Marriage…. it’s like vintage wine

I got married in 2003, somehow I dare say… it’s better than singlehood.

To make love stay… my wife always say that marriage is the end of the sweetness experienced during courtship. True to an extent. For most, courtship is probably about winning the lass over and marriage is the time to make ends meet. That’s why…. the magic of the sweetness is sometimes gone. Nevertheless, we must strive and be guarded to ensure our marriage is able to retain the sweetness.

An enriching and fulfilling marriage demands couples to prune and protect it from the many aspects of life. There are many distractions… the demands and pressures of making a living. The rising costs of living… increasing so rapidly that inevitably, couples would have to work harder and put longer hours in the office.

With the pursuit for a better life, we musn’t forget to communicate and share our inner thoughts and feelings readily with our spouses. We must never let the grinding monotony of this pressure cooker society void us of feelings. We have to place the greater concern to our spouses instead of ourselves. That could probably make love last in marriages, ride through the heat, the bloody haze and into the sunset and to the twilight of our lives. With children, of course.

Marriage is like wine, if nurtured properly, can get better with the years. Habits like picking one’s nose, burping and farting loudly, once grated, can turn second nature. Silence, which may be awkward, can be blissful and comfortable.

The richness of the marriage experience, as one has yet to find or unravel as the years flies by, is because the BEST has yet to come.
