IMPORTANT RULES FOR BOTH MAN AND WOMAN.‏‏

A chaste woman should not be greedy, but satisfied in all circumstances. She must be very expert in handling household affairs and should be fully conversant with religious principles. She should speak pleasingly and truthfully and should be very careful and always clean and pure. Thus a chaste woman should engage with affection in the service of a husband who is not fallen.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---7:11:28---purport).

A man should not be attached to a woman, nor should a woman be attached to a man. Both man and woman should be attached to the service of the Lord. Then there is the possibility of liberation from material entanglement for both of them.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---3:31:41---purport).

A woman should be a faithful servant of her husband, and if the husband is spiritually advanced, the woman will automatically get the opportunity to enter the spiritual world.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---9:6:55---purport).

According to Manu-saṁhitā, a woman needs a great deal of protection in order to remain pure and chaste so that her children can be fully engaged for the benefit of human society.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---5:2:21---purport).

Not only was mother Sītā powerful, but any woman who follows in the footsteps of mother Sītā can also become similarly powerful. There are many instances of this in the history of Vedic literature.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---9:10:27---purport).

Although Lord Sri Kṛṣṇa was constantly by their sides, as well as exclusively alone, His feet appeared to them to be newer and newer. The goddess of fortune, although by nature always restless and moving, could not quit the Lord's feet. So what woman can be detached from those feet, having once taken shelter of them?
(Srimad Bhagavatam---1:11:33---purport).

The wife should not be proud of her parental position. She must always be submissive to the husband and must give up all vanity. As soon as the wife becomes proud of her parentage, her pride creates great misunderstanding between the husband and wife, and their nuptial life is ruined.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---3:23:3---purport).

The best course for a woman is to abide by the orders of her husband. That makes family life very peaceful. Sometimes there may be misunderstandings between husband and wife, as found even in such an elevated family relationship as that of Satī and Lord Śiva, but a wife should not leave her husband's protection because of such amisunderstanding. If she does so, it is understood to be due to her womanly weakness.
(Srimad Bhagavatam---4:4:3---purport).

The wife of King Purañjana was lying on the ground because she was neglected by her husband. Actually the woman must always be protected by her husband. We always speak of the goddess of fortune as being placed on the chest of Nārāyaṇa. In other words, the wife must remain embraced by her husband. Thus she becomes beloved and well protected. Just as one saves his money and places it under his own personal protection, one should similarly protect his wife by his own personal supervision. Just as intelligence is always within the heart, so a beloved chaste wife should always have her place on the chest of a good husband. This is the proper relationship between husband and wife. A wife is therefore called ardhāṅganī, or half of the body. One cannot remain with only one leg, one hand or only one side of the body. He must have two sides. Similarly, according to nature's way, husband and wife should live together. In the lower species of life, among birds and animals, it is seen that by nature's arrangement the husband and wife live together. It is similarly ideal in human life for the husband and wife to live together. The home should be a place for devotional service, and the wife should be chaste and accepted by a ritualistic ceremony. In this way one can become happy at home.
(Srimad Bhagavatam----4:26:17----purport).

    Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.
    May you receive transcendental blessings,
    grace and mercy from the Supreme Personality
    of  Godhead, Lord Krishna. I offer my respectful
    obeisances unto Him. As women, we can sense 
    information based on gut feelings. We can sense
    when something is troubling our children; when
    speaking to a relative or friend, we can sense when
    they are hiding something, or not telling the full
    truth. We can sense when someone in the family
    is telling a lie. Studies in brain imaging show that
    women have larger areas in the brain dedicated
    to tract gut feelings, specifically areas deep in the
    frontal lobes called the insula and anterior cingulate
    gyrus. A woman`s brain is generally quicker at
    assessing the thoughts of others based on limited
    information, gut feelings and hunches.  With love
    and best wishes, take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

    obeisances unto Him. As women, we tend to use
    broader connections in the brain, whereas men`s
    brains tend to be more localized. The greater
    density of white matter in the areas of the brain
    related to intelligence means that we are more
    likely to make more connections between different
    parts of our brain. Compared to men, we dip more
    into our right side, which is thought to be the seat
    of emotions. This allows us to pick up on more
    signs and connect them without even being aware
    that we are doing so. With love and best wishes,
    take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

    obeisances unto Him. An intuition or knowing
    something without knowing how you know it,
    is a strong asset especially for a woman (a woman`s
    intuition). Without our being aware of where the
    information came from or the reasoning process
    behind it, intuition presents a conclusion to the
    conscious mind.  With love and best wishes, take

    Love,  most  Caring  and most Loving and most

    things together, the excitement of  doing things
    together. Love is the source of your future together.
    Love is giving and taking in a daily situation, being
    patient with each other`s needs. Love is the source
    of sharing. Love is knowing that the other person
    will always be with you regardless of what happens.
    Love is missing the other person when  the other
    person is away, but remaining near in heart at all
    times. Love makes you feel secure. With love and
    best wishes, take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

    other person, accepting  the other  person just
    the way the other  person is, and not  trying  to
    change the other person against the other person`s
    will, to be something else. Love is the  source of
    unity. Love is  the  freedom to pursue  your own
    goals while sharing your experience with the other
    person. It is the growth of one individual alongside
    of, and together with the growth of another individual.
    Love is the source of success.  With  love and best

    is the  source of strength of each other. Love
    is being  honest  with  yourself at  all  times. 
    Being honest with the other person at all times,
    talking,  listening,  respecting  the  truth  and

    room  to  grow.  We  all  need our  time  alone.
    Through your life together,  you will  feel  hurt
    and pain, and you will  feel laughter and pleasure.
    You will feel all of life`s ups and downs. You will
    learn and grow through trial and error. The lessons
    will show you the meaning of true love and the
    difference between a love that lasts and one that 
    just gives up. You will face each failure together 
    and  discover the  strength to  go on. You  will
    encourage each other  and forgive  each other`s
    faults. Through a labour of love, you will become
    as one, struggling against all odds and ultimately
    creating a marriage that is full  of care, love and

    May you receive transcendental blessings,
    grace and mercy from the God of Gods,
    the Lord of Lords, the God of love, the
    Lord of all the mystics, the Supreme
    Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna.
    Among all creations, He is the beginning
    and the end and also the middle. Of all
    the sciences, He is the Spiritual science
    of the self. Among logicians, He is the
    conclusive Truth. I offer my respectful
    obeisances unto Him. Blame is very harmful.
    When we blame something or someone else
    for the problems in our lives, we make it
    difficult to do anything to change our situation.
    Many relationships are ruined by people who
    blame each other when things go wrong. They
    take little responsibility for their problems.
    When something goes wrong at home or at
    work, they find someone to blame. They rarely
    admit their own problems. They will say things like:-
    "It was not my fault that....
    " that would not have happened if you had...
    " How was I supposed to know...
    " It is your fault..."
    Stay away from blame thoughts. We have to take
    personal responsibility for our problems before 
    we can hope to change them. With love and best
    wishes, take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.

    of  Godhead,  Lord  Krishna.  People who have
    fears very often predict the worst. Automatically
    they engage in  negative thoughts. They  very
    often expect the worst in every situation in life.
    They believe that if they expect the worst, they
    will never be disappointed. But  this  constant
    stress  from  negative  thoughts  lowers  their
    immune system effectiveness and increases the
    risk of illness.  Our thoughts  affect  every  cell 
    of our gross material body. So it is better to be
    aware  of our  thoughts  and  entertain  healthy
    and loving thoughts. With love and best wishes,
    take care, bye. Radhe Radhe.
