Echoes of Undying Love: The Timeless Tale of Shirin and Farhad

Once upon a time, in the heart of ancient Persia, there lived a beautiful princess named Shirin, and a humble stonemason named Farhad. Their tale is a classic love story that has echoed through Persian history and literature, a testament to the power of love, even when faced with insurmountable obstacles.

Shirin, with her mesmerizing beauty and intelligence, was sought after by many suitors, but none could win her heart. One day, she heard of Farhad, a stonemason known for his strength and his soulful poetry. Intrigued by his passion for his craft and the depth of his verses, she found herself drawn to him.

As their paths crossed, an intense connection sparked between them. They spent long hours together, him reciting his poetry, her listening attentively, their bond deepening with each passing moment. However, their love was not to be celebrated, for Shirin was of royal blood, and Farhad, a mere stonemason.

Despite societal norms, their love blossomed. But, as news of their affair reached the king, he devised a plan to separate them. He commanded Farhad to carve a path through the mountain using just his tools and strength, promising him Shirin’s hand in marriage upon completion. Farhad, in his love for Shirin, accepted the challenge without hesitation.

Days turned into months, and months into years, Farhad relentlessly chiseled away at the mountain, his love for Shirin fueling his resolve. Back at the palace, Shirin waited, her heart aching for Farhad.

In a cruel twist of fate, a rumor was spread that Shirin had died, reaching Farhad’s ears. Shattered, he threw himself off the mountain, choosing to join his beloved in death.

Upon hearing of Farhad’s death, Shirin was devastated. Unable to bear the loss, she took her own life, reuniting with her beloved Farhad in death, their love story forever echoing through the mountains of Persia.

The tragic story of Shirin and Farhad remains a timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and the power of the human spirit when fueled by undying love. It is an enduring symbol of passionate love, echoing generation after generation, inspiring young hearts to love fiercely, passionately, and unconditionally.

How To Put Your Husband Before Anyone Else

01. Make marriage a commitment

Take a look at your schedules and see when you can make time for just the two of you. Make a date night a regular occurrence. Even if it’s only once a month, it can be really beneficial to your marriage.

02. Spouses are partners and mates, not neighbors.

You and your partner get so preoccupied with things other than each other that you drift apart. You initially feel quite busy, but after a while, you begin to feel like neighbors. You get into a pattern, thinking it’s just a stage. It is a stage, and you are correct: it is the start of the end. The children are pretty much gone, and you didn’t recall why you married so young.

03. There is no one else who will prioritize you.

My hubby is the type who prioritizes others over himself. That is one of his qualities that I appreciate. It can, however, be both a good and bad thing for him. So I want to do everything I can to make sure he is well-cared for and that his wants and needs are met.

04. Keeping my husband first does not imply that my children will suffer.

It’s okay if you think I’m a little nuts for prioritizing my marriage over everything else. You and I both care deeply about your children. However, we must keep in mind that prioritizing our husbands does not automatically mean our children will be mistreated, disregarded, or beaten.

4 Reasons Why Nice Guys Finish Last

01. They lack experience.

Men who have never been in a long-term relationship and experienced the heartbreak that comes with it are prone to overcommitting. They go too far and try to do too much. For women, this can be a real downer. A lack of experience is clear, and it frequently entails a lot of unappealing characteristics, such as roughness, anxiety, and poor humor, to name a few.

02. Overly Agreeable.

Nice guys frustrate themselves because they are too nice to express their true opinions. Other times, they may keep their rage bottled up and let it loose all of a sudden.

03. They don’t have what it takes to be a leader.

A man who is unable to lead will always be in the backseat of life. He may aspire to be a leader, but he never puts in the effort necessary to seize the initiative. To make matters worse, he will wait until it is too late to ask a girl out, at which point he will complain about how unfair life is.

04. They are looking for wonders.

Nice guys are always looking to the future for a brighter future, whether it’s by generating more revenue or getting a better career, but they do nothing to modify their behavior in the present.

Top 5 Perks of Being Single

In the words of lovely British author, Warsan Shire – My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude. I could not have said it better myself, girl. Being single is no longer considered a crime against humanity. Times are changing and independence, even in the love department, is no longer looked down upon. Singledom and the self-love that comes along with it, is the hip, new trend – and it has staying power. While remaining relationship-free has plenty of benefits, today we bring you the top 5 perks of being single.

