There has been some incident that's been tickling my insides for a while. The other day we met up with this kiasu couple with two kid's at Darren's (extended bro) place. They were freakin strange. Thinking only about money. Lol...money facer's!

Anyway, when we got home, my mum told me that the woman was the guy's second wife. Apparently the first one divorced him because she found him "TOO BORING". I was like what the F***!? I laughed hard at that statement but yet, felt sad.

It really surprises me to see so many people treating marriage like it's a game. Where did the sacredness and beauty of marriage go to? To me, this is such a sad phenomenon. Why do people bother getting married when they are unsure of either party?

Yea...I know of the initial stages of romance/ relationships when there is always that burning passion. Everything seems so wonderful and perfect. But as time goes by (Casablanca theme song playing in the background), that passion fades away. And that's when the marriage reality kicks in and UH OH! Quarrels become frequent. Both parties become unhappy and try to find excuses to leave each other.

But you know, marriage is like a promise, a commitment made by the husband and wife to be together forever. What about that "for better or for worse?" Just some decoration to make the wedding ceremony seem sooooo ....ah, I dont know! I feel that despite being sick of one another (aka. fallen out of love) both should still stay together and work hard at making it work.

The only valid reasons to leave one another should be only if one of them cheats on the other. The poor one who got cheated on should definitely move on and find someone more worthwhile whilst the cheating spouse should just CRASH AND BURN! Or, get struck down by lightning and sent to the lowest level of hell. People are just selfish creatures and think only of themselves. Before you think of cheating on your spouse/ gf/ bf, think twice. Imagine how they would feel.

But apart from that, what other valid reason can there be? If you can't stand that person, then dont get married in the first place. That is why people should always go out with one another for at least 3 years before getting married. Early marriage usually ends up unhappy.

And remember, nothing lasts. Don't go into a marriage and expect a fairy tale ending. Cuz you would most likely end up disappointed.

Marriage should never be treated lightly. I hope the world would come to their senses. And divorce, should always be avoided and the last resort. And should only be done with a valid reason.

And yea...im pissed off by people who treat it lightly. Sorry.
