will be timeless and last till we have wrinkles and white hair or have lost our cognition. Easy to fall in love, harder to maintain it. Easy to move on, harder to stay and resolve things. It will be a love marriage beyond this life and to the next.
If something were to happen to him such that he is never the same again. Whether physical, whether medical or losing his job, something he has no control over I will still be by his side. Likewise he will think the same of me.
That is true love. Maybe the type you see in movies. Maybe not.
Sounds all movie like? Well actually such true love exists. May not be common but it is not rare.

I’ve seen this video before. True love.

Re: It starts
sigh When you are in love it doesn't feel like a sacrifice. You can't make a list of what you will sacrifice when you are in love, because at the end of the day it never feels like a sacrifice. It feels like the most natural thing in the world.
