Strained relationships - Make the right choice

One of my friend complained of an unpleasent situation prevailing in his home. He told that his mother, who is a working woman, asked him to step out of her house along with his wife and kid. He went on to say that this was not the first time but few more times earlier his mother comprehended this statement in many occasions. I enquired further and understood that there is big gap between his mother's expectations and his wife's reciprocations. This is indeed not new in joint system of family in our culture. In earlier days, i.e in male dominant days these incidents never rose to this level, but women sentiments were sacrificed and buried. Today, things are different. Women are at par with their partner both in education and in bringing wealth to the family. So side effects (both positive & negative) are bound to come as package whether fellow members of the family like it or not. But unfortunately, everyone welcomes only the wealth but not their evolution. This is the reason why such problems are repeated in each and every family we come across. Then, Can we say this kind of joint family system - a failure? Answer is Yes and No. Yes, as long as we fail to learn the sentiments of every individual. And, No if heed to their sentiments and address it. In our Life, there are only two choices to make in any kind of relationships. They are,

1. Either lose your ego, so as to win in relationship or

2. Lose your relationship, so as to win your ego.

Choice is ours. Let us make the right choice
