Better Halves

I couldn’t agree more with P. G. Bhaskar (“It’s a no contest. Wife 1, Me 0”, KT June 6, 2014) in his humorous take on losing battle with his better half, which carried a strong element of universal truth. But, don’t we enjoy losing to those whom we love? We gladly let our better halves win every argument and discussion. We dare not end any discussion on a winning note, lest we want to risk marital peace and bliss. And, let’s accept – our better halves are naturally wired to handle multiple tasks at the same time and are endowed with the gift of a superior sixth sense. Blessed, indeed, are those who realize this truth early in their married life.
