“Marriage is not an overnight thing, you have to nurture it to help it grow. There is understanding, loyalty, respect and love involved from both sides. There is a give and take, and of course, there are fights. And of course, everyone thinks if they were single, life would be easier. There is no such expression as happily married, either they are happy, or they are married. In my case, I am married, and my wife is happy. Nevertheless, this arrangement is very nice.”
