Glamorous concept called Marriage

When was the 1st time you played the game of “ghar ghar”? When was the 1st time someone said that you will become like your parent? When did you start getting fascinated by rituals, dance, fun & parties that are associated with marriage ceremonies?

When were you told what comes along with marriage(adjustment, reality, sacrifices, struggle, good & bad moments, anger, management & a lot more)? Or were you ever informed or it?

In my case it was when i was a kid. My family would joke around by saying they will get married off to a certain city. My dad would say his life goal is to get married. My mom had dreams about my marriage. I was made to see a fantasy world of marriage & what it would be like.

Our society ignores the reality of a relationship & focuses on fantasy. Be it movies, stories, Instagram pictures, some blogs with #couplegoals #loveofmylife #bae #youthem.

I haven’t seen people talk about the ups & downs in any relationship, we arent been taught how to deal with our emotions, adjust, be responsible for our actions & more so have a real expectations from our relationships & mostly marriage.

I have seen many couple try to put their dreams, their values, their entire identity on their partner. Those superficial values which even they dont know from where they learnt & is it really that important. Most of the time they have no clue what their core values are & what are they giving & receiving in marriage. And when this relationship shakes a bit, they crumble & deny any change that would help them to grow as an individual.

Marriage is a concept of the society & it takes 2 individuals to work as a team to create what is marriage for them.
