Is physical attraction important only?

Young people wonder if physical attraction is important only while falling in love, or even when one has to marry. To have an ideal life partner for marriage is wishful thinking. Of all the relationships the matrimonial one is the most important. It is the face that attracts a couple to each other. That is just a physical attribute. But that is not sufficient to sustain a life in togetherness. Therefore it is important for people of any faith to have a balance of mental stimulation and physical attraction before they marry each other.

Nowadays a wedding is not only a union of a bride and groom and their families. But it is an amalgamation of many qualities which include their capability to vibe mentally and physically. When one is young the physical attributes like strength, beauty are given importance. As the relationship in marriage matures, the hue of physical romance changes to more rational challenges. A couple needs to be on the same page for various issues pertaining to their lives and family and work. The romance is replaced by a life full of love. Thus a young girl often prefers to marry a groom at least five years her elder. They are able to think alike. And as they grow older, and the physical appearance changes it is the bond of love that keeps them going. The beauty of the youth is replaced by the maturity of the grey years. And this is the eternal shadi story of every couple.

What is more important looks or good family background

The older generation married young. A girl and boy became a bride and groom when they were still minors. In many Asian societies this is till the norm. But now the age limit of getting married has increased. When a couple decide for an arranged marriage, the knowledge of the family background is essential for both. A life partner is searched often with a lot of care. The initial importance is given to the looks of the life partner. To marry a fine person with a good family background is the cherished dream for all. When the couple is of the similar family ground and class they are likely to have a better shot at their marriage.

All relationships do not follow the same pattern. A matrimonial alliance can also be of a groom from a rich family falling in love with a girl from a simple family. The bride’s good looks and breeding is important. Such a wedding alliance is also acceptable. With a combination of good looks and sound family background the girl is able to gel well in her new home. She comes as a life partner to the groom’s home with traditional values and becomes an asset.

Sometimes a person may not be good looking but may have a golden heart and a nice personality. Even such a person qualifies for a shadi.  They prove to be dedicated life partners. If not for their looks they make up for their character.  A marriage to such a person is also successful one.

Qualities of a good life partner

A life partner has many meanings, but the most common is when it is used for the person who is cherished as a spouse. The characteristic of such a person is that of an understanding nature. This is one of the main qualities of a good life partner.

A marriage is a car that runs on the four wheels of love, understanding, care and sharing. All the precious moments shared begin for the couple as a bride and groom. And then for life the matrimonial alliance is set. This happens in case of arranged and love marriages. It is important that both the bride and groom become friends and be honest with each other through their life. This is the key to happiness. One of the real good qualities of a life partner is admitting to mistakes. This keeps the channel of communication and level of trust open.  Many couples tend to lose momentum once the wedding vows are done. But the romance can be kept alive with sweet little surprises. Helping the spouse to lessen the burden is an important trait for the life partner these days. Balancing the career with the family and giving quality time also helps in making the relationship successful.  When little gestures of affection are executed, the marriage is no long boring but blissful. A thoughtful partner will not forget to help in the household chores. Being good with the relatives and friends of the spouse are also considered healthy to keep one’s shadi like an unbreakable bond.

Money is more important than a compatible life partner.

Although being married is blissful, not all couples agree. This is because the reality shows that divorces also contribute to unhappy lives. A relationship between two people breaks over money and familial ties. Is money more important that a compatible life partner? To a certain extent the answer is yes. One cannot live only on fresh air and love. At some point money matters enter the relationship. It is the key to survive the shadi blues. A healthy life partner will keep money matters on a tight leash. For a marriage to endure it has to have a financial backing. In some cases even if the life partner is not compatible in other areas, the financial worth keeps the marriage going. This is mostly done to ensure that the kids do not suffer. Hence all matters pertaining to money should be discussed before the actual wedding.

There are some people who insist that compatibility is the main mantra for the bride and groom to walk the path of married life. One has to go through a relationship exercise much more a life partner is chosen.  Once you know that the life partner you are choosing will pass the compatibility test then rest is assured. This test includes the life partner’s belief in religion/faith, principles, values, money communication, family, friends and hobbies.  All this should be figured during the period of dating. The bride and groom should remove all discrepancy between the money and compatibility. Once the matrimonial union is announced then it is difficult to backtrack.

