As prabhu mentioned, we talked a lot about what our goals were. You know, before getting married, we wanted to make sure that we were in sync—what we wanted to do with our lives, how we wanted to serve our Gurudeva and the mission. We found that we had a lot of things in common.

Of course, when you’re young and you get married, you don’t know what’s going to happen down the road. So we have always kept Kṛṣṇa in the center. Whatever was best for our service to our Gurudeva, and whatever helped us to remember and serve Kṛṣṇa, that’s how we made our decisions — whatever was best for our service. Throughout life, we all have big decisions to make, right? We’ve always made those big decisions based on what was best for our service.

I guess some of the principles are learning how to communicate well with each other, to understand that we’re in each other’s corner. We support each other. We have each other’s back, so to speak. It’s a rough world out there, and you want to know that when you come home, you have someone who is there to support you.I don’t mean just saying, “You’re always right,” or something like that, but showing love and support. Learn how to communicate with each other so that you truly understand what the other is saying because we have different ways of communicating. In the first year or two of our marriage, that was the thing we worked on the most: clear and honest communication.

We have disagreements. We don’t have fights, but we have disagreements, and we can work them out. We can talk it out. I feel really fortunate to have someone who always has that mentality. As I said, the big thing was making sure that our goals were in line and that we stayed true to those goals. And it has worked well for us.
