A straw of GOOD LUCK

(Your dream wedding cake?)

While more and more people nowadays fear marriage because of the responsibility and commitment that goes with it, there are still more who remain "obsessed" to attaining this "dream".

In our modern society where divorce and separations have taken center stage, marriage has gotten a bad rap. It seems like many people these days feel marriage is some archaic arrangement that holds people back from realizing their full potential. Even if people aren’t particularly anti-marriage, they will avoid getting hitched for as long as they can.

We cannot blame people who deliberately avoid marriage because of the hovering cases of failed marriages, they view this union as too risky a chance to take. But marriage is not a game of chance wherein you cross your fingers you don't become one of the statistics. Neither is divorce a virus or disease that some people catch and others have immunity to.

One reason for failed marriages is the myth of couples that it can make them happy. This is an entirely false myth. Our happiness both as an individual and as a couple must come within ourselves. While being married can bring happiness, it is NOT and CANNOT be the prime source of true happiness.

For those singles who are contemplating of getting married and even those who are already very much married, no matter how happily they believe they are, take this exercise, however, take note of the warning.

Exercise Direction: First read the conversation from top to bottom (Before Marriage). Then read the same conversation from bottom to top (After Marriage)
