Prita Maitra – Editor in chief of Westland - about Dr. Nagaswami

“….in assessing the success of Vijay Nagaswami's two titles in Westland's series dwelling on the 'The New Indian Marriage' so far, The 24 X 7 Marriage and The Fifty-50 Marriage, one should start with the numbers, which are always telling!The first has already sold 15,000 copies and the second 7,000 + and counting.

Dr Nagaswami's fluent and non-judgemental style invites the confidence of readers who have previously been at a loss coming to terms with the changing demands of an equal marriage in India today. In a country which is increasingly looking to professional guidance -- rather than parental dictates -- in terms of choosing (and keeping) a spouse, he has rendered priceless advice…”

Importance of marital harmony and life space balance

A balance in life spaces is a must - for productive work life and enriched personal life

Early in career, work assumes greater significance

Marriage puts pressure on work equation.. reaching a balance becomes a struggle

A little later, work demands increase and marital equation gets disturbed

Result – life space balance is lost

Too many demands on self.A vicious cycle sets in.Productivity drops.Enthusiasm gets hit.General feeling of well-being reduces

Optimal investment in two important lifespaces is key to success

Optimal investment in work space gives

feeling of productivity

Self esteem

Lifestyle

Status

Optimal investment in marriage space gives

sense of self-worth and contentment

opportunity to re-charge ourselves

feeling of groundedness & rootedness

While workspace (survival) is taken care of, marriage space (happiness) is not…

work space taken care of we receive adequate training to achieve whatever the workspace promises us

Relationship space is

ignored

we pretty much wing it,

hoping things will magically

become better in the years to

come

they rarely do, and emotional

baggage full of unresolved

conflicts accumulate

and neither partner has the

tools to deal with them, since

factory-set defaults don’t

work very well

Enriching the marital space is done by

Increased connectedness and intimacy

creating and respecting ‘i’ and ‘we’ spaces

learning how to solve problems together

defining a marriage template that works for both of them
