A Love That Grows Stronger
Vivek and Priyanka, who met through an arranged marriage setup in 2010, share a deep bond that continues to thrive. «I have been madly in love with my wife for the last 14 years.» His unwavering affection for Priyanka is evident in the way he admires her even during simple moments, such as watching her apply makeup. «When she catches me looking at her, it’s a different kind of romantic,» he said.
Vivek reminisced about his elaborate proposal to Priyanka in Florence, where he surprised her with a carriage ride, music, and a heartfelt poem. However, he acknowledged that long-term relationships thrive on smaller, thoughtful gestures. He explained that when you are younger, you think of grand gestures, but over time, it’s the little things that show love and care".
Parenting Through Example
For Vivek, marriage is much more than a romantic relationship—it’s a partnership rooted in trust, respect, and teamwork. He said that marriage teaches you compassion and respect. It’s about working as a team and ensuring that respect is present in private and public settings. He emphasized that children learn about relationships by observing their parents. They see how you treat your partner and absorb those behaviors. If you’re respectful and loving, they’ll grow up understanding what a healthy relationship looks like.
