LOVE - MARRIAGE



Love has many different meanings and takes an important role in our life also. It is an intensive feeling inside us which we want to forward to somebody but in some special case we have to keep it hidden in your heart. The love between boy and girl can start by many partner’s interesting character even at the first sight… People can fall in love by her/his intelligence, attractive body, huge property or power in social. Some body falls in love as normal way but other one just want to know how to love or even love just for fun….... Love is essentially an abstract concept, much easier to experience than to explain. In ordinary case, it usually refers to interpersonal love, its symbol maybe marriage, expectation of live together with partner forever. Marriage is an interpersonal relationship with governmental, social, or religious recognition, usually intimate and sexual, and often created as a contract, or through civil process. The most common form of marriage unites a man and a woman as husband and wife and often are declared by a wedding ceremony.

In general, from love to marriage it will be a big turning-point in life of everybody. Because that is the beginning of a new life, combining two families into one together with changes, challenges. Through that, you will feel differences with single life before. And for a negative example: while you want to receive romantic actions, enjoy freedom for shopping, travel... but in front of you, the worry about expense in family, take care of children, housework to do will turn you down. Maybe sometime you feel boring and tired, enthusiasm will start to dim in you, even you have recognized what you would lose when you compared your life before marriage with after marriage. It seems love and marriage like the rule of life, maybe we know their definition, but we will not really understand and not experience if we’ve never spent that time before.

Finding a partner

In order to get married, it is necessary to find a suitable partner. A partner may be found by the person wishing to be married via a process of courtship. Alternately, two marriage-able people may be matched by a third party, typically with the match finalized only if both candidates approve the union. This is known as an arranged marriage.

The choice between courtship and arranged marriage is made by the person seeking marriage or by his or her parents. In some cases, the parents will be ready to force an arranged marriage because of cultural tradition or for some other special reason. It is worth noting, however, that in many cases the person seeking marriage is comfortable with having his or her marriage arranged and, even disregarding parental preference, would freely choose an arranged marriage. Actual forced marriage is common in only a few communities and often attracts harsh criticism even from people who are generally in favor of arranged marriage.

Given a choice, the preference for the method of courtship or arranged marriage is determined by whether a person believes that marriage should be based on emotion or logic. At one end of the scale is a person who believes that there is only one unique "soul mate" suitable for them. A partner is typically chosen based on the depth of emotional connection experienced with their partner during the courtship phase of the relationship. At the other end of the scale is a person who believes that there are many suitable partners, and typically views marriage chiefly as a means to start a family. The deep emotional bond between partners characteristic of good marriages is more likely to be viewed as something which can be developed through nurture and cultivation with any suitable partner. Most people fall somewhere between these two extremes.

Home Early


A blonde guy gets home early from work and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom. He rushes upstairs to find his wife naked on the bed, sweating and panting. "What's up?" he says. "I'm having a heart attack," cries the woman.He rushes downstairs to grab the phone, but just as he's dialing, his 4-year-old son comes up and says "Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Ted's hiding in your closet and he's got no clothes on!" The guy slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his screaming wife, and rips open the wardrobe door. Sure enough, there is his brother, totally naked, cowering on the closet floor. "You rotten bastard," says the husband, "my wife's having a heart attack, and you're running around naked, scaring the kids!"
