'Naughty Forty Teen'

Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.

A few days back I had a family reunion on the silver wedding anniversary of one of my cousin sisters.
As I entered the venue I could feel that love was in the air. The venue had very loving vibes.
As a couple my cousin sister and brother-in-law always shared a beautiful understanding and compatibility.
Even after long twenty five years of married life their love and respect seems to have grown for each other.
Joy and happiness was all around. Wishes seemed pouring even from the Heaven on the 'made for each other' couple.
All the brothers and sisters who had gathered were enjoying a lovely beautiful afternoon together.
My brother shared a witty yet a nice phrase on the occasion. He and my sister-in-law had also recently completed thirteen years of their blissful married life together.

He said that people who are above forty and have also completed more than thirteen years of marriage are now 'Naughty Forty Teen'.
The phrase was quite striking and it immediately caught my attention. After listening to this phrase, though everyone had a nice laugh, it became a thought-provoking phrase for me.
It could be the crux to lead a happy and long married life.
Naughty at forty, follows a famous adage that states that 'Men become naughty after forty'.
To this I always believe and add that the ladies become even more pretty after forty.
The reference point of the teen was the beginning of the teenage of a married life.
Forty years is the age to start enjoying a new beginning of our life.
To cherish and enjoy a new phase of our life.
It is an age to relaunch and reinvent ourself.
I feel that this is the time to pamper ourself by becoming even more conscious of our physical being and appearance.
Working-out hard to remain fit and healthy should be our priority.
We have to grow in maturity by becoming mentally stronger and tougher.
Spiritually too we have to grow by promising ourselves to value this life even more everyday.
'Naughty Forty Teen' is the beginning of the teenage of a married life.
Thirteen years of togetherness and companionship.
Having the maturity of forty but still enjoying the youthful energy of a thirteen year old.
Excitement, anxiety, passion enthusiasm of married life.
I was looking at the all the happy faces of the married couples who were enjoying their teens of marriage.
Seeing them it felt like life is too short to lead it very seriously. So a bit of naughtiness and wittiness is really required to keep a lighter and a happier mood in a married life.
Love and charm of a youthful couple has to always exist to remain young by enjoying a blissful journey with your life partner.
Having a feeling of affection and a loving dependence by growing together in understanding and mutual respect for each other. I feel that after attaining the age of forty and completion of more than a decade of married life, it is definitely a start to a new beginning.
It is one of the most beautiful phases of our life.
Seeing our children grow and together we grow with each other's support in life. A beautiful phase of life where missing each other the whole day and really wishing to be together again after a long busy day.
Smilingly waiting for each other with brightness and twinkle in the eyes like a teenager.
Being together as soulmates is the most beautiful and pious relation.
Being a 'Naughty Forty Teen' by enjoying the flavour and variety in married life. 'Naughty Forty Teen', made me feel even more attached to my soulmate, the person who we start knowing even more with age and loving more with every passing moment of life by growing young together.