01.You Have Less of a Financial Burden

Money, money, money, money….monneeeyyyy. Okay, now that I got that out of my system, it is no secret that the almighty dollar (or pound, for my British friends) is what makes the world go round. And having more cash is never a bad thing, am I right? Well, when you are single, you tend to have less of a financial burden, not to mention the freedom to be able to spend it on what you want, when you want.

02.On a Wish, You Can Travel

Feel like spending the summer in Spain? Jetting off to the pristine beaches of Fiji (expensive, yes, but please reference the point made above)? Deciding to fly off to Europe on a whim can be complicated when you have a significant other to worry about. Singletons don’t necessarily have to be concerned with others’ opinions about their travel plans. Not only does being single afford you more funds to work with, but it also means that you can go wherever your independent little heart desires.

03.You Can Flirt Without Panic

That gorgeous waiter? That hot chick at the bar? Feel free to flirt freely. Flirting is pretty natural, almost a human instinct, however, it can be considered inappropriate when in a relationship (and rightly so!). BUT, when you have no commitment to anyone else, you can flirt endlessly and without shame. In fact, it is to be expected.

04.You Can Contribute in More Meaningful Ways

When you are not getting fulfillment from a romantic relationship, you tend to look for other positive ways to find it. Many singles tend to be more willing to contribute their time to worthy and meaningful causes. Volunteering, donating time, and/or money to charity, you name it – because they have to focus on themselves to be fulfilled, single people generally add their contributions in more meaningful ways.

05.You Can Value Your Passions

When we begin a relationship, we are, in essence, relinquishing a part of ourselves. Whether it be putting aside a hobby, or not having time to do the things that we enjoy, compromise pretty much ensures that something is going to need to be sacrificed. When you are truly living for just you (which is what the single life is all about), you can invest yourself in, and value your passions.

Being single is no longer something to be ashamed of. It is no longer expected that we MUST get married, have 2.5 kids, and purchase that suburban house with the white picket fence. It is not only now acceptable but actually encouraged, to find out who you are and what you want in life before jumping into a requisite relationship. Choosing the single life has ceased to become something you need to be ashamed of, it is now simply a badge of independence.

07 Tips to Impress Your Husband & Fascinate Him Even More

Marriage is a beautiful thing, but admittedly, as time goes on, the spark can somewhat sizzle out. The love is still there, of course, but the passion needs to be reignited. You want your husband to look at you like he used to, you want to get his attention, and it is completely understandable – but how do you do that? No worries, we’ve got you. Keep reading for our 7 tips to not only impress your beloved husband but fascinate him even more.

07.Be Adventurous

After several years of marriage, you tend to settle into a routine. This usually affects all aspects of your life and is completely natural. However, mixing it up a bit could really impress the hubby, particularly if you put an emphasis on the bedroom activities.

06.Take An Interest

Showing an actual interest in what he likes, such as his hobbies, can rekindle the connection between the two of you. Do a little bit of research on his favorite sports team so that the next time a game is on, you can enjoy it together and actually participate in the experience. Imagine his shock and awe when you can intelligibly debate the team statistics!

05.Be the Best You

Put something on that makes you feel beautiful. Do your makeup and hair. Spritz on your favorite perfume (or his!). Looking your best is not only enticing for the man in your life but it can also boost your confidence.

04.Plan a Man-Friendly Date Night

Planning a date around stuff that he will enjoy will show that you are willing to go the extra mile for him. As a bonus, it’ll be one date he is not in a rush to end so there will be plenty of quality time spent together.

03.Be Flirty

Do you remember when you first met your husband? The excitement, those butterflies in your stomach? You can get there again and it’s as simple as letting your feelings take the lead. Flirt with him like you did when you initially got together.

02.Tell Him What You Want

Falling into a cycle can mean that you tend to go with the flow regardless if you truly want to or not. This also can result in a lack of communication leading to distance in the relationship. Tell your husband exactly what you want – in and out of the bedroom. Impress him with your boldness and restart the fire.

01.Be Confident

Confidence is sexy and the more confident you are the more appealing you become. When you truly feel good about yourself, it shows, and that, in itself, is incredibly sexy. In his eyes, you are the most beautiful woman on the planet – own it, and dazzle him with your prowess.

All relationships have their ups and downs, and every good one takes work. If you are willing to put the effort in, which you obviously are judging by your choice in reading material, then the relationship is worth saving. And with that, we leave you with the poignant words of American Journalist, Mignon McLaughlin, “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
