I held this view for quite a while now, but, surprisingly, haven't put it on paper (or screen) yet. Well, I guess now is just the right time to do it. Le'me get some earphones and now let's get started.
Marriage.
Such a huge milestone for many couples, nearly every young woman dreams and seeks marriage, happiness in wedlock, and many married women remember one of the happiest times of their life - wedding - and feel very glad that they are married now. Why?
I never understood why people marry. For a stamp in their passport? Not likely. For a ceremony, beautiful hand-made dress? More likely, but still not enough realistic. Why do people feel that when married, they will become better, more accomplished couples, as if wedlock makes their relationship better. For me, the answer is no. I mean, for a start, how many girls want marriage for marriage, and not wedding? I agree, the ceremonies can be quite out-of-this-world, perfect dresses, personal make-up artists, bridesmades, gifts - can be a day in a life of a princess, but what after that? I'm sure that a good percentage of those ''happy married'' couples will find themselves divorced in a couple of year, because their passion just faded away, and as we all might know divorce is not all fun and games, on the contrary, it's stressful, can be expensive, anything but happiness, really. Then why marry, if that can bring you to divorce? Of course, many would say: "not everybody gets divorced, we are living a happy life, for example", but why couldn't you just live your happy lives in just a relationship, without getting married? So weird.
I say it, and I really mean it, relationships do not get better after marriage. Period.
Why marry, it's pointless! You can still be with a person you love, you can share passion for the same things, you can still be mad about each other, and if you stop to feel that - you can just break up, no worries, no hassles. If you're happy together, you can still have kids, still love your offspring, still be happy etc. See? Why marry? If you want a party, throw a party, have cool dresses and flowers and everything. A stamp in your passport is not going to make you happier…
Share your love with your beloved without legal procedure, same effect, less effort :)
