The biggest challenge a marriage faces today? Anusha Dandekar Ramesh Deora Manu Hemdev Anusha Dandekar, Film Actress / VJ
I've never been married so I don't know whether it would be fair to comment on marriage. But from my observations of friends, and family I have noticed that expectations would be the biggest challenge a marriage faces. That and the inability to communicate one's feeling to another whether you're married or in a relationship. Today people expect more than our parents must have in their youth. Women expect their man to stand by them at all times, and men expect women to understand their every need. I think when the expectations are not met frustration sets in and all the feelings, that are bottled up inside, erupt. This leads to the third problem a marriage faces today, infidelity. When there is frustration, and expectations are high, then people tend to look elsewhere outside their relationship or marriage for fulfillment. I wouldn't say there is a mutually open consentful marriage, but most people I think are open minded in their attitude towards marriage to believe in their partners and themselves and when that is lacking the first signs of problems start to show.

Ramesh Deora, Businessman
I think the biggest problem is understanding. I am from a traditional Marwari family and that is something prevalent throughout. Times have changed and many advances have taken place, but tradition has not kept pace with the advancement. In my parent's time, things were different and society was more male-dominated. Today women, especially wives, have expectations, needs and desires that is a husband's duty to try and fulfill or at least compromise on.

Manu Hemdev, Jeweller
I think the biggest problem a marriage faces today is a difference of opinion. Its a case of not wanting to compromise and make adjustments that would lead to giving in between a husband and a wife. As compared to the time my wife and I got married people today have different mind sets. Our children who have graduated from college are definitely not going to enter a marriage with the same ideals that my wife and I did. Also, they will most likely, especially my daughter, expect a partnership in her relationship with her prospective husband and not look for someone who is going to be playing mind games and is controlling.
