I do believe in marriage. But i also understand its not for everyone. So choose your partner carefully before taking the plunge. If you still want to fool around then you aren't ready. I think marriage is more for your future kids than it is for the couple. It's better for children to grow up with both parents.

i love weddings. especially if it involves those people i love. its so magical, sacred, emotional, moving. their summary of love. the validation: recognized by the state, by God and by society. they are now assured that what they have is real. day 1 of forever (according to these newlyweds); and they'll live happily, together as one. :)

 

but some see marriage like a safe zone, your guarantee that the other person won't leave you (or at least that's what they thought); it's till-death-do-you-part, right? and since it's a contract, it cures their insecurities and fears. they now have a sense of ownership (okay, fine) or you'd say, belongingness. your security for the future. but who can know what the future holds?

 

Love for me is personal. it's a feeling that i matter to the other person. so for me, marriages will only work if these couples can fall in love all over again with the same person every single day. Love is like a flower (they say, and i agree), it blossoms unexpectedly. Some last for a day or two, or for weeks and others for a whole season. Love should enrich your life, makes you grow. it frees, not binds.

 

So unless you are both willing to work on it to make it work; weddings will just be another dinner, a very expensive one.

nowadays iilan na lang talaga ang nagpapakasal sa kanilang mga partners, for me im not the marrying type.. sa panahon kase ngayon bihira kn makakita ng babaeng matino. madaming nagpapakasal pero nauuwi din sa hiwalayan.. kaya mas mabuti pa na maglive in nalang muna.. at saka na magpakasal kung matanda na..

marriage should lead to a family of your own. ako twice ko muna binuntis bago kami nagpakasal. madali na madisolve ang marriage nowadays, but the family you build is the one that will make it bind . takot ako tumanda na walang mag aalaga sa akin until the end when i'll need it most...i saw many scenarios of being alone when you grow old. except pag madami kang ipapamana madami magmamahal sa iyo (daw). I saw many relatives who didnt marry, got old, they just died. And then i see my old father,,,barely walking barely hearing,,, but looking forward to living for more years...watching all his grandchildren grow...everyday to him is happiness...i hope one day i'll be that man because i have a marriage that worked.
