What is a marriage?
The definition book said, it is legally or formally recognized union of a man and a woman (or, in some jurisdictions, two people of the same sex) as partners in a relationship. The Society said this is a bonding of seven births, commitment of being together during each others thick and thin. He said marriage is the most nonscientific institution. It's not possible for any two human beings to be in love with each other forever and ever. Someone else said, there is no charm in marriage after a couple of years, so they couple should go for a baby. Because that's what keep them together. But to me, marriage was a courtship, a tale of being in love forever and ever. A never ending, a never changing feeling. The word infidelity had no place in my dictionary, in my marriage, in my love. Marriage is about sharing a life, sharing feelings, sharing love, sharing hatred, sharing hope, sharing dreams, sharing the pain, a desire to fulfill each others wishes, to complement each other. Is this what I learnt from my society? - Maybe. But if society taught us such a big definition of marriage, then why does it often occur in marriages that they stop working in between? Why does often it occurs in marriages that people just stop loving and starts living for society? Why is marriage so fragile that it fails in a slight stroke? And if it is so, then why are we made to believe it's a bonding of a lifetime? Why it gets so tough to accept that it is not a bonding seven births, sometimes not even for seven years? If marriages are the bonding between two people who are alike, then why can't they fall out of love at the same time? What I realized from life, marriage is a myth, myth of bonding, myth of togetherness, myth of commitments. This is just another battle of 'Survival of the fittest'. A marriage survives when both the people feel they are fittest for each other, but it breaks when one of them finds, (s)he deserves someone fitter.
