Even if you know the person before marrying him still there is so much you come to know after marriage.
Be it a love marriage or an arranged one, you are never sure of the twists and turns. Well Life itself is unpredictable. Coming to marriages, sitting back, I remember reading a lot of those MILLS AND BOONS, I would dream about my right guy (maybe thinking that he would be just like the books and the movies). To me it was like two people with similar kind of wavelengths, funloving, carefree, romantic etc etc. Whereas on the other corner of my practical mind I always knew that this may not be the case coz there was a live example in front of me as my parents who have had an arranged marriage are completely 2 different individuals with very contrasting thoughts.
My understanding about arranged marriages was not all that great. I would always wonder how two individuals who really do not know each other at all (even if they had their little period of courtship) would be so ready to tie the knot. I mean get serious, you are going to sleep with a person whom you do not know at all (scary). But yes, a lot of people may have a different opinion about this.
So quite early in life I had decided that I would only marry if I know the person well. Finally I met my Mr Right almost 13 years ago. We were working in the same office. We had our period of courtship, almost 4 months before my engagement and another 6 months after the engagement. After marriage, life was not like the MILLS AND BOONS at all. I knew that he was a very loving, caring, understanding and more than all this mature. But when it came to romance, he had to really try hard. Being married in a different community, I also had my period of adjustments in the family. There were a lot of ups and downs. Survived most of it :) am glad. Bottomline- IT WORKED OUT JUST GREAT. Now I am happily married with a 7 and a half years old son. Though there would be some who would beg to differ coz I too have seen a lot of love marriages not even lasting for a a couple of years.
Marriages be it arranged or love need to be constantly worked upon. In recent times, may be due to financial independence and career, marriage has taken a back seat. The tolerance levels have decreased. None are in a mood of sitting down and even understanding what is going wrong. It really is sad when we can see it happening in front of our eyes but cant do anything about it since a lot of couples do not want any interference in their personal life. Well the best I do is pray for them and hope that everything gets sorted out. I would never recommend anybody to live in a marriage which has a lot of violence or torture in it. Since I was going thru some of these funny Marriage Quotes, I thought of pasting them. Enjoy.