Getting to know groom from another country

So you met him over a cup of mocha and frappe at an international airport terminal and decided to give friendship a new meaning. Then you got chatting, sent mushy smses, forwarded love mails and burnt VoIP cards for the next 3 months. Soon also set up the wedding date to become one soul in two bodies. As a young girl, if you have chosen a groom from another country, just having this Mills and Boon whirlwind romance is not enough to marry. There is more information you need to know. Just learning that he has a great sense of humor, is fair and sweet looking isn’t sufficient.

Discover his secret personality and a little more about his family. It matters if you both have been raised in different cultural environments. Most girls adjust to the groom’s family, but will the groom and his family be equally respectful to the girl’s family-irrespective of the financial status of the family? Even if a girl will eventually be living alone, there may be times when parents may visit them. How can they adjust and make them feel comfortable? This is one of the critical issues to be clarified before wedding vows are taken.

While having a long distance relationship, trust is very important. Remember when you will be living together, you will have to share your husband with his friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Will the two of you be able to trust each other completely? Knowing this is also critical before marrying.

Adjusting living abroad especially if going out for the first time

Many girls walk out of their cloistered environs only when they are getting married. Some girls walk out for the first time with palpitations in their hearts…wondering if they will be able to adjust living abroad. Quite a few relationships fail because wives have not adjusted to new laws and customs. If the groom works abroad then before marriage it is mandatory that one short trip be organised. This actually is the only sure shot way to know if the girl will be able to adjust to living in an alien environment. This exercise is essential as not all girls are able to understand the local culture in the new country. Adjusting does not only mean making compromises with the people around, but also to the place. Leaving your home, family, identity – in short your life, for a new one after marriage is not easy. And especially if that means adjusting to a new life outside the city or country where you were born and raised. The memories of the place, friends, family and the surroundings are so deep that it’s a Herculean task to erase them and settle into a new life at twitch of a second.

But that’s what marriage does to all women. We all do it, whether we like it or not. Adjusting living abroad is the worst of all – an alien man, an alien place, people whom you can’t identify with and certainly the new road and routes to map in the mind. Become adventurous!

Getting to know rules and living patterns, rights of the country of residence

It’s a big adventurous life abroad, with lots of new avenues and openings for a young girl and to adapt a new culture and heritage. And what’s better than knowing everything about the new life, starting everything from ground zero – don’t you think it would be so exciting? There is a need for introspection after the flashlights (read wedding vows) have faded, the reality starts sinking in. So you will be away from the people you have known all your life, in an alien country about which you only read on internet on saw on Discovery Channel. Moving away to a new country will be daunting and nerve-racking at first, but will slowly turn into the most exciting chapter of your life.

So, before you go, just Google each and everything about that country. Find out their laws, research local customs and traditions, be on a lookout for friends, relatives who have been their earlier and get all the first-hand info you can gather. Each country has different rules and regulations. So it is really important to know whether you can adjust to them freely. For example if you are a vegetarian will you get your greens easily? Pick up handy tips to adjust with the new atmosphere. If possible and resources allow you, visit the place before you are actually going to live there. A sample can be experienced! Make a note of things that will be required for adjusting. That’s life, make the most of it after marriage.

Adopting rituals of local flavor- American rites or Australian rites

South East Asian weddings are different from their western counterparts. When a couple of different inter-faith is exchanging wedding vows it is not possible to follow the customs of only one culture. Rituals from the host country can be incorporated to make the wedding unusual and more memorable. After all even if the rituals are diverse the meaning of wedding is the same all over the world. It is bringing two sweat hearts closer to one another.

Despite traditions varying across ethnicity, language and region, traditional weddings are structured in similar manner with pre and post wedding ceremonies. If the wedding is taking place abroad, what more fun if some local flavor of that country is also added. It will only make the entire event memorable. For example in countries like America and Australia where many S E Asians live, work and marry there are few local options for the bridal couple to adopt. Use of bride maidens, use of gown instead of ethnic apparel and cuisine can be adopted. It would be a perfect setting for a fairytale wedding. Traditionally, wedding ceremonies in Australia end with the couple exchanging rings – a circular ring with no end and no beginning symbolizing an everlasting relationship – and the traditional wedding kiss to seal the pact. In many south Asian weddings, the pair exchanges rings and kiss – just like its Australian counterpart. Get to know some local customs and adopt them in the event. Even as a mark of respect for the place.

