Marriage
I see everyone around me getting
married
and everyone asks me why I’m not
on the bandwagon.
Well, here’s my answer.
Marriage isn’t just about finding
someone to love.
I find that wherever I go.
It’s not about having a family to me,
but I wouldn’t turn down the thought.
It’s not even about having the happy
moments
which we all capture in the
photographs.
In fact, marriage to me is about the
complete opposite
of those photographs.
Marriage to me is about the struggle.
If we were happy all the time in
marriages
then we wouldn’t need to take those
photos.
It’s not about the trips to the white
weddings,
the buying of a house together, or
the family
trips to Disneyland.
It’s about your wife having all day
to talk to you,
and the only time she does is when
you’re watching
the game or playing one online with
your friends.
Makes you just want to head out and
have a beer
with your friends.
It’s about your husband getting on
your nerves
because he keeps you up all night
with his snoring,
and he still leaves the toilet seat
up.
Makes you just want to put super glue
on the seat
and wait for the magic to happen.
It’s about your kids either going
through
their rebellious phases, constant
screaming
due to certain issues, doing
everything you can
to make them happy and give them a
chance for a grand future.
Makes you just want some time alone.
But after all that, there’s that one
moment
when all those problems seem to
disappear.
When you’re all at the dinner table,
and you
share that silent moment and look at
each other
as if that was a psychological sense
of satisfaction --
that you got through another day,
together.
Then the husband and wife go to bed
together,
confident in the days to come because
no
matter how bad things get, when they
wake up tomorrow,
they will be waking up next to each
other.
And that makes life worth living.
That is what a marriage means to me,
and I have not met someone that I
can wake up next to yet.
