Well, I have seen many a couples fighting over small petty things, and always feel bad about it. Although not an expert, I am sharing here whatever I have learnt from scriptures, good people, and of course, my parents.
'Men are from Mars, women from venus'. Yet the mars-venus relationship is the most perfect ones in the world. Man completes the woman. Woman completes the man.
And when the relationship is given that stamp of legality, it becomes the purest of relations. Purer than anything else. Man becomes a husband, woman a wife.
Its bizzare that two strangers, who till now were lost in their own worlds of family, friends, and career, suddenly reach the state where they, so easily, give up their self and vow to live together. Where they vow to tolerate each other for life. And to care. And to respect. Its pure bliss.
So what are the husband's responsibilities towards his wife. Well, to say the least, the husband must be his wife's best friend. Never in his life should he disrespect her. He should consider his wife to be his better half. He should provide her with all the amenities to live a decent life. The wife has been described in scriptures as 'ardha-angini', and for some good reason. She is her man's shakti, which enables him to face the world. A husband should be single-minded in the devotion towards his wife.
What about the wife ? Well it is said, that given a house, a woman turns it into a home. So, the wife should be to a husband what oxygen is for life. She should stand by her husband in times of happiness, as well as in times of distress..

Question is, how often do I see people adhering to the above principles. That is the reason of all miseries in relationships. Believe me, even Lord Buddha couldn't understand this...
