A Heartfelt Exploration of the Emotional Blueprint Behind Lasting Marriages
In a world where wedding ceremonies often overshadow the realities of married life, Marriage – Where Soup Is Better Than Dessert offers an unflinching yet compassionate look at what truly sustains a relationship. Written by debut author Kumar Madhurendra Kishor, this reflective work delves deep into how our earliest experiences—how we were loved, heard, or overlooked—leave lasting imprints on the way we love and live as adults.
The book challenges the idea that marriage is built only on romance or rituals. Instead, it reveals that its true foundation lies in emotional maturity, empathy, and the willingness to heal from within. Drawing from personal observations, real-life stories, and years of quiet contemplation, Kishor guides readers to uncover the silent forces that make or break a marriage.
At its heart, the title’s metaphor is telling—soup over dessert. Just as a nourishing soup takes time, patience, and care to prepare, so does a marriage built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. In contrast, dessert—though sweet—is fleeting. Kishor invites readers to value depth over instant gratification, presence over perfection.
The author’s own life story enriches this exploration. From joining the Indian Air Force at 17 and serving for 11 formative years, to navigating the banking sector as Chief Manager at Union Bank of India, Kishor’s journey spans 34 cities and countless human stories. These experiences—of distance, duty, sacrifice, and cultural diversity—form the backbone of his insights into human connection and marital resilience.
Through warm, relatable prose, Marriage – Where Soup Is Better Than Dessert is not a prescriptive manual but a mirror—encouraging readers to look inward before stepping into marriage, or to rekindle their bond if already on the path. It’s for those who wish to understand not just their partner, but themselves.
Whether you are preparing for marriage, in the midst of it, or seeking to make sense of its complexities, this book offers both comfort and clarity. In a fast-changing world, Kishor’s message is timeless: Love, like soup, must be nurtured slowly to truly nourish.
