"Till death do us part."
It sounds like a perfect and most beautiful promise one could ever make to a soulmate. However, don't they say that soulmates have that kind of love which can live past three lives? Then why do we expect love to end with death? And why do we have to start a new life of marriage with the promise of death?
"Till death do us part..." is only beautiful to hear. The reality is morbid.
Why can't we change that promise to, "and they lived happily ever after." Forever is vague but it represents endless possibilities as well. Endless beautiful possibilities.
Marriage is not a ring worn on the finger or a sign on a piece of paper. Marriage is a promise in itself. A very intimate promise between two individuals who decide to share the rest of their lives together. Marriage is a responsibility. Its something to be endured and yet savored.
