To some marriage seems the “Be All” and “End All” and to others it seems a status symbol. Why on earth is that the case heaven only know…..I am not referring to the couples who have been carrying on for a long period of time and then ventured into marriage. In my eyes such people are wise coz I think its best to get to know the person properly before taking that big leap.
Many Sri Lanka’s stick to traditions and get married through proposals without getting to know the other person properly. But, I guess getting married via proposals is part and parcel of some people’s culture and I guess their mind frames are trained from their tender years.
I seriously can’t see myself ever getting married through a proposal coz there is quite a lot of unknown elements in the picture. Then again it’s not only in proposals that people hardly get to know each other before getting married…
Well, I personally have nothing against marriage. Nevertheless, what I don’t get is why on earth people rush into marriage.
I personally think that the number of divorces could be reduced if people get to know each other for a longer period before getting married… I also think that this will help to build a solid foundation for a marriage which includes love, honesty, faithfulness and the list goes on…
I wonder what others think about all this??

Thanks alot for your comments and support! I really wish I can tlak to you and open up to you...but its alot to talk about...it would be like an essay if i explain things that keep on happening to me. I dont know...if you dont mind Ill let it all out!
I am not sure i am the marrying type - in the sense, brining in the state to a personal matter... if the girl understands me, and knows me - she needs no protection from the state, and i need no protection from the state...
Anyways, I like everything written on this topic - interesting and thought provoking...
Sadly, relationships are complicated...

Hey Parthi, I would love to hear all your woes and give you any support that you need. All of us have our ups and downs. You are probably just going through a rough patch. But nevertheless its really good to talk and get all your negativities and basically everything that’s bothering you out of your system. Im here if you need anything. I just got an idea I will create a new post for you in my blog so that I can hear all about your life there. What do you think??? Like it??
Btw, I agree with the fact that being open in a marriage or for that matter a relationship is the key to a long lasting marriage / relationship. Hmmm and the way I see it sometimes people tend to mix up the two love and lust. A marriage based on the latter will obviously be hollow and wont last long.

”I think the word Marriage has many meanings to many people, and right now am not sure what you mean by marriage.”
When I say marriage I mean matrimony which is also referred to as wedlock…. Now what’s so confusing in that isn’t it all the same meaning??? What other meanings could there??
