Right reasons; Wrong reasons.

Apparently more and more married couples are splitting up. Well at least that's what they claimed in this article that I read on Sunday. I must agree. Divorce is not something unusual anymore among our society. People divorce for various reasons. Whether or not the reasons make sense is not for us to judge. But the writer (of the article) pointed out one question - Are Malaysians getting married for the wrong reason? 


I'm not sure what reasons others have for getting married, but I marry my husband for a few reasons. 

• I enjoy being with him. He always has stories to tell. There has never been a quiet moment between us.
• We don't always share the same view but we could talk about it like adults, digest and debate about it. 
• I know I could get a 5 minutes bear hug every time I came back from a bad day.
• We speak the same language and come from similar family background so, I blend in pretty easily. 
• And most importantly, he has the financial standing which I feel could finance my lifestyle and provide me with the materials. 

So, are those reasons right, or wrong reasons? No one could tell, right?


Yeah I know LOVE is one thing, but I personally feel that love alone is not enough to consider a marriage. There are so many other factors to consider before agreeing to 'sign that death warrant' - according to some people. Hey, but that's ME. If there are people who marry solely due to LOVE, then fine by me. 


So, right reasons or not, who cares? People get married for all sort of reasons. Same goes to divorce. People divorce for 1001 reasons. I look at divorce as the last resort for one's happiness. No one would go through a divorce to be more unhappy than they already are - no matter what reasons they quote. 


So, back to the article. Why even bother questioning if people are getting married for the wrong reasons? Which will eventually lead to another question - So what are the wrong reasons? I don't know. Do you?
