The Marriage Label
To tie the knot or not to wed? That is the doubt. It never had been the question. It had been ‘When to marry?’ not ‘why to marry’. For a long time women were expected and put pressure on themselves to seek out a mate young, hook up and set up home with kids and a hamster, and dedicatethe rest of their lives to operating a well run house. Perhaps because females have been loosed from what were once their traditional functions, that a wedding ceremony is no longer a top prority and most assuredly not the only road to venture along. In Actually numerous people- both men and female categorically hate the idea of marriage, and can’t imagine looking into a loved one’s eyes and promising without question to spend the remaider of their lives with them until someone dies. In many ways it’s sad, because weddings can be such wonderful occassions especially when they feature a handsome wedding dress and sky lanterns. But, unhappy marriages can be damaging, financially and emotionally wasteful, and the most isolating things of all. Though being in a poor partnership is also hugely isolating, somehow with the marriage stamp, it’s worse. FriendsWork colleagues expect more of a twosome when they are formally married and have purportedly spent so much cash on their wedding day. They are supposed to be happy or to at least try their damndest to be so. As a result of this sensed outside insistence, many partners feel they have to put on a show and hide their true feelings. The reason why there were a greater amount marriages or why marriages endured a few generations ago is because couples had no choice but to keep ploughing on with their relationship. This is good in some respects, but in others, it is very damaging. Yes there were a bigger number of marriages, but there were also many more desperately pitiful ones.
