    Before marriage, when both people are living separately, love feels different. There is excitement, longing, attention and that constant feeling of missing each other. Even small quarrels usually don't become too serious because both still have their own space. After marriage, it is a completely different chapter. You are living together every day, seeing each other's habits, dealing with money, responsibilities, family, expectations and everyday stress. The excitement slowly becomes normal life, and that is where patience, understanding and adjustment really matter. I also feel old-school love cannot always be compared with today's relationships. Earlier, people often built their bond through years of struggle, responsibility and commitment. Today, expectations can sometimes be more materialistic and relationships can be less patient. Love doesn't always disappear after marriage. Sometimes the love fever disappears, and what remains is the real test of whether two people can respect, understand and stand by each other.

    Education has become largely about providing information and acquiring knowledge. However, the true purpose of education should be to build a better human being—one with strong moral values, principles, civic sense, and responsible behavior. Education should shape our attitude, teach us to care for others, develop respect and empathy, and guide us to become responsible and compassionate members of society
