Married and yet Separate --
Recently, I read a very interesting article in the paper. It was about how married couples have decided to live in their own individual houses. Married, yet living in their own homes...obviously this trend has not yet caught up with India.
This gives them enough space of their own and there's no need to adjust to another person's lifestyle habits. You only have to get used to the night style habits! ;-)
I really liked this idea...you can minimize the number of fights you have this way.
E.g. -- The woman may hate the fact that her mate throws his socks around, leaves the towel on the bathroom floor, wears shoes inside the house and many more things.
The guy may hate that fact that his woman puts a lot of flower-filled vases around the house, yells at him for dirtying the house, has tons of make up boxes and other stuff women do.
The concept of two houses or flats is a great one but it has it's obvious disadvantages...
It takes a hell lot of money to maintain two houses (complete waste in fact), it becomes a pain to travel to and fro if the houses are poles apart and the poor kids will get stranded.
But if I have the money, then I would definitely go for the option of having to apartments in the same building, same floor...side-by-side.
Then we could keep up the romance by asking the traditional, "Your place or mine?"
P.S -- Readers please comment and let me know whether you would like this kinda lifestyle or
not.

umm.. i dont agree!!
then why get married? just for the nights?? lol
hmmmmmmmmm well good thought,but this kinda-lifestyle is good wen u feel like spicing up your relationship. And c'mon wen u love a guy/gal, u accept him as he/she is. So ther's no question of getting iritated by them.Infact this r da only things which attracts each other.
I agree with what rupz says
well! I don't totally agree with it. coz I have traditional beliefs about this. I am proud of the fact that our Indian culture has the tradition of living as a family.This helps us bond with each other better apart from being an individual. So adjusting to each others needs tests how much you can do for your partner. I mean one does not have to be totally submissive. In life one cannot have their way in everything, adjustment ultimately trains you to be flexible to situations. I feel if both the spouses need some space, then they should each have a room for themselves in the same house and a room for both of them to spend time with each other and a common living room for the entire family for family time apart from a room for the children. So in all buy a 3/4 bedroom house.
