Empowering good harmony is the key to a happy married life and in turn a happy home.

All relationships are based on a fine balance of understanding, co-operation, mutual adjustment, trust, love and compassion. When one of them is imbalanced the relationship does not sustain. The place of dwelling has a strong impact on many aspects of the occupant’s lives including marriage, relationship and love. Creating a harmonious space through simple adjustments can bring the spark back into the lives of the occupants and attract a good life partner too.

In Feng Shui, the symbolism of what we see is very important, ensure your bedroom says "peace and romance" in some way through décor. The Southwest sector of the home has a strong influence on the female energy in a home and is also known as the Matriarchs corner and represents the Element Earth.

This sector when maintained well free of clutter, and if enhanced further through proper symbolism ensures activation of marriage luck and relationship prospects. Clutter, toilet, Kitchen at South West sectors of a home are said to be the main cause for marriage delays and a prolonged search for a life partner.

One of the best objects to use to energize the earth element of the southwest corner is a crystal, especially natural quartz dug up from earth. The facets of crystal and cut glass are especially potent when combined with light. Raw amethyst, quartz or other natural crystals will be extremely harmonious with the southwest sector. Crystal chandeliers are said to attract tremendous good luck. Hung in the south west corner of the bedroom, a crystal chandelier brings wonderful romantic and relationship luck.

When hung in the center of the house, they shower the home with extremely auspicious family luck. This is because the center of any home, the heart of the residence, is also signified by the earth element and should represent the area of maximum energy or chi concentration.

Some of the simple yet practical tips to tide over stressful situations in relationships are:-

Place the bed in a location that gives you clear sight of the door.

Do not place the bed next to a window.

Avoid placing mirrors opposite the bed.

Use soft lampshades so that the light in the bedroom is not harsh and powerful but subdued and calming.

Ensure that bed is supported by a solid wall behind it.

Avoid exposed overhead beams in the bedroom cutting across the bed.

Do not place computers, television or exercise equipment in that spot of your bedroom.

Avoid excess shades of blue décor and furnishings in bedroom

For singles who seek a partner placing at the South West of the bedroom Hearts made of rose quartz or amethyst are said to be powerful enhancers to bring together romantic pairs as Heart is a universal symbol of love across all traditions and cultures. A pair of Mandarin ducks made of rose Quartz enhances love and marriage prospects when placed alongside at Southwest with a bright shining light focused on to it.
