There are many emotions and feelings and occasions in our life when we don't like what our parents have decided for us and we think that they have put us through hell. If I tell about my experience, I never thought in my life that the decision my parents made for me might prove wrong for me. I have always believed that my parents wanted the best for me. There is a well known saying that respect your parents' decision they spend more time in the world than you.

Sometimes our parents force their decision on us, and we have to accept it. At the moment we feel that decision might be wrong but in future it will prove right. Such things are very common in Pakistan where parents marry off their children without asking them, which turns out to be like pushing the children into a hell. I have seen it happen with many of my cousins and my friends that their lives are in the hands of their parents, their partner also wants to choose their choice, they are neither asked nor told. Sometimes parents only allow their children to see each other on the wedding day and they meet on the first day in their room on the wedding night. You may find it strange to read this, but many areas in Pakistan are still very conservative.
With this scenario in mind, let me tell you the story of my cousin who got married a few months ago. My cousin's name is Tania, whose story I will tell you. This girl did everything according to her parents' opinion but she was completely unhappy.
Tania's parents decide to marry her with a guy whom she doesn't want to marry because she doesn't even know him properly. She even had a dream at night that she was scared of a cat and her father forcefully put the cat beside her.
It's all result of her imagination because she just believe in her heart that a random person never be able to love her and might harm her but her parent's decision was strong so she got married and she got married so quickly that months turned into days.
Same fear was still in her heart but the person whom her parents decided for her was not a normal human being.
He was her soulmate and he never let her leave alone. He loves her so much and proof the words that great marriages are built brick by brick, day after day over lifetime and then she realize that decision of her parents were best for her and cat which her father put beside her will always love her so much and never make her feel as she do once.
According to me, 99 percent of love marriages are troubled failures within Pakistan. Arrange marriage even if your parents forced you temporarily but their decision will never be wrong for you because they have gained so much experience in their life that they will never think bad for their children and will never choose the personality that will be bad for you.
So respect decisions of your parents they are the only one who think good for you. After that, whenever I see love for me in my parents' eyes, I feel very blessed and lucky. I don't know if everyone thinks like me or not, but when I saw my parents, I always thanked them for bringing me up so much that I can now take off from myself in their favor. My father has always been my strength and my mother my right arm who has always stood by me and always supported me and pulled me out of every difficulty. Although this works with a supportive partner, I don't need a partner because my parents are the best for me.
I can't imagine my life without them because they have been with me every step of the way and I can't thank them enough. I know I love my parents more than anyone else but I think every parent deserves as much love as I give them, they deserve an unconditional love because they have sacrificed so much for us. From keeping nine months in your body to sacrificing everything for us.
Do you love your parents as much as I love my parents or am I just too loving?
