What is a marriage? To me, a marriage is a promise 2 souls make to each other to love and cherish both individuals till ‘death do us part’. No? Being in a relationship is all about love and trust and sacrificing and compromising between the 2. No? In spite of the flaws that an individual may have, one can still wake up in the morning, 50 years from now thinking, ‘awww… I love this person so much’. No?
What is a marriage?
I still believe that the UP couple exist in real life. But many have told me UP couple is just fictional. That a marriage will just come to a point where there will be no love. It is not possible to wake up 50 years later and still have that same love feeling u have for the person sleeping next to you. All you feel after a while is just a sense of responsibility. Really? I mean seriously? If that’s the case, why bother getting married? We can all just continue going through the dating process and continue to change partners everytime we feel there’s ‘no-love’ anymore. Wouldn’t that be better for everyone?
It is bad enough to hear couples of my parents’ generation getting divorces after 20 to 30 years of marriage. To hear stories of people my age getting divorces, after only being married for a couple of years felt like a slap in the face.
Oh, and allow me to stress that when there is no love, the crazy 10 to 20 years that the two have been together is NOT going to save the relationship. The number of years is not a valid measurement of the strength of a relationship. No where near. I’ve hear too many people actually saying that they are getting married simply coz they have been together for a long time. All so very wrong.
*sigh*
So, what is a marriage to you?
“Marriage” is another stage in our life…to learn about “Tolerance & Appreciation” to your partner.
that is true. but a lot of us somehow don’t know how to appreciate. a lot of us are selfish.
I wrote about this topic before too, and I truly agree with you. A lot of people just jump into the marriage wagon without realizing where it could be taking them and then it’s gone….
yea christy, i remember reading a marriage post on your blog. i don’t know why some ppl just want to rush into things, especially something as important as getting married. *sigh*
