Marriages are made in heaven…
Are marriages really made in heaven? I wonder. What makes a good marriage? Is “love at first sight” everlasting? Do the people who “fall in love” before marriage continue to stay “in love” after marriage? Is there such a thing as “falling in love” and “living happily ever after”?
When we start asking these questions and look around at the married and divorced people, we wonder. There are many so-called love marriages that have failed. I know of a love marriage that failed just after 2 weeks. They dated for more than 2 years.
In my opinion, real love is universal love…the love that you have for your mother, your father, your brother, your friend, etc. It is the same sort of love for different relationships, with different ways of communicating and expressing. What do I mean by “same sort of love”? A love that is more selfless, more accepting of the other person(knowing the weaknesses, faults, etc. and accepting the person as a ‘package’), a love that is more giving, sharing the tears and joys, etc….