Dating before marriage/ spending weekend holidays

Dating is normal between couples. How far can one go before marriage? Should a couple spend weekends together before their marriage? Some cultures are no open even if the couple is broadminded. Where does one cross the line? These are some questions still haunting real life couples who wish to maintain the sanctity of their relationship. In some Asian customs there are traditional hazards before the couple can become intimate at any level. Some families are known to be orthodox in such matters. With changing times some traditional hazards can be done away with. It has become important for a to-be bride and bridegroom to meet and spend quality time together to at least build a bond for an upcoming relationship together.  Every little action impacts one in a big way and dating clear the decks.

Compatibility is the key to a successful marriage and dating an either strengthen or collapse a relationship. A relationship can end while dating itself if the couple does not bond. Meeting each other on weekends, going out for lunches, dinners and movies opens up a whole new world of opportunities and responsibilities that we do not realize. Most societies view marriage as a lifelong commitment with spiritual, moral, familial, financial and social roles – the adage of “two become one”. Marriage has always meant to take a relationship to its highest level possible and that is why the average dating length before marriage must be considered. That is the key to a good life eventually.

Avoid Getting Duped in the Marriage Market

Many girls and boys approach matrimony with blinkers on. There is nothing like “it will never happen to me”. Anything can happen, anytime. We just need to keep our eyes and ears open and no one dare to fool us. Nevertheless, marriage fraud has disheartened, saddened, depressed and dejected many. How can one avoid getting duped in the marriage market? Marriage market being huge comes with its own set of deceptions and cons for some and a plain simple bad luck for many. Many men and women, looking for love, life and stability fall into the web of crimes adorning this pious institution – like marrying for an immigration or permanent citizenship of another country, marrying for money and sometimes marrying just under pressure.

The truth is that no upright man or a woman would ever exploit his/her partner – emotionally or mentally.  Avoiding these things before the marriage is fixed would be the first step to avoid getting duped. Getting the marriage registered under legal laws of the country is very importance. It can assure justice if any untoward thing happens later. Conduct a background search of a potential partner, through internet, detectives, relatives or friends. Do not be blinded by high-profile suitors as they can just be part of a “sweetheart scam”. Lastly, if you have a slightest of hint of a scam happening, just be firm and fizzle out with a threat of a police action. Learn to breakup. This isn’t just about the heart. It’s about being smart.

When A Woman Proposes… Marriage to a Man!

No mathematics work when it comes to love. Love knows no boundaries, no rules and regulations. So girls, the days of “ladies in waiting” are over when it comes to proposing marriage to their men. For centuries, proposing was a male bastion. Now women are getting down on the knees and popping the question. This may raise a few eyebrows, but today’ woman knows exactly what she wants in life — and gets it too! Women were actually given the right to propose marriage to a man in 1228!

This “role reversal” trend is not only evident in the number of women proposing, but in society’s willingness to accept this shift too. A natural and a healthy situation is when the couple is really in tune with each other and they have had wonderful times in the past, so that it can be progressed to the future. Psychologists say a woman should be in control of the situation when deciding on taking this step, with honesty being of prime importance. “Why do I want to marry this person?” And, “How do I perceive this relationship?” should be at the top list in her mind. Honesty should direct her behavior and her next step.

In most south Asian societies, which are very conventional and traditional, a woman, however successful in life, is always expected to be a meek bride. So taking such a step involves a lot of responsibilities of a woman’s action and repercussions. So be ready to face them.

Acquire the Art of Impressing Your In-Laws

The word “in-laws” is as horrific as a slasher movie. Meeting “mom and dad” is not easy…especially in orthodox South-Asian culture, where the bride needs to be as coy with them as on her wedding day. Pleasing this “beastly” group is the most important task and being the newest member it is you have to make a place in everyone’s heart. But the key to door is to just being warm and welcoming. Cook for them, invite them for dinner, clean the house, and show your interior designing skills and just open up with a nice, flairy conversation. Just laugh, have fun, share experiences and get to know them intimately, as they are the new family.

