With 17 marriages (of people I know) already been announced for this year, including 2 within my Family; out of which 4 are done while the rest eagerly awaiting their turn. I got to tell all of them that ‘Guys, world is not ending in 2012. Geez, it was just a movie! So kindly relax and take it slow.’ But I am not sure if anybody is actually going to listen. So now let me give you guys my share of nuggets of wisdom on the most difficult, life changing decision which is popularly known as MARRIAGE.
Ø Getting married is like getting on a roller coaster ride. You get on it being sure of guaranteed excitement, you force a smile in the beginning, but later, you are totally freaked out and want it to stop. But then it’s too late. This terrible adventure is what you have to go through for the rest of your lives.
Ø I am not sure if Marriages are made in Heaven, but hey! they all do end up in Hell.
Ø The honeymoon does not last forever guys. It has to end and sadly it does. No matter how much you want it to continue, it does end soon, very soon.
Ø ‘Love’ or ‘Arrange’ doesn’t matter. Initially everyone pretends to welcome the ‘Shit’ that comes their way with a fake smile while dramatically preaching about Sacrifice and Adjustment. But once their stomach can’t take any more crap, the big words are just for theory purpose Baby!
Ø Initially both will have so much to talk. While one speaks the other listens carefully with genuine love flowing from the eyes. A newlywed will never care about the happenings around them. All they see is each other. But later, it’s either both participating in frequent talkathons or just one partner speaks while the other pretends to listen hoping for the monologue to end asap in order to resume doing better interesting things, like watching TV.
Ø Due to the implausible characteristic of a so called ‘Perfect Marriage’ you will definitely feel deceived and cheated by the descriptions on the institution of marriage shown in movies, scripted in books or narrated by Family and Friends.
Ø Small disagreements, frictions, differences in opinions which you consider healthy and add spice to your marriage will soon convert to horrible arguments, face-scratching, hair-pulling. Only tranquiliser would help which requires breaking something. Like, each other’s Head!
Ø Gone are the days when people used to think that marriage is like digging your own grave. In today’s world, to put it in much more appealing words I would say that Marriage is like designing your own sarcophagus.
With so many marriages happening around maybe I am having one of those Panic attacks. I do believe in the above pointers to some extent. But now I am going to write about the fun in Marriage life. I am definitely sounding paradoxical to you all but as it’s said that every coin had two sides. Here’s my understanding on the other side of the most successful social experiment done in the history of Mankind until today and for centuries to come- MARRIAGE.
Ø We humans are always in search of love and stability. It is one of our major aims in life because we all our vulnerable and emotionally needy people. Denying this is like fooling your own self. Everyone has to be related or in a better word, BELONG.
Ø The most unbearable hunger is the Hunger of belonging. For how long can you go on with belonging to different people at different times in life? Everybody wants to belong to someone, for a long, very long time. That’s the biggest satisfaction and Peace in Life.
Ø For how long can one acquire pleasure? You need to be fulfilled. You need to be HAPPY. Marriage gives happiness.
Ø Marriage does bring humdrumness in life. But with joint efforts, this can change.
Ø Adjustment and Sacrifice are big words for sure. But remember, they are not that scary. They need to become a part of you as they will confront you throughout either in small or big ways; but they will, each day.
Ø Whether it’s for the guy or the girl, your topsy-turvy life automatically starts getting organised after Marriage.
Ø Getting Married is definitely like getting on a roller coaster ride. It’s fun. It thrills you. The ups and downs will tickle your stomach but simultaneously give you the experience that you will always cherish. Once you get down, you will have the desire to go on it again.
Ø Lastly but most importantly, if you believe that God is the in charge of your marriage, then the so called nightmare will become the most beautiful living experience.
