COUPLE GOALS

Recently saw a photo of Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja going viral where Anand was tying his wife’s shoelaces.  It was again believed to be one of those “couple goals”. I smile when such cute mushy pictures of celebrity couples are posted on the Internet and claimed to give “major couple goals.”

This takes me back to the time when my son was 2 years old and I suddenly developed an infection in my C-section scar.  The reaction spread within no time and it was in such an area where I couldn’t reach, clean, apply medicine or bandage.  The doctor did few dressings and then asked to do it at home.  With a 2-year-old toddler in tow and no extended support, it was my husband (as usual) who did the needful everyday before going to office. 

My kids were chubby babies and I couldn’t hold them for long when outside home.  It was my husband who carried our babies, even when dining in restaurants, and yes at the end of the day had shoulder pain!

I might not be the perfect wife but one thing that I also would appreciate about myself is that I have never nagged my husband when it comes to his work; never complained about long working hours or never-ending calls at home, even on weekends.

Even after 17 years of married life, with all ups and downs, one thing remains constant; not trying to change each other.

Just a few small incidents which most couples do for each other silently because that’s how it should be.  We “regular” couples actually can give “major couple goals”..isn’t it?
