Marriage

What's it all about

By Karen VenusPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

I do I do I do I do I do.....

What did I actually say I do to ? Oh! I wish that I knew what I Know now...

Love and Marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. Songs have been sung for a Thousands of years, and if you stand in a desert and breathe through the stillness. It has been said, 'sounds and music come through the breeze guiding you in the right direction'.

What does any of this have to do with marriage ? Well my opinion of marriage is a union of 2 people. Male and Female to procreate a new human. Live together forever, happy ever after. This is how I was brought up and what I witnessed growing up. Mixed emotions, no direction, But the unconditional love from Parents who are still married and in their 90's. I drifted and flowed with the times to grow to who I am now.

Knowing the thoughts I had at the time I was single and wanting a husband/mate/friend/companion/dancer/Elvis Presley type. I put out to the Universe sitting by my fireplace under the stars one night in 1999. My desires and wishes for a potential mate. For I was lonely and had a lot of time on my hands. That alone is a reason for marriage. For otherwise we will just find a method of survival and continue on our own.

Companionship, Love, Trust, Risk, Moments, Time. It all ticks over, we are all in the same boat as they say. So how do you have a perfect, To death till we part.

You don't. Neither of you wants it to happen.

If you desire it, it will happen, but both have to desire it. Without words spoken, and make action to move forward and stay stable and grounded as best you can and go for that ride in the boat. Read books, play games, be kind to each other, as you will defiantly find out who will save themselves if a wave come onboard. Will you reach out a hand ?

So there's how do I come to how they meet and if they will make a difference to the world by coming together. Creation.

Breathe like the wind, wish for your hearts desires. Know that the winds change. Stand strong like a tree, knowing you can be chopped down at anytime. So look after yourself, give your self space. For if you have come together through all odds. It's because of the first feelings of love that you felt within meeting. Well you would hope to know what your getting yourself into. Hence my first statement, Oh! I wish that I knew what I Know now...

And that is to Breathe. And do the best you can with what you have. Love cherish, Put up shut up only for a moment for the wind will change if the Love is there. For we are all human and can be childish.

So my opinion of my other half is. He Dances, does everything and more. Has a bad temper, talks too much. All the Good and the Bad. I'm not a genie.

His opinion of me......Well I am eternally 15 with an attitude, so lets not go there. Lets say I know what I should have known then and I can work it out from that.

Till Death do we part. Yes we have both thought of it..ha ha. But scarily enough those moments are not worth fighting for. Because Love is so close to hate it's not funny. So give each other space. Talk straight and clear knowing what you need. Which has to be love and Marriage....Not the horse and Carriage.