Who doesn’t get delighted receiving a call or a gift on birthdays and anniversaries, just do that. Drop by for visits, take them for shopping, and most important of all – be sensitive to their needs and wants. Just, reflect how much they mean to you and that would be an assurance enough for them as you being the perfect mate for their beloved son.

Impressing your in-laws is an important accomplishment. You already have the heart of their son, but being accepted entirely in the family matters, especially if you are marrying in the family. Just remember it is about reading their expectations coupled with your presence of mind. Since a job well begun is half done, getting them on your side initially will go a long way towards a smooth journey in life.

Dispelling Some Wedding Superstitions & Myths

Marriages are a reason to make merry. But it’s also a time when one is filled with apprehensions, tensions, trauma stress. As a result, this milestone of life has plenty superstitions to cross. We humans always seek to understand our surroundings and interpret life by that understanding. Superstition is just one more method of understanding life even though unfounded at times.

There are many wedding myths and superstitions that are passed through generations. Some are for good luck while others are considered bad, so without factual basis, they are agreed upon by generations. Many traditions believe in the bridal couple not meeting 4-5 days prior to the wedding, but with increasing trend of cross-cultural and love-marriages today, one wonders, is that possible and by breaking this tradition, does the couples not live happily after? Another set of myths preach a bride will not want to see a hare, pig, monk or nun on her way to her wedding as these are all unlucky or suggest a barren marriage, but logically if you think about it – what if she visions all of them? Will she be actually doomed? There are also few actions that are encouraged, like a bride taking a quick look at her reflection in a mirror just before leaving home for the wedding ceremony will bring her good luck. Which bride wouldn’t do that? Even though these superstitions and myths have no scientific basis, it never hurts to keep them in mind, just in case…luck dries up suddenly.

Using websites as wedding cards

Very recently a South Asian couple married and settled in US. The groom is a systems analyst in a software corp and the bride was a software engineer. So it was natural for them to use their skills to make their wedding memorable for their guests. They decided to make a website that served as a wedding card! Makig the most of their technology skills the website had regular sections like About Us-that described the bride and groom and their personalities, work, hobbies likes and dislikes with graphics and pictures. Parents- had important information about how the two families had blessed the couple for matrimony. A brief description of the parents and their pictures were given. Pre-wedding ceremonies- this gave information about all the dates and ceremonies and rituals attached. It mentioned the venue with the maps for the guests to come. It came with an email for RSVP. Wedding date and ceremonies- it mentioned the main date, programs and timings.

Couples have become more creative when it comes to getting married and using this technology has made it easier to marry. Wedding planners offer a bouquet of services for creating wedding websites. It is not an overstatement to say that a wedding is an event of a lifetime. So, to set the right tone for a wedding, an exclusive, well-designed and coordinated stationary works wonders-from informing guests about the venue, and event calendar to sharing pictures, all is handled deftly. Designers present elaborate themes, offer risk-free guarantees and samples.

Making most of traditions rather than running away

Different cultures have diverse wedding traditions. Some are long winding and mandatory. In some cultures in the Asian sub-continent if certain important traditional rituals are not conducted the marriage has no meaning. Centuries old beliefs in cumbersome rituals make some couples opt for legal or registered marriages- Which are fine except that the tradition should not be sidelined. Rather than skipping them, it is better to make the most of the traditions, rather than running away from them. When ancient traditions are followed, it is a sign of respect to the ancestors and the rituals they have developed. In the Asian countries when a couple gets married, it is a marriage of not just two individuals but two families. For example it is mandatory for the girl’s mother to give a gift of gold jewelry to the boy’s mother. It is necessary for a father to give away the daughter in marriage during the ceremony officiated by a priest in front of family, relatives and friends. It is so much in contrast to couples in love who elope and marry against parental wishes.

The need to wear traditional and ethnic clothes is also important. It strengthens the belief in the community. No matter how modern we have become traditions like exchange of rings for engagement and wedding make sense. They are lifelong symbols and need to be done in presence of elders and friends. It is an occasion for celebration, so why not enjoy the tradition that goes with it.

Keep Moma outta this wedding!

