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
10
A balance in life spaces is a must - for
productive work life and enriched personal life
11
Early in career, work assumes greater
significance
12
Marriage puts pressure on work equation..
reaching a balance becomes a struggle
13
A little later, work demands increase and marital
equation gets disturbed
14
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

15
Optimal investment in two important lifespaces
is key to success

• Optimal investment in work space gives

• Optimal investment in marriage space gives

• feeling of productivity
• Self esteem
• Lifestyle
• Status

• sense of self-worth and contentment
• opportunity to re-charge ourselves
• feeling of groundedness rootedness

16
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 dont work very well

17
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
