Relationship essentiality - Privacy is important

Privacy is an important freedom that every individual on this earth yearns for and has the right to get it. Many of us would never want our privacy to be invaded by anyone and those are the times when we lose our temper. Even in a relationship, privacy is a major component and at times the very survival of the relationship comes under attack due to lack of privacy. Quite often, we hear stories of men and women facing quite an embarrassing situation when their long hidden secrets are let out in the open by their close associates. This invasion of the privacy of an individual causes lot of friction among people who are involved in the relationship, be it just friends, professional associates, lovers or spouses.

Most of the people do have a corner in the heart that stores their deepest secrets of life. The secrets may not necessarily be bad but it could be some interesting memories that the individual love to cherish. We behold the key to this secret corner and it’s our wish to give a gate pass to those we trust to gain access to this corner. When we get really comfortable with a person and trust them more than our soul, we are sure to let them peek into our discreet segment of the heart. This segment is protected by our own soul and we need lot of privacy and never want anybody to enter it without the proper access channel.

If we trust a person and pour out the emotions and happy moments that has been long cherished and preserved in our hearts, there is a lot of privacy that is required in this process. Quite often people do not understand the concept of privacy and such secrets are let out in the public for fun and excitement. This affects the individuals’ emotional balance and is shattered knowing the fact that his privacy has been invaded and loses his long instilled trust on the person too.

Trust and privacy go hand in hand. Only when we trust a person do we allow the person to get into our privacy circle. When the circle is broken by the other person then the trust is naturally broken too. In a husband and wife relation, the term privacy occupies even more importance. Life is a combined concept for both of them and so is privacy. That’s the reason, many psychologists are of the opinion that couples need to spend a lot of time together in privacy. Only when there is a good privacy provided for them, the couples reveal their inner feelings and they get to know each other in a much better manner making their bond even stronger.

Joint family concept that is prevailing in India can hamper the privacy of coupes to some extent. But the couples must understand that privacy is a strong foundation that is essential to sustain their relationship. Lack of privacy may lead to lack of communication and this in turn leads to grudge among the couples.

For any couple, privacy is a matter of strong foundation that keeps the relation in strong bonds.