Emotional quotients run high just before the wedding. Most youngsters feel now that they are adults; they need to be in charge and not their parents. Sometimes mothers tend to control the entire show and that’s where the trouble begins. Mothers prefer to organize things the way they would have done in their times, since they were never given the chance. But today’s independent generation can hardly tolerate diktats-most of all their own wedding. How can one manage the show without head butting especially with dominating mothers and mothers-in-laws?

The key to happy pre-event discussions lies in first announcing who will be in charge of what job connected to the wedding.  Once the departments are allocated, insist that no one interferes.  Mothers generally tend to head butt with daughters in choice of bridal trousseau, jewelry, guest list and giving gifts. Most girls are unable to keep the mother away and usually are in tears pouring their heart out to the best friend. It happens often when mothers even interfere with the guest list. The ideal way would be to talk but a mother can emotionally blackmail too. Even if you are not paying for the wedding, remember it is your wedding and try to pacify mom without breaking her heart. She will already be heart broken when you leave the nest. Balance the situation by letting her go one way and you the other way. Gently ask her to treat you as an adult, now that you are getting married.

Don’t work on day of your wedding-Don’t get late to the venue

Are you a workaholic and that’s why the girl agreed to marry you in the first place? But don’t get carried away by this quality on the wedding day especially if you are a busy doctor, therapist or in any service oriented job that requires you to be on your toes. Keeping a date waiting in the restaurant is one thing, but not appearing at the wedding venue on time is almost sacrilegious. No one would tolerate it. When a wedding is announced, many people set their dates free from their busy schedules to bless the couple. It is only being considerate when you set the work calendar.

How can this work? Very easily, if there is inclination, time can be sorted out.  A wedding is announced well in advance.  Cards are also sent for the guests mark their calendars. Ensure that at least ten days before the wedding you are off work. This gives ample time to organize oneself. Clothes trials, important ceremonies, shopping for gifts and jewelry, checking out the venues and catering are important. Since it is your wedding it is essential to take charge.  It is important to get into the wedding mood and interact with the people who are helping to make this wedding happen. It is important to find time to get a good massage, beauty treatments to ensure you look your very best. Find also some time for some solitude and meditation. It is a big step in life that needs deep thought.

Dad- to- Son chats before marriage

In the marriage melee most dads get forgotten. Sons are supposed to be mature and need no advice. But the truth is that before the wedding the son is as nervous as he was when he was giving his final exam. Except that he does not express his fears. Times have changed and men are more expressive than their older generations. They have also learnt to cope with the fears. While it is easier for the girls to have a good cry and get over with the overwhelming emotions the boys find it tough. But now dads are open to have chats with their sons. Most sons do ask their dads if the choice of girl is right at the time of engagement. So when the wedding date comes closer, the jitters get louder. If the father had reluctantly approved the bride, it is all the more critical for the dad-to son chat to take place. This seems to be the last chance to reconcile and speak about the fears.

Sons may be close to their mothers, but there a certain things that they prefer discussing with their dads or best friends. Fears range from various topics like sex, behavior on the first night, expectations from the bride and dealing with a difficult mother. If the son will still be living with his parents, he will have to discuss the protocol that needs to be adhered once the new bride enters the home. A lively chat will reduce the burden of the heart.

Bride’s comfort-Groom’s Gain!

You’ve just got married and bought the bride home. As the honey moon dust settles in matrimony, it’s time to take a reality check. A bride is nervous when she steps in the foyer of her husband’s home for the first time. Even if she has socialized with her in-laws and other relatives, she needs initial comfort level. She has left her maternal place forever where she led a sequestered life. Now she will be the focus of attention in her new home. It is natural for the husband and his family to make her feel that she has come to another secure home.

The husband’s younger sister could be of great help to the newly wed bride. If they are in similar age group the bride learns to adjust easier. If a mother-in-law is equally amiable, the shy bride will be relieved. In Asian families where the joint family system still prevails, a bride looks upon her husband and one younger member in the family to help with the adjusting. If there is no sister, and only a brother, he could be of help everywhere except, perhaps the kitchen. A bride is likely to feel comfortable when her cooking skills are recognized by the new family. When the bride also adjusts to the new ways and adapts herself she is assured of having a great married life. After all, it takes two to tango and all the adjustment cannot come only from the family but also from the bride.

