I met a long lost couple friend just recently.
They are getting married. Congrats.
I asked the question when he is away.
“Why do you think he’s the one?”
And I asked the question once again when she is away.
“Because I know that he is someone who can take care of me very well.” followed by a shy grin on her face.
“Because I love her.” with a blank yet sincere look on his.
It’s all starting to make sense. Or not.
One gets married because she wants to be taken good care of.
Another gets married because he loves her
Marriage is definitely not a tool to secure a care taker. You can employ one outside.
Marriage is about true love, isn’t it?
Or, Am I wrong from this perspective?
Andy. U r right. Love is definitely about true love. But many things are hard to define. Some care taker does not provide security. In this case, she believed that he can provide her with all the security that she need, so that he is the person to rely on during tough times. Well, take pregnancy for example. There’s a lot of things that pregnant woman can’t do. So there is a need for man to do their part. Of course, woman are sensitive being, she won’t find any other pple to take care of them. Except for the person she loves.
For me, yes, marriage is about true love.. but it’s also about accepting each others faults and communication…
No-one will EVER know for sure if “he/she” is the “one” until the end… But when you go into a marriage, you must go into with faith till the end…
I love the following quote:
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility
