marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
The Promise Under the Banyan Tree
The Promise Under the Banyan Tree Days passed gently after Zoya’s return to the village. The river, the fields, and even the dusty paths seemed to look different when she walked beside Amir. They still didn’t call it love out loud, but everyone who saw them knew what was slowly forming.

Rebuilding Reciprocity
Truth alone can heal what pride has broken. The war between men and women is not natural. It is manufactured by a culture that rewards resentment and mocks responsibility. Men are not the enemy of women, and women are not the enemy of men. The true enemy is the spirit of division that turned cooperation into competition. To rebuild what was lost, both must return to the principle that made civilization possible: reciprocity.

The Decline of the Marriage Covenant
Marriage was once the sacred foundation of civilization. It was the covenant upon which families, communities, and moral order were built. It bound man and woman together in purpose, duty, and devotion under the authority of God. Today, that covenant has been reduced to a fragile contract of convenience. What was once holy has become negotiable. What was once permanent has become temporary. The decline of the marriage covenant is not only a personal tragedy. It is a national one.

The Moral Economics of Love
Every human system, whether spiritual, political, or relational, is governed by incentives. People repeat what is rewarded and avoid what is punished. Love is no exception. It may sound sacred and emotional, but it still follows the law of cause and effect. When love is rewarded with gratitude, it grows. When it is met with entitlement, it dies. Modern society has rewritten the incentives of love, turning what was once an act of sacrifice into a transaction of convenience. The result is a generation that no longer knows how to give without gain.

The Third Option
For a long time, I believed my marriage ended because we failed. That if we had talked more, loved better, tried harder, or stayed longer in therapy, maybe we could have saved it. Marriage teaches you to internalize the blame — that if it cracks, it’s because you weren’t strong enough.

When Compassion Replaces Truth
Compassion is a virtue, but compassion without truth becomes corruption. It turns mercy into permissiveness and kindness into cowardice. A healthy society needs both heart and spine. When compassion replaces truth, the heart becomes sentimental and the spine collapses. People begin to value comfort more than correction and feelings more than facts. The result is moral confusion that spreads from personal relationships into every institution.
