CHOOSING TO LOVE

First time i saw him, my heart skipped a beat or maybe two.
When I looked into her eyes, my knees grew weak and I couldn’t think straight anymore.
These two are the perfect example of today’s definition, the world’s expectation of LOVE.
10 years later, for the strong ones, they are divorced.
And we all wonder, what happened? But they were so in love, or weren’t they?
Of course they were, they could barely spend a day without each other.
They could not eat or drink in the absence of the other, they always moved together with love in their eyes and the widest of smiles on their faces.
They just seemed so perfect for each other and they opted for marriage, a lifetime contract.
So what happened? We ask again.

Here’s what went wrong?
They signed a contract without knowing fully the terms and conditions,
And they eventually opted out, the bed of roses had more thorns than they envisaged,
The guy turns out to be a control freak, so the lady feels like she’s caged,
Or the lady turns out to be an OCD patient, and the guy never does anything right in the house
The guy loses his Job and can provide for them no more, the burden is on the lady,
She becomes irritated and changes towards him
He develops inferiority complex, because “she acts like the boss”.
They fall out of love, they fall apart, never see eye to eye again
And eventually, the actual separation.

Why do we get married?
