What is marriage? A sacred union between two people i'll say. Why call it sacred though?
God loves marriages and so do most of us. I'd say everyone has had a hope of finding their right person and some have but some have not. There is also the few of us who thought we had found the right people before it all came stumbling down and we built it up again...but the hardship in building it again....is something not many can endure. Many opt for starting another building instead of renovating the building they already have, other decide to leave building all together and venture into something else entirely.
If you ask the old people ..be patient they will say. Marriage needs working, you have to be a teammate, marriage needs forgiveness and learning that your spouse is not perfect. We are all doing life for the first time. We all need time to adjust to certain changes. And sometimes we don't adjust instead the situations change us because marriage failed us.
Too many fairy tales going on, making it hard to accept that we are just humans, we make mistakes, and we learn everyday.
Marriage as I call it: is a school. Where there is results according to how hard you work..there is failure,there is punishment and there is success.
We study hard sometimes but end up failing. We get disappointed yes but not for long, we prepare better for the next exam and those that do get results get successful whether is a one time trial or multiple trials.
Some don't try and they fail, some fail even after trying multiple times but, some of them have success after school. After all not everyone's success is based on book smart.
Our lives were never meant to be perfect without any hurdles and so are marriages. And so God told the man in the bible he will leave his family home to build his own and him and his wife will become one flesh.
In the Quran surah 78:8 says " and we created you in pairs "
I'd like to insist it is not threes' or fours' but in pairs, Allahu Akbar.
