Attraction, like, love, life....

Yan’s colleague juz registered for marriage 2 weeks ago…and this thurs i’ll be going to a wedding dinner of a sec sch classmate…. Is this a sign or wad?

A relationship starts with one of the 2 liking the other…. Secretly beo-ing from behind pillar, giving extra attention to wad he/she says, always be looking out for tat person among a crowd, heart thumping when the person walks by….. making excuses, walking all over the corridor, making a detour, staying back in class a little longer….. to take juz 1 more glance at him/her…

As the 2 know each other more…started as friends, a plain platonic relationship… enjoying each others’ company…not knowing tat they haf fallen for each other…not realizing tat the day always feel incomplete when the other nv popped by tat day… until suddenly one day one of them finds out tat he/she might lose each other… either tat person has a liking for another, or for some reason, they haf to be apart… the feeling of heartache comes….

Lives of couples (attached but single still..) often decorated with colours, laughter, joy and happiness… sad moments are of course shared too… together, they get by days, wks, mth, yrs… troubles, obstacles, joy, pain… care, concern, greetings, wishings…. Sharing and enriching each other’s life….

“Wilt thou love him/her, comfort him/her, honour, and keep him/her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him/her, so long as ye both shall live?”

couples “tied” (not tied by pressure of vow, but I mean tied in the sense tat they r married to each other….) by marriage haf vowed to stay by each other, for better or worse… can u really find a person whom u’ll truly say tat u love? LOVE in this sense… means LOVE, the family love, the responsible love, the undying kind of love…that u’ll give in all u haf for the well-being and the happiness for tat person…..

yes I know tat no one knows for sure wad is coming into our paths in the future…wad’s going to happen or wadsoever blah blah…. I guess it’s for each couples’ own good to maintain a relationship till “as long as both shall live”…to make sure that the 2 lives that united as 1 during marriage…do not divert again…. not only because of responsibility by vow, but out of loving tat person….

But then again, if the relationship is not well maintained, will “responsibility” holds the 2 together still? Or will it be better that the 2 r not held, only by “responsibility”? wad then is "love", and wad abt "sharing of lives"?

Quoted-- "I John take thee Jane to my wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."
