I have read 10 commandments. It tells the reality of life. However, I would like to add , in practical life , when we live on day-to- day basis. Take the case of Men & women crossed 70 years. These old couple I assume live with their son & daughter in-law , including one or Two grand children living to-gether. The role of the couple should be that both should devote time to the rest by way of offering support to whatever they do, with out offering any Advice on any matter , unless specifically asked for . The couple should ensure fitness at all costs to ensure not falling sick , because of wrong doings , which could cause the upset of routine work of others.
For this The male ,can perform some easy exercise for 20 minutes including Pranayamam, which has proven to keep your lungs fit ,including some Aerobics , suiting the individual, will ensure agility for whole day. You can continue assistance to others by way of filling the Gap , meaning ANY left-over tasks by the Son / his wife & also the children till you go to bed.
Your wife can join some Yoga classes which gives , not only mental but some physical exercises to keep her fit. She would also be able to have useful Gossip with her Co- yoga women,.This will ensure good atmosphere at home , not only with her husband, but also with every body else .
One golden rule for the aged couple is this :- If there is any difference of opinion, never take pride in winning, You get defeated ? That will be your success to lead a peaceful life with one & all ,esp. the youngsters.
This way your peace of mind will not be disturbed & your Closeness with the Old lady will feel good all the time
