Marriage; is a moment everyone looks forward to. An institution, a life with boo, a moment of building, a moment of love and happiness, moments of pains and tearing apart, sweet, lovely, amazing moments, unpleasant moments.
It is an experience with different definitions and each definition comes with experience from the person defining it, it could be an experience of thrills, love, happiness, purpose finding, and even getting to know more about yourself, it could be an experience of pains, and struggles, tearing apart, discovering what you have never known about your partner that sucks, and It could be an experienced mix with ups and downs.
Either way, marriage is a beautiful thing! It is an institution ordained by God to meet your significant other, someone that gives you thrills and chills and makes you comfortable in the most amazing way.
It is something that helps build a strong and better relationship with the person you've been with, sleeping on the same matrimonial bed, loving each other, building one another, basking in the moments when things are going fine, and fighting the challenges that come with it.
Marriage is a lifetime! Divorce can be traumatic, so it is better to look before you leap. In the sense that, your significant other must be someone you are ready to do marriage with, someone you won't get tired of loving, and someone that reciprocates the love and energy in the relationship. And also taking notes of the red flags in your relationship before taking the relationship a step further.
The following are things to look out for saying I do or before putting a band in her finger.
Kindness: Kindness is underrated in the world today and it is very important to look out for kindness in your partner. Sometimes love is not enough and marriage can get so demanding and challenging, but, a kind partner will always suffice. When the adrenaline rush and gush are depreciating, kindness can be the fuel that surges the energy of love and happiness in marriage. The personality of your significant other is a factor to be considered
Compatibility over perfection: Perfection is only a mirage and the urge to be perfect is draining especially in a romantic relationship. The compatibility will make you comfortable with your partner. Regardless of the flaws, you will always be relaxed around your significant other
physically attractive: Beauty will fade but you should not marry someone that you cannot boast of, or introduce to your friends and family. Physical attraction is a necessity and that's on period!
And many more!
I view marriage in the context of a beautiful, amazing, and intriguing experience, each day spent with your partner opens you up to another page of discovery. The discovery varies from basking in the embodiments of love, joy, and happiness they bring in shades to a discovery of shocking behaviors you never thought they had.
Some days you are Cuddled up in the arms of the love of your life, some days you are sleeping backing them, turning your face to check if they are also going to turn their face, and sometimes, your eyes can meet one another's. You missed the cuddling, the stroking of your hair, the touch, and eye contact but it's just another downtime in your marriage.
Marriage is filled with ups and downs, a union between two partners that are ready to make it work.
