As our teen were growing up all we wanted was for them to stay away from the opposite sex. Romance and sex was a big “No, No” When they graduate from college we suddenly realize that we do not have any strategy to motivate them to find a spouse. Many of our early thirties feel so comfortable in bachelor life. Our dream of finding some nice boy / girl from a decent Jain family comes crashing down when we realize that some of do not know our own children, how are we to know others. Not only that but any discussion of this subject ends up in a bitter argument that we don’t know how to jump start the process.

Even though we did not know it our youth did have a relationship. Many of these ended up leaving a deep scar. Some of them are too scared to make a commitment – commitmento-phobia.
Also it is time to ask our selves as to, “have we prepared our boys and girls for a relationship?”
Our youth has no role model for romance and marriage. Bollywood or Hollywood does not depict the challenges in making marriage work. Parents’ marriage is something they do not want to emulate. So how do we go about addressing this important issue? If we fail in happy marriage now we will not have a happy family tomorrow.
