Marriage is a process by which two people unite with each other officially, socially and permanently. Once you have taken the saat pheras around the holy fire, you are glued with each other until death. Over the years, you might find them the most annoying person, you have ever met, but in reality, you cannot live without them. Your 'better-half' becomes the best part of your routine. And cricketer, Mahendra Singh Dhoni shares an exactly similar bond with his wife, Sakshi Dhoni.

Dhoni and Sakshi often share snippets from their 'happily married' life on their Instagram feeds. Last week, Sakshi had shared a cute video of her 'sweetie' on her Instagram handle. Alongside it, she had written, "#sweetieoftheday a little bit of embarrassment but worth watching him blush #thatsmile stay tuned for more." In the video, we could see her calling Dhoni with cute names and in the end, the cricketer melted with Sakshi's constant love.
Recently, Sakshi and Dhoni were off on a vacation to the Maldives. And she shared pictures from their beach day on her Instagram stories. In one of the picture, we can see the captain cool wearing a straw hat with his wife's name written over it. It was captioned as "Sweetie on Duty!" Take a look at their vacation pictures below:
A couple of days ago, Sakshi had shared pictures from their visit to Kanha National Park. In one of the pictures, we could see Dhoni putting a batch on her checkered shirt as she happily posed for the camera. Along with it, she had written, "Memories".

For those who don't know, it was on July 4, 2010, Dhoni and Sakshi had exchanged the wedding vows in the presence of their family. The duo hails from Ranchi and was in the same school and their fathers were working for the same company. But before Cupid could do his work, Sakshi's family got shifted to Dehradun. But as we say, true love knows how to find its way and that's exactly what happened with them. They met again after a decade in Kolkata at Taj Bengal (where Sakshi was doing her internship), during Team India's stay in November-December, 2007.
In an interview with the Wisden magazine, Dhoni had shared that Sakshi holds third place in his life. He had said, "I love my country. I tell my wife she is only the third most important thing after my country and my parents, in that order. The point is that while I am an Indian cricketer I will devote myself to that cause. Cricket is not everything, not by any means, but it is a large part of who I am. Therefore, I want to play in all formats of the game and to play as much as possible because before long it will be over. Then I’ll focus more on the Army!"
He had further added, "Sakshi provides the spark I might sometimes need. Jokes aside, she is the person to whom I have a reference. She is both loving and inspirational. Sometimes she travels with me, but cricket is easier without having to ensure her safe passage. One day, we will see the sights together and she says that then, can she please move to number two on the list of my priorities! But for the moment I am here to play cricket. I have been given this honour to play for my country so I want to see it through." (Don't Miss: Gauri Khan Overshadows Shah Rukh Khan As They Groove On Saadi Gali At Armaan And Anissa's Reception)
