Balance is key

Afunambulist must keenly focus in order to walk a tightrope, especially when simultaneously performing other balancing acts. A simple moment of indiscretion could cause him to lose balance, topple, and though there may me a safety net, he would have lost the confidence of onlookers.

Balance is key in each aspect of life, and especially for the arrangement of marriage. Why, though, is a balanced approach to marriage necessary? And why should individuals contemplating marriage ponder on such matters of balance before setting out on, what should be, a life-long walk on this tightrope.

Recognising this, a balanced person sees the need for hard work to overcome weak areas, and can be empathetic to the idiosyncrasies and failings of others. Such a person is, no doubt, preparing himself well to understand the needs and limitations of the one to whom he or she will later marry.

Little wonder we see adolescents just wanting to have things their way, all unconcerned that the feelings of others may be hurt in the mix. Can you envision them as adults and getting married? Likely, such a marriage would be heading for a fall, since it’s all about their likes, dismissing the needs of others.
