The Importance of Karwa Chauth for Couples
Karwa Chauth is a Hindu festival that is celebrated where women fast and pray for a long life for their husbands. It is celebrated with great joy, and happiness and enthusiasm. Women go out of their way to do the best for their husband’s well-being and to bless them with a rich life. Not a single stone is left unturned when celebrating this specific festival. Families unite as one for this festival and married women break their fast together on the appearance of the shining moon. However, what most of us know about Karwa Chauth is what we see in Bollywood films.
A Time to Reaffirm Love And Commitment
Married women want what’s best for their husbands, and thus really go all out to make it good for them. They fast for a whole day to show their love for their husbands and really dedicate the day for them. This sign of love and commitment is surely not unnoticed by the husbands, who in turn make this festival extra special for their wives who are going hungry the entire day for their sake. The festival, therefore, is all about reaffirming love and commitment in marriages, and the in-laws are also included in this. If anything, this festival brings the entire family more together and helps everyone put aside their differences to celebrate the sacred bond between husbands and wives.
Praying for Each Other's Prosperity
There are rituals for this special festival and it is important that each ritual is followed, as they all have reasons for why they exist. There is Sargi which begins before the festival itself. All married women and brides-to-be go to their in-law's houses to get the traditional sargi which is prepared by the mother-in-law. This has is eaten in the morning of Karwa Chauth before they start the fast, and so it consists of healthy food rich enough to keep them the entire day.
Then there is Baya, which is a gift from a mother to her daughter-in-law given to her because she fasts for her son. It usually includes money, clothes, jewellery and so on as a thankfulness gift to the girl fasting. In the evening, women get together to break their fast and puja is held there. They have a narration of the traditional story of Karwa Chauth and then pray for the well-being of their husbands, and for marital bliss and harmony. When the moon rises in the sky, the women break their fast by saying a prayer under the moonlight and the husband feeding the wife the first morsel.
How Karwa Chauth Is Special for Husbands
Karwa Chauth's main focus is observing a rigorous fast by the wives for their husband’s good health and long life. It is super special for the husbands because they have the opportunity to be blessed by their wives, and in return, they have the chance to honour the fast and choice made by the wives. In today’s world, the current generation sees the festival as a way to honour marriage and celebrate the special bond that only married couples share with one another. It is a good opportunity for the couple to show each other how much they respect each other and express the love and commitment they have towards their significant other. This festival can easily be seen as a festival only for married women, but it is, in reality, a festival for both sides of the marriage as it makes the bond shared much stronger, and encourages more love and openness as well as helps them grow more thankful for each other.
Ways to Celebrate Karwa Chauth As a Couple
Keep Fast Together
Marriage is all about the coming together of two individuals who trust and respect each other. Solidarity and support for each other forms the basis of a nuptial relationship and there is no better way to show it then on Karwa Chauth. Both husband and wife can keep the fast together and pray for the long life of the other. It strengthens the bond of the relationship, and spending the day together for this cause makes it a cherished romantic occasion, and helps in rekindling the love and affection shared by the husband and wife. Doing this together will help both husband and wife to cherish each other’s sacrifice and the dinner shared after the fast is broken will be all the more delicious and enjoyable.
Spending Quality Time with Your Partner
The women in the 21st century are smart, well-educated and independent thinkers, and if they are still willing to fast for their husband, they do it because they love and care about their guy. The husband probably feels guilty about the sacrifice knowing that their wives are starving the whole day for their well-being, and so it can be a really good idea to avoid going through this alone. The couple can instead spend quality time together, take time off of work and spend the day together.
Create Your Own Karwa Chauth Ritual
It is important for a couple to celebrate Karwa Chauth the way they want to, by creating their own rituals for the day. Make your own rules with your husband that could turn into a family tradition for years to come. Enjoy a pre-Karwa Chauth party the night before, or go on a spa date with your husband.

The moon of Karwa Chauth is the moon of Kartik and it is believed to be in the form of Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha.

Hence, the sieve covers the face of the women as a symbol of respect to the moon. Women usually break their fast going to the terrace or any place where they can see the moon.
It can be made so much more romantic if the couple can go to someplace special to watch the moonrise instead. It could be a typical romantic spot like the beach, the mountains, an opening in the woods, or instead a place that holds great significance to the couple and their marriage.
