Is Marriage Important? How Important is it you?

December is coming and it seems to me that for women, with the number of soon-to-be-wed couples sky-rocketing this time of the year, December Bride is the new June Bride .

I admit, I was one of those little girls who dreamed of a sunset beach wedding, with a grand orchestra as my church choir and all those little details, to a man who would be my husband and who shall love me (and who I will love back) for better or for worse, till death do we part. But with the humble experience I have had in my life now and relationships seem to be impossible to hold forever, it seems to me that marriage is such a scary thing after all. Is it just me?

marriage is not a joke... just think about it..

One of the most intimate and difficult of human relationships is that of MARRIAGE. Infinitely rewarding at its best, unspeakably oppressive at its worst, marriage offers the uttermost extremes of human happiness and human bondage - with all the lesser degrees of felicity and restraint in between.

From the point of view of law, marriage is a contract, a civil institution.

From the point of view of psychiatry, it is a theater of sexual and emotional urges.

The church regards it as a sacrament.

The psychologist sees it as a problem in behavior and adjustment.

The cynic sees is as a trap for fools.

Kuyabog sees Marriage as important only, if and only if, the marriage is between two people who are truly, honestly, and deeply in love with each other, not merely one loving the other. Otherwise, marriage is nothing but a cloud in the sky of useless lives..and will eventually fade into sunsets of meaningless hues of reds and yellows.

@kuyabog: well said sir!

It really depends. Personally, I would say that it is an important thing. Its something you cant take back at the later part in your life (not unless pro-divorce mo) and you dont do it because "feel-feel-lang".

How do you see it then? Are you the cynic or the fool?

Like I said in my post,

without true love binding both partners
marriage is nothing but a mere cloud
in a sky of useless lives

with love binding both as ONE
marriage is the sun itself
giving life, giving love
giving light..

often, i'd feel like a fool
having fallen in love
with someone who can not be mine
fools fall in love..
and marry someone else..

guess I am the fool trapping the cynic within...

Marriage is important and sacred BUT now a days marriage is not an assurance anymore. Daghan mag bana o asawa mag buwag kay dili magkasinabtanay. Samot na kung naay isa mag una-una'g pangabit unya mo balos pud dayon ang isa. ang labas ana, wala ra gihapon pulos ang pagminyo.