Dream choice or parental choice- coping up

t’s the day and age when couples have to live by themselves. Whether it is the dream choice or parental choice, coping with the partners can be smooth if one is able to understand and give space. There is no set formula that works. Dream choices can also become sour and a parental choice can be a big marital surprise. For working couples
It’s nice that both of you are bringing home the bacon, bread and butter. But does the professional life leaves any gap for personal fulfillment. If one of you works late, it is hardly rocket science to learn what will happen eventually. A married life is like a plant that needs to be nurtured. It needs to be watered with love and time for each other-Especially if you wish to have children. There should be no reason that work pressures should leave you in a situation like-my way or the highway!

When one is house-bound
With competition, one finds that women executives travel, leaving the hubby to be house-bound. This is hardly an issue to sweat about or have an ego trip. Being married is also about equal rights, honey. If you are a man and dreamt of a bride serving tea in the bedroom, then wake up. It’s time to either switch jobs or go along with the bride. Having an ego can be disastrous. Then it does not matter if you have married out of your own choice or parents’ will. The ego can destroy happiness.

First time or second time- different rules

We all marry the first time thinking it is the only and last time we have found our soul mate. But we all don’t remain happily married thereafter. Some marriages run tough luck when they fail, one of the couple dies, or there is separation. Yes, sometimes love is star crossed. While first time marriages are all about knowing one another and then adjusting for lifetimes, for second timers it could be the other way round with a few children thrown in.

Yet, there are rules that one has to abide by. While in first time marriages one can get by making innocent mistakes and yet keeping the Knot intact, second time around the rules are tougher. Let’s concentrate on the latter, as few understand the rules of a second happy marriage. Never bring in the ‘ex’, if a divorce has taken place. By no means, take the name of the previous spouse as the hurt can be more painful and open wounds. Once you have decided to marry for the second time, be clear about the position of the children. No matter what their age is, all children are sensitive to sharing their parents with someone else. And never remind your second spouse about the first one if a death has occurred. Consideration for privacy is of utmost importance for the relationship to grow second time around. Stay away from hurtful friends, relatives and family or do not mean success of the relationship- watch romance bring happiness once again.

Wedding fashion for the groom

When the marriage bug hits the bachelor boys then it is essential to bring them to get them to do shopping-something which new age guys just love. Most grooms stand awkward in their traditional attire as they do not wear them on a daily basis. But they are happy to don the western trousers and shirt and blazers with easy at receptions. But wedding is once in a life time occasion. It makes sense to dress u the way tradition demand. With Asian films depicting grooms in catchy styles and colors, the real grooms are no longer shy.

Some families marry in style. Parents accept that their son carries the heritage that the ancestors began. This also includes wearing the special clothes so that it becomes a lucky charm for the rest of his married life. Maintain proper fashion etiquette to be at ease. If you are not used to wearing the traditional ‘wedding uniform’, try to do so in the rituals of the last few days that run up to the wedding. Impress the in-laws by accepting their traditions too. Honoring traditions is about respecting values. A Hindu groom accepted a silver sword from his Muslim father-in-law. The sword has a place of pride in his home. Needles to say the couple is still in love and happily married ten years later!

The only advice we can give to the shy groom is-that the fashion he chooses for the weeding day should be dictated by the ruling weather Gods.

Dealing with family and need for knowing names of relatives of the bride.

Like most proud Asians most of us know that when we marry, it is not only the bride but also the family, her relatives and close friends. One is introduced to a long list of well wishers on the reception day. It is hard to remember all of them.  But the trick lies in knowing some of the important names that matter. Some elderly aunt, important distant cousin, grandparent who was crucial in bringing up the ‘baby’ to this D-Day! Well, it can be a hard task knowing all names. In turn, it is equally compelling for the bride to know all the members in her husband’s family.

The last memorization of names would have been way back in school, for history-And now, the relatives and family. A few bridal couples have a way out of tricky situations. Both of them can have an opportunity to speak about these important relatives before they marry. Some can be met before hand. This helps in recalling the names on the wedding day. Remembering someone in the crowd can earn respect. In fact, not addressing an elder with the proper name can be the beginning of a relationship on a wrong footing, especially if the person is close to the bride. Some families do have uncommon names. The very fact that they are uncommon they can be remembered with ease or cause embarrassment at times! If it is very difficult to remember then get their pet names which can be recalled with ease.

