When people speak about marriage, what crosses into your mind?
For most people, it is sex. Some even commented marriage as "having the same nasi lemak everyday" (source:twitter) - which is both funny and a little bit offensive to me. Haha.
Speaking of the traditional bond, I feel that most marriages should consider wait. For example, school teenagers. Yes, by secondary school, most of us already reached puberty and we have 'urges' and all but responsibility-wise? I think it is a big no-no.
A few days back my brother approached me asked me, "Kak, ko nak baby tak?"
My brother said his friend's friend is giving up a baby.
The baby is just one month old and his parents who apparently is just reached 18 years old decided to divorce and they do not want the baby.
Wow - just wow!
Easy come, easy go, huh?
Marriage is more than just having 'halal' relationship. It is a unity of two souls. The vows of taking care of each other, the commitment. The completion of the other half. The perfection of the flawed human. And marriage very need is maturity. We need to be ready to let go the fact that we are no longer single and we cannot do things how the singles do. We need to think about the actions of what we do before we do it. We cannot become too carefree - and We never stop loving the only partner in our life.
I have seen so much marriages that do not work and tumbling down for that matter. It is so heartbreaking to see.
Most of my friends are getting married/are married this year. I wish all of you the happiness.
Do not let it happen to you - divorce.
