"Marriages"

Marriages….aaah….That surely would have brought a smile on your face if you are a bachelor and at the same time you would have grinned if you were being married for quite some time….Nevertheless like a child which needs to be baptized, in the same manner every so called bachelor would one or the other day needs to bear the wrath of this process.

Drifting a bit to humorous side before taking any serious discussion on this topic…Someone mentioned it in a very humorous way that it is actually the time “When a guy loses his bachelor’s and the girl attains her major’s”. “Marriage is more or less like an elephant, everybody admires it but when it actually comes to owning one, it is then the actual guts and grits come into the picture”. Anyways I won’t elongate on this topic as many of you would disagree on my opinion of marriage.

Coming back to the topic on serious note, are today’s marriages completely turning out the way as it should be or it is mere a depiction of so called one’s status and well being in the society. Why that nowadays the newspapers are flooded with news of dowry, harassment and other social problems? Why that women’s cell for grievance is growing larger in number as compared to the small number of schools for the underprivileged?

A large chunk of people would be disagreeing with me on the same as they would be of the opinion that such acts of insaneness are the result of muddle headed and narrow minded people who see a girl as an object of recurring finances to satisfy their monetary needs.

There are growing numbers of instances where infidelity comes into the scene nowadays Why is that so when everything is mutually agreed upon before entering into a life long commitment between two souls. Again I would like to reiterate that don’t spoil someone’s life if you are not ready to carry on life long relationship with him/her. Remember my fellow readers that marriage is not like a Cellular Services SIM card which can be discarded as and when you don’t like the services rendered. It is actually when you look beyond the imperfections and carry on the cart of life with not so perfect set of tyres.

Why nowadays divorce lawyers are much in vogue rather than criminal lawyers as divorce in itself is not less than a crime. There may be much to discuss about the same but I would confine my view on this topic to the minimum as I don’t want to hurt any feelings of my friends & folks. Why that if a person is married society would term him/her as a normal human being whereas if the other aspect is shown onto it has no takers. In fact as debated upon earlier we as a social animal are living more for the society than for our self.

I really appreciate the couples who among their much chaotic life find a way to deal with it and like salt and pepper adds flavour to a dish…they treat adversities as something which spices up and adds flavour to the life and carry on the journey even though how hard the life treats them or how soft the dreaded paths seem to appear. Hats off to such couples.

Whoahh…much of serious view points. Let me share with you all a small story

“Once upon a time a couple decided to tie the knot. But as ill fate would have it they met with an accident and died. They then appeared before the St Peter and narrated their love for each other and wished that if they could get married here in heaven. St Peter was a bit puzzled with this request. But since it was heavens, no request was turned down and hence St Peter went on to look for a solution. In the mean while the couple started pondering as to whether they should get married or not as there could exist a situation if they didn’t get along well in the future. Hence they waited for St Peter to come back. When St Peter came back he was overjoyed and conveyed that they could get married as there was a priest in heaven’s but when the couple uttered that they were no longer of the same opinion. St Peter got furious and shouted back that “It took me 3 months to search for a priest in heaven and I suppose if any lawyer ever exist in the heaven”

Somewhere there would be an urge to get oneself married irrespective of whatever consequences one needs to face thereafter but what’s the point of satisfying a chunk of people on the cost of foregoing your happiness. Like they say it’s not those chunk of people who will come down to help when your marital life in distort but actually its both the persons (read as couple) who will console and comfort each other in times of distress.

One more thought to bring this article to an end comes to my mind…”Get yourself married to the person whom you love talking to because in old age its not the looks or money…but your conversational skills that will keep the life moving on”…
