This blog is inspired by my many friends (married and single) who want to know from first hand experience how marriage really is. Most times I refrain from answering questions categorically because in my opinion, I am still pretty new to the business called marriage. Nonetheless, I have come to the realization that I can't be too new to have learnt one or two things worthy of sharing.

 

Whenever people ask me "how is married life"?, my answer has always been the same- "interesting".

Interesting is a word used to describe a thing or an event that holds or arouses a person's attention and interest. Married life literarily holds and arouses my attention. That word simply encapsulates my views about marriage.

 

It is interesting to realize the great difference between marriage in your mind and marriage in reality. You know how you have always imagine how you are going to do this and do that when you get married? Well, its not always the same in marriage because all the while you were daydreaming, you totally  forgot to feature your spouse in your little drama... Or maybe you did, but just forgot that he/she is not your "scripted robot" but has the capacity to feel and do as he/she pleases- not necessarily as you imagined.

 

It is also interesting to know that these differences and discoveries in marriage can be super fun (depending on how it is handled).

 

This is an opportunity to share certain insights from my experiences so far that could be a source of inspiration to somebody. Marriage is a beautiful thing. Many people have gory stories to tell about marriage but I still  believe in the Cinderella theme of the Love story of Marriage. There is no one formula to making a marriage work, however with experience and The Word, Success is inevitable.

 

I definitely am not an island and would love to hear your opinions and views as we experience marriage together- single or married.

 

Cheers!
