A couple of months from now, Ron and I will be officially married and now that we’re on the same roof, there are plenty of stuff to argue with and some hooey to talk about. Trust me, living on the same roof for a couple of months would seem like years already. That’s probably why marriage has always been a nightmare to those who believe in fairy tales and a muckle to those who DON’T BELIEVE IN MAKE BELIEVE.
I am neither a fairy-taler nor a make believer but as someone who is much grounded, It’s just rational to think that marriage can impossibly last perhaps you treat your own marriage as your own A-B-C.
Earlier, we decided to do a quick detour to a mall nearby. Dying to buy magazines and books to read, we ended flipping through old book pages on a vintage bookstore. As I was busy looking at old magazines, Ron told me to check out a framed quote on a corner that prints “RULES FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE”.
Reading through it, made us realize that there were a few things on the list we were completely guilty of. So we decided of buying it (though were only supposed to buy the essentials). The frame will set as a reminder to the both of us when we’re in a middle of an argument.
Now, I have it hanging in our room. The wooden frame looks pretty sweet on our old wall. I can’t stop getting the same feeling of amusement every time I read each bullet. I could say this does not only apply to marriages, but also to individuals who are now struggling in a relationship. The rules may look pretty simple, but trust me it is harder than you thought it would be.
Ciao!
