Love v Marriage

L o v e (the right person you meet at the right time)

M a r r i a g e (the wrong person you meet at the right time)

She’s the one you imagine doing your dishes, the one you imagine making your bed every morning. She’s the one whose looks are pleasant enough to have your kids.

Marriage – she’s the confident independent one. She earns her own keep and leads her own life. You probably didn't even think you’d fall for a girl like her. But this moment happens to most men, especially working men. You wake up one day and realize that all of a sudden, you've lost interest in fun and short-lived pursuits. You’re tired of the chase. You’re tired of hellos that only end up goodbyes. You realize that at the end of the day, all you really want is someone to be genuinely there for you. Not someone to get frisky with in bed but someone to cuddle to sleep.

By the time you meet her, you recognize meaningful relationships are built on trust, not lust. You look at your beer belly and finally accept the fact that everyone (including you) isn't always going to be young and fit.

She is ultimately the one you spend the rest of your life with, not because she’s hot, not because she’s fun but because she’s what you need. She’s the face you won’t grow sick of over time. She’s the independent woman who engages you intellectually, not just physically. She’s the woman who understands what it means to have had a hard day at work. More importantly, she does not need to be pampered all the damn time.  She understands that love is more than just roses but that love is about being there for each other. Most importantly, she’s the partner who’s capable enough for you to build your dreams with. Whether it’s raising your kids or maintaining your future home, you know she’s up to it.
