Newly married couple
Marriage is a life-long commitment that requires patience, trust and understanding to work --- however, do you know that apart from this, there are other things that a couple should avoid doing in order for their marriage to be successful? Read on to know what these things are:
Pilgrimage
If you are going for your honeymoon, make sure that it is not a pilgrimage place where you are going.
Lord Shiva
If by chance, you actually do visit a pilgrimage, avoid going to a place with Lord's Shiva reverence, since that is considered to be inauspicious.
Free from maya
The reason for this is that Lord Shiva, even though married to Parvati was known to be aloof and free from maya. If a couple visits a Shiv revered place in the first year of marriage and the girl gets pregnant, then the child born too, will be aloof and away from maya.
Shivling
It is exactly because of this reason that a woman should avoid touching a Shivling in the first year of the marriage. After the first year is complete, there is no such restriction.
Goddess Parvati
Instead of the shivling, women, during the first year of the marriage should pray to Goddess Parvati for the health and well being of her entire family.
Visiting a shivling
If a couple is visiting a shivling together, then for a few days, they should avoid having physical relations with each other to avoid conceiving a child. Let us now learn about some Vastu tips for a happy married life.
Bedroom
Your bedroom should be in the south-west corner of the house and the south east corner must be avoided at all costs since that leads to clashes between the couple.
Bed
Similarly, the bed should be placed in the southwest portion of the bedroom. Avoid placing the bed in northern and eastern zone of the bedroom.
Sleeping
For sleeping, you should sleep on a wooden bed and your head should be kept in the south west direction.
Square
Your bedrooms should not be built in haphazard shapes, stick to rectangular or square shaped bedrooms only.
Wall colour
You should make use of colours such as green, light blue, rose pink to paint your bedroom. Avoid red.
Kitchen
When it comes to the kitchen, you should place the gas cylinder in South-east and water source in North-east or North direction.
Money
When it comes to your money, you should keep it in the northern or eastern area of the house. This it is said to attract more money into your life.
Newly married couple
Do not use a Northeast bedroom in case you are newly wed couple. Doing so leads to ego clashes between a newly married couple.
Beam lights
You should avoid placing your bed under a strong beam light --- this is said to lead to ill effects on your health.
Mirror
A mirror should ideally not be placed in a young couple's bedroom -- this leads to ego clashes and quarrels.
Other items
Similarly things like TV and computer too reflect like a mirror. If you need to use any of the two make sure to turn them off and cover it before you go to sleep.
Water tank
Your underground water tank should not be placed in the south-west direction.
Paintings
Avoid hanging paintings that signify death, violence and depression in any area of your house -- these are likely to make you feel the same way too.
