today i went to church as usual for mass.
today's sermon was very interesting cause it involved marriage.
the gospel was actually based on the wedding where Jesus turned water into wine because the wine that was supposed to be served to the guest had run out.
so, the priest actually elaborated on the process of marriage.
he said that at some point in time, the marriage will run out of wine.
and that it's the duty of the spouses to find a new type and new flavour of wine in which both likes.
this way, the marriage will never be boring, and the love between the couple will never die.
i felt that what the priest said made complete sense and i totally agreed.

the day before, i accompanied my mum to her birthday makeover and the lady boss of the shop said that it wasn't necessary for every girl or women to get married.
some may choose to enter that path, but not all of the people had to.
it's a personal choice and it should be influenced by peers, parents or even yourself.
and i also agreed.

and i was reading a book about the sacrifices that one has to make in a marriage.
although it was a fiction book, every detail about how much one has to sacrifice for other was true.
the lady may need to sacrifice her freedom and career for the sake of the family and the children, and sometimes, even housework.
the man may need to adapt to having a female species around all the time, and not play around with any other (which is very difficult because men's biological makeup does not suit monogamy).
many many other things are involved as well.
this viewpoint is totally true and i cannot say that i object to it.

so many different ways to view marriage.
marriage does create problems.
marriage is something so unpredictable and so absurd.
it may work well, but it can also give you hell.
it can last long, but it might also die out like a firework.
it can be a step into a whole new world, but you just don't know whether the new world resembles heaven or hell.
so, to all couples whose marriage have been strong and firm, and to all couples who have decided to enter a new world together - marriage, may you be blessed with the Mr. or Miss Right and may the wine between the both of you last forever.
