Once, mornings were a constant battle for me. I'd hit the snooze button over and over, then rush out of bed. My mornings were chaotic and uninspiring. I was stuck and didn't see how it was affecting my day. But, I decided to take control of my mornings.

To understand a woman, is it more important to understand sex or her mind first?
A woman's life is like a flower bud that changes into a beautiful flower with her increasing age, and she gives the juice of her youth to only one gardener for the rest of her life, but in today's era, girls use their bodies as a bribe. And many girls keep their bodies hidden from everyone; they do not let anyone drink the juice of their youth, even if it is her husband. Yes, our story today is exactly about this. A girl who went to her in-laws after marriage and what happened after that. To understand any woman, first her mind or her body should be understood. A woman's sex starts not from her vagina but from her mind. Whereas a man's sex starts not from his mind but from his genitals. My mother-in-law taught me this. My marriage was fixed with Saransh. His family members came to the temple near my house to see me. I was a girl who did not go out much, and my friends also did not have any goals. Saransh had told his parents that if they liked the girl, they should say yes to the marriage. I also left everything to my parents. After three months, our engagement was fixed. Saransh gave his phone number, and we started talking. During our talks, I did not know when our discussion reached physical pleasure. Then we met many times secretly, sometimes in the village temple and sometimes on some pretext. This trend of ours continued before marriage; during this time we had a lot of fun, and my friends also had fun. Those were the same friends who never liked Saransh. One day we met like every day; that day I saw a change in Saransh's behaviour, which was the first time. He was touching me again and again on some pretext or the other, which I did not like at all, and I refused him in front of everyone, due to which he felt bad and went away. After he left, my friends told me a lot that he is your future husband; well, I regretted a lot about what happened, and I was embarrassed about it. Then that day also came, which everyone was waiting for, the wedding day; everything happened well. But after marriage, on the first night of the wedding, Saransh started touching me again, but I was not ready for this. I told him that I needed some time. It was embarrassing for me too, but I did not want to do anything without inner consent. One week passed like this, and Saransh became rude towards me. I knew what the reason for this was, but I could not understand how to fix it. Many days passed like this, but I could not understand what to do and what not to do so that the rift between us ends. One day my mother-in-law asked me if everything was fine or not. At first I refused, but then I could not hold back my tears and told her everything. She explained to me, "Bahu, sex is very important for a boy. It assures him that you are completely his. Do not force, but physical pleasure contributes a lot to a good marital relationship." After this, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law explained to Saransh that for a woman, sex does not start from below but from the mind. He asked Saransh to spend more time with me and try to be friends instead of pressuring me. Slowly, Saransh started taking care of me. His love started showing in small things. In return, I started getting closer to him. Then we both did everything that a couple does, and we both started giving time to each other. We did not know when we both became two bodies and one soul. Saransh also understood that for a woman, sex is not just a physical act, but it goes through her mind. If it were not for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, my marriage would not have lasted even two months. Their support and understanding saved my marriage. Nowadays, people look for boys who live separately from their parents. But the truth is that living together in a family can become a solution to many problems. There are some restrictions in a family, but their benefits are countless, which are much more important than these restrictions.