When is the right time to get the parents involved?

In the content of Asian marriages, families play a very important role, from putting up the profile to finalizing the last minute details of the marriage. If you go by the rule book, online dating or online matrimonial alliances are a new concept that has fast caught up with the changing times.

Most online matchmaking services provider including Desi matchmaking services and NRI Matrimonials give it a traditional touch. They cater not only to the young professionals like you, but help to facilitate the older family members in the process of finalizing the marriage.

If you have already short listed a few prospective grooms or brides, the role of the parents or older family members’ starts. At your own personal levels, you must have evaluated your compatibility, likes and dislikes, consent on most factors before you ask your parents or family members to step in. Your parents would help judge the right person for your marriage in most cases.

They evaluate taking into factors such as family background- social standing and wealth, horoscope compatibility, education qualifications, personal appearances, mother tongue, personal ethics, religion and family values. In many Indian Matrimonial and even Pakistani Matrimonial profiles, it is the parents who respond to the queries instead of the young boys and girls who are to be married.

If you are one of those that left the decision of finding the right match for you in the hand of your parents, then they must have played a role right from posting the profile to answering and short listing the eligible boy or girl.

But if you have already short listed or found someone who seems to be the compatible person to share your life, the role of your parents or older family members’ starts. They would like to set up a meeting with the boy or girl, meet the parents and if all goes well, finalize the marriage.

Dating Someone That Does Not Share Your Indian Heritage

It is natural to think that you would only date and marry someone who shared your Indian heritage, but it is also possible that you love, date and marry someone who does not share your Indian heritage. In such a situation, several problems may arise from such matrimonial relationships.

Both the cultures of the people in the matrimonial relationship may clash in the future after you spend some time with each other. The cultural differences may create some problems between you two or your families. Anyone or both your families may not accept the relationship. In such Indian matrimonial situations, you need to understand that an open talk with your matrimonial partner or families can help in a great way. You need to talk about the possible matrimonial problems that may arise due to the different backgrounds of both the partners.

You may have found your date through online match making offered by Indian matrimonial sites. This is quite possible to find someone through the online match making, who does not share Indian heritage. The parents always expect that in case of matrimonial process, you always date and marry someone who shares Indian heritage. In such case, they will need some time to accept your matrimonial partner found through online matchmaking, who does not share the Indian heritage. Your partner also should understand that there may be the need of some more time in the relationship. Such matrimonial issues are not very easy to deal with and many couples falter here.

You need to approach the problems before they become too serious. When you decide to tell your family about the person you’re dating, who does not share the Indian heritage, try to approach the issue in the most positive way. Let them understand that your partner respect Indian heritage and brings happiness and peace to your life. Let your family know about all the great things about your partner.  Many families today accept such dating and matrimonial relationships, which is a great thing for the couple.

When is a good time to give him my number?

As soon as you register on an Indian matrimonial site or any of the NRI matrimonial, you are on the lookout of prospective grooms. After a few emails, you zero on a few prospective grooms, and have started chatting online, email them and then you need to talk to them directly on the phone.

This is a confusing situation as you may or may not be comfortable about giving your phone number just after a few chats or online interactions.

However, most of the quality matchmaking services offer privacy options and when you give your phone number is your prerogative. However, giving your phone number is your decision, but do consider a few points will help you keep safe and away from red flags.

  • Meet online, chat and even use the webcam during chat to study the body language of the person. If someone sounds desperate to get your phone number, be on your guard. It might turn out to a flake or a red flag.
  • Only consider giving your phone number after you are satisfied to a certain extend that the person sounds genuine. In most cases, chat at least 8-10 times before you think of giving out your phone number.
  • Be sure that you want to take the relationship to the next level with that person, before you get off the website and start calling up.
  • Talk to your family members, discuss with them and as each family has different outlook, it is best to go with the flow, before you give your number.
  • To be on the safe side, get a new SIM card instead of using your regular one and give that number to prospective grooms.
