marriage

Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.

THE WEDDING
Today was the day for the couple Mr. Neou and Mrs. Msii to get married. I am not calling them Mr. Neou and Mrs. Msii because they are not yet married. Mrs. Msii invited her nieces to become her bride. She also invited her little brothers to become her grooms.

Forgive Me, Father
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. Is - is that how I'm supposed to do this?" The voice coming through the screen of the confessional was high and quavering. I wondered what had brought such an elderly soul to confession for what certainly seemed like the first time.

Marriage and Dishwashers
There is a school of thought about marriage that says arguments are a healthy and normal part of relationships. As stupid as this sounds, because it certainly sounds stupid to me, there is an underlying logic. This logic is not without merit, but it fails to account for priorities.

Marriage is for Men
If you grew up in the 90s or earlier, you were sold a singular story about what it means to be a woman. That story tethered a woman’s worth and happiness to love, marriage, and family. Nearly every TV show, song, and movie told this story; we were sold this narrative from thousands of different angles, but make no mistake – it is the same story.

The Traveler
Jonie would have taken a bullet for her husband, but she no longer liked him. She loved Tripp, and part of her was sure he loved her back, but he frequently shut her out, opting instead to spend longer hours at work and with his friends. She didn’t think he was cheating, the signs weren’t there, he was a good person and he never hit her. Of course, he was a sniper with his words, like the one time he blamed her for her own miscarriage. But at least he remembered all the important dates. Except March 22nd; that was the first important date he’d forgotten in 15 years of marriage. Not only was March 22nd Jonie’s birthday, but it was the day she was supposed to receive her Brilliant Minds In Science Award. The night would have been perfect had Tripp actually showed up.

Equation
“I am so glad you could meet me for dinner.” Jon had just sat down and was busy getting himself comfortable while looking around the dimly lit, dark brown wood finished dining room of the Italian Villa Restaurant. Once he was in the zone he answered his sister, Angie in a cheery tone, “Thanks for inviting me.” He paused but before she could answer he continued, “It has been some time since I have been here. Place doesn’t seem to have changed much.”

What have you bought now?
The woman behind the counter at the post office was in a foul mood that day. I gave her my slip and asked her how her day was. She grunted and walked off to get whatever had arrived then handed me a rectangular shaped brown paper package with something hard in it and addressed to my husband.

Danny's Advise
I just married a good, bad man. I look down at the massive set of diamonds on my finger and suddenly have a pressing desire to see my new husband. He had urgent business to attend to immediately after the wedding, three days ago and I haven’t seen him for more than a few hours since then. There is no question about a honeymoon, as we are on a space station and there is nowhere to go. It was a whirlwind courtship and a very quick marriage proposal, once I tested positive for a high possibility to bear children. I had always been taken care of by my parents or their servants up to three days ago. Now Marcus will take care of me. I’d known Marcus since we were kids and he always treated me with respect and kindness. I grab my brown handmade sweater that I had just finished knitting, and head for the shop where I hope to surprise my husband, by taking him out for lunch.

LBD
The black or the brown? Claire stood in the section of the closet that Clive had assigned to her. The house had been a new build and the master bedroom’s design included two large walk-ins: one for him and one for her. Claire resented the fact that Clive’s athletic wear had migrated to what should have been her closet. She kicked at one of his running shoes, imagining the scent of sweat and dirt wafting from it and permeating her clothes with its aggressive stink.
