A Girl Like Me is Impossible to Find :)

marriage=joke?

"Isn't one's wedding's day supposed to be the happiest day of one's life..?" ..maybe there was a lot more happiness being felt in the past, maybe a little in the present, what about the future?

Y is it that the barest marriage ceremony that could happen (and had already happened) was to go down to ROM, sign the papers and exchange the vows in a cramped (and i meant cramped) office (after queuing up for ur turn to see the pastor/imam) and that's it; ur married...and the couple dun really knows what hits them cos they're too busy trying to wake up (like literally) in the 1st place!!

And the society wonders y the national divorce rates are going up..tsk

then there are those who treats it wif indifference; 'whats the pt in getting married?/we're already living under 1 roof/whats the pt in getting engaged; i dont see any difference btw being in a bgr and being engaged'..or there are those wif the mindsets'we're already sleeping 2gether anyway so to get married is just to sign the marriage cert and proclaimed each other man n wife officially so as to get certain family benefits'..hmmmm..

i dunno abt u but i tink tats sad IMPO (in my personal opinion; maybe i'm stuck in the ancient mentality regarding marriage so sue me) ; nt being able to see marriage as what it used to be - a respectful union/promise made btw a guy(whu's nt linked to the spouse by any blood ties) and a girl in front/and with the blessings of god and families alike..trying their darndest to make the union lasts a lifetime..

think; my parents, unhapi as they may be, their marriage is still Online, nt offline as it would've been if they were younger or were frm My generation or my bro's..think; my grandparents, heck, my grandpa's passed away and the marriage lasted till he closed his eyes..n god bless his soul

N...simply put, nt make marriage a joke . yep, to conclude, that's my pt: since when's marriage has become a joke? and Why?

i wonder..y
