I ONCE ASKED an educated person about his
family life. He replied that his family
was good and healthy. When I asked him
what his formula for success was, he replied, “Non-interference”. This meant that neither he, nor his wife
interfered in each others affairs.
I agree that this was the best principle
for maintaining harmony in the home. God has endowed man and woman with
different temperaments. Every man and
woman is different. Therefore, in a marriage, the relationship stems from two
different natures. And since God Himself
created this difference, we have no power to change it. Instead of making futile attempts to change
this difference, we should learn to adjust to it. This principle can be put into these words: The Art of Difference Management.
This difference is not an evil. There is great benefit hidden in it. Differences do not mean mere differences:
they should be seen as representing two different capabilities. If both men and women had uniform capabilities,
they would be able to achieve very little.
For, the absence of uniformity is the secret to intellectual
development. It has rightly been said,
“When everyone thinks alike, no one thinks very much.” Therefore, the policy of
non-interference is the best policy for a normal and happy life, both at home
and in the outside world.
