What is Marriage ?

Marriage is that sanctified union culminating into the deep rooted bonding of two souls who choose to stay together till death does them apart or god forbid, tiffs turn into the ugly turn of separation. It’s a legitimate headway of enjoying sensual pleasures as well as bear testimony to the smells and sounds of an upset tummy too ;). An unsaid promise, come what may it will face the shackles of time in the form of abandoned ego trips and unconditional support post adjustments in the garb of flexible selfless overtures.

One not only sleeps & wakes up to the regular familiarity of each other’s entities but also gets sashayed in the lifestyles of two individuals who are merged as one eventually. A good understanding and support may lead to switching of roles if either is under the weather or has prior commitments.  Working class can leave love notes for each other so as to bridge the distance and keep the flame of love/belonging alive.  It’s common knowledge to the world that two people have opted to living shared lives at times with gifts in the form of in-laws who can be parasites or trendsetters, all depending on how you grow or nurture the fix.

Marriage jocundly can be tagged as a flower which needs constant tender loving care whose fragrance can allure the soul to unimaginable depths. It’s fun to be bear witness to a spouse who can be a friend, guide, caretaker, parent as well as a child in the questionable spells of life. The bond can ail as well as beautify you, it all depends on the two occupants how they want it. Couples end up into dog fights if taken for granted. The question here is, if, you want yourself to be cared for, you need to render the same emotion. It not only benefits the institution called marriage but the produce of the love harbored can be taught the strong notions it has within its confines.  Our offsprings learn from what they see. If they see responsibility, respect, care, love & brethren then half the purpose is already achieved.

Everything comes at a price indeed. At times one has to sacrifice a favourite programme or a prior engagement but the point is before marriage each had a life which does not deserve a snip of oblivion. Friends & well-wishers should be given the due importance so much so that it does not act as a prying eye to the in-each other couple. Space is another criterion which deciphers the individual maturity one has. Abandoning, scrutinizing or over possessiveness can kill any priceless equation. Who’s call was it, can I know? Who is he or she? Faith and trust can erase this insecurity forever simply.

Marriage, is a let in, in your shades of existence which were just yours since the time you entered the world.  Its good to have a companion who adds on to the value of your being. The risks are higher if ambition to prove something to the world as independent individuals overpowers the need to stay in the bond as one. Every setup deserves the freedom to achieve whatever they aspire to be. For some it could be a good mother or father and for some it could be a luxurious life with a good back up if life turns ugly on them. Communication is another important factor which should not cease even if the couple has the capacity to kill each other. Voicing one’s concerns and sharing thoughts strengthens the bond even more. Everyone is alone and will die alone but life can be a lot beautiful if you have a companion who lets you be as well as nurture you into something beyond care and what you are made of.

Marriage is sharing clothes, saliva’s, personal hygiene, relations of eons, lifestyles, dreams, mood swings and above all feeling the YOU. It can be a celebration of jokes cracked together in parties if in each other’s arm or a nightmare of regrets. Choice is all ours. :)
