Joy Of Love And Marriage Term Paper

Joy of Love and Marriage Small things are lots of fun. Hence, small things can be disaster too. It's a very common situation in one's marriage life that one of the couple gets bored just because of minor matters. Boredom is intoxicating. No, it is not about boredom to one's being, it's the boredom when the lawn gets too high to ignore of cutting, when pets get too many (for another intensive and uncontrollable breeding season) to feed, when the family's favorite barbershop closes by and moves its location fifteen miles farther, then everyone will argue, "Somebody's got to drive us there, and who will that be?"

People in fact cannot neglect those little business. If possible, working out simple things can prevent from marriage catastrophe, and lead them to delicious spices.

Busy couples often find troubles from trivial matters. My wife, Julie and I understand how they feel when they have to deal with them. We also have them sometimes. It is just every time there is a good chance to have a cup of coffee or defeat each other upon a hilarious monopoly board, the "responsible" thinking comes, perhaps just before I roll the dice and ready to buy another housing complex.

Oh, no, honey, I think we forgot something."

Oh please, not now."

Oh yes, please go now! I think you forgot to put the garbage out for the last two days, and I think the scratching noise must be Mrs. Bryson's bulldogs trying to unpack the loads since this morning."

Oh, no! Not again!"

The problem is both of us have never been so good in remembering things; those simple, everyday things.

What can one say about being a forgetful person? Having a flaw could be a disaster. It could be just one from another tons of differences one may find after...

Nobody is perfect, and anybody in the world knows that. Sometimes couples also claim that they know that, but if they do, why do they fight with each other complaining that the flaws drive them mad? So, how much can somebody tolerate each other's flaws?
Julie and I think so. We hope that we would deal with it in a better way than the fighting couples. Even before one could realize how dangerous those mistakes may risk to the marriage, one may think positively in advance what a dull life he or she may expect from a perfect marriage. It may feel like living in heaven, but since nothing is better than the real heaven, a worldly heaven may be a little bit scary.

For me the flaw is the blessing of the marriage. At least that is what I thought. Even sometimes flaws can be the reason why one marries a person.

A love Julie very much. Sometimes, too much. I adore her since we met at the stupid gas station where the shopkeeper always ripped my five dollar changes off and pretended he had gave me them. At that time I thought she was perfect. She was a beautiful lady in red sweater who happened to meet me three times every Tuesday afternoon at the same place getting some gas for her minivan. She was also the one who always reminded me that I hadn't got my change. I was impressed by her attention.

One thing, from the other thousand ones, that I thought about her when we got married, was that she would be my savior who would always remind me on things that I forgot. Weeks after that I realized I was wrong. She was a worse forgetful person than I was. She can't leave home, or even live, without her organizer. We both burst in laughter when she told me that it was not because she was careful to notice how I forgot my changes at the gas station. She…
