A young man from Britain, met me few years ago.
He wondered why our forefathers' marriages used to be happy even if marriages were arranged by parents and the girl and the boy had never seen each other before marriages.
Then he pointed out his personal problem. He was dating with many girls since two years but he was unable to find his soulmate.
Then I explained to him "Tiger and Goat Theory" which I had read in some Behaviour Psychology book..
Some psychologists put one tiger and one goat together in one cage. After two years, the Tiger and Goat began to love each other. Tiger never hurt goat.
The principle is, even if a boy and a girl may have incompatible natures, but if they are forced to live under one roof for two years, then the love begins to forge between them.
The young man after hearing this story, went back to London. I also forgot the incident.
Then one day I received a message that he has accepted my "Tiger and Goat theory" and he has now got married.
They are at presently living happily in Singapore and they also have a child.
In most of the cases of broken marriage which I have seen, the husband and wife never lived together for 2 years ( 730 days) under one roof. They had broken relationship before this 2 years period necessary to forge lasting love between them was over.
