Views of a friend on ‘marriage’

India
July 14, 2012 3:58am CST
[b]A friend left her hubby recently; she says, every wife is a ‘mistress’ for her husband, a ‘miss’ for one hour & "Stress" for the rest 23 hours. [/b] There are times when a man doesn't understand a woman, both before marriage and after marriage. She says, ‘my husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God, and I didn't accept it. Marriage is like a public toilet, those waiting outside are desperate to get in & those inside are desperate to come out. Hurricanes are usually named after women, because when they arrive, they're wet and wild, but when they go, they take your house, car and property. [b]A man goes to a faith healer to ask if he can remove a curse he has been living with for the last 40 Years. The healer said, maybe, but you will have to tell me the exact words that were used to put the curse on you. The man said, without hesitation, it is; "I Now Pronounce You Man and Wife." [/b] This made me smile friends. What you say? Please share your valued opinion on this. Kalyani 14th July 2012. [i][/i]

kalyni madam yes. it brings laughter. Life is a platform where we give and take-- if one person starts feeling he is giving more then the balance will be affected. in the initial years after marriage -- physical reunion keeps the couple together and after two/three decades it is only the thinking "how much she/he has sacrificed for me?' will keep the couples together. present generation youngsters want money, love,family, affection --everything together. one cannot be had without compromising on the other. good day.

hi ravi no woman of intelligence should marry before she proves to herself she can work and suppoort herself. being armed with job skills you can marry for love not for a damned paycheck,. its stupid to marry just to have a means of support, I married late as I met and fell in l ove with what I c all a keeper. he loved me, respected me and trusted me and I with himk,we married for better or worse, in sickness and in health as long as we both shall live., we kept those voes. I was widowed in 1991. I still miss him, not as a paycheck, as the one love of my life. withI was self reliant and still am even as I am partly disabled. I mylot a lot.

hi Kalyni these made me laugh but I had a good marriage with a man w2o really cared how we got along, how I felt and he made me laugh a lot, always smiling, usually happy . He was outgoing " I was shy he taught me how to be more relaxed and open with others and I taught him not to fall for door to door sales people's spiels,.I think I was lucky in my choice of men and too I waited until I had learned to support myself,I married out of love' not out of wanting a man to support me.this is such a difference as we were more equal both able to work.I had a great marriage and am not sad that I married Garland hatley at all.

Hello Kalyaniji, There are hundreds of such quotes about marriage, which itself shows that marriage is not an easy relationship and that's why , so much is being written about the different views of men and women regarding marriage...No doubt that there is a funny side to it as well, as we can see ...

I think marriage is a bond between man and woman to keep the world going on. Well without marriage also a woman can have children then the world will be full of illegitimate children. Marriage is a sacred bond which we give a relationship to have a clean population.

The words made me laugh. Yes, there are some truths in those funny statements. I think it is because the norm is "to be married", that is why almost everybody gets married. Those who reach the marrying age suddenly makes it a habit to hurry on marrying, thus ending up unhappy. I, myself, is in the marrying age right now. But while most of my kins are hurrying me into marriage, I am taking my sweet time because I do not want to end up with someone that I really do not like. Anyway, like most things, there are good and bad things in a marriage. And if the bad things seemingly exceed the good moments, then it is time to let go.

Loved that "mistress" comment! That's about what it was like with my ex-husband. He did not treat me well at all. Truly, though, this was a lovely, light and funny post. Thank you for brightening my day.

These can be seen and regarded as jokes, and as jokes, they are pretty funny... but if she says these really sincerely and harshly and blieves in them, it's bad... bad in that sense that she can't condone all men and husbands because one was a jerk. But if she only says these to help her to live through this phase, then it's okay.

kalyani mam, really i have a good laugh after reading your topic, your friends view is very funny, i wonder why she compared marriage with a public toilet? I think she is very much depressed with her married life, so only she told it in this sort
