Happy as a Couple
To get married or not to get married tie the knot? That is the doubt. It never previously was the query. It was before ‘When to marry?’ not ‘why to marry’. For many years adult females were required and expected themselves to ascertain a hubby young, wed and set up home with tiddlers and a cat, and dedicatethe rest of their days to running a good house. Perhaps because women have been set free from what were once their established roles, that wedlock is no longer as important and definitely not the only route to go down. In fact numerous people- both male and women- categorically hate the idea of marriage, and can’t imagine gazing into a partner’s face and promising without compromise to spend the remaider of their lives with them until someone dies. In many ways it’s quite sad, because weddings can be such joyful occassions especially when they feature a grateful wedding dress and sky lanterns. But, marriages can be devastating, financially and emotionally ruinous, and the most isolating things of all. Though being in a painful partnership is also hugely isolating, somehow with the marriage stamp, it’s even worse. Colleagues have certain expectations of a twosome when they are officially married and have evidently spent so much money on their wedding day. They are due to be happy or to at least try their hardest to be so. As a result of this detected outside pressure, many partners feel they have to put on a front and obscure their honest attitudes. The reason why there were once a greater number marriages or why marriages lasted longer a few generations ago is because couples had no choice but to keep pushing on with their relationship. This is positive in some ways, but in others, it is very corrosive. Yes there were a greater number of wedlocks, but there were also many more desperately unhappy ones.
