Hey there, youngsters! Let’s talk about this marriage thing. You know, what is your relationship to each other when married? It’s a big question, ain’t it?
Well, I been married, once upon a time. Long time ago, it feels like. And I tell ya, marriage, it ain’t always easy. But it’s somethin’, that’s for sure. When you married, you become… well, you become like two peas in a pod. You are husband and wife, stuck together, for better or worse.
First off, that marriage thing, it’s more than just a piece of paper. It’s a promise, see? A big one. You promise to stick together, no matter what. Rain or shine, good times or bad. When you are married, you are not alone no more. You are a family.
And when you’re married, you gotta be there for each other. That’s what love is, being there for your partner, your husband or your wife. It means being there to help with chores, to listen when they need to talk, and to hold their hand when things are tough. Like when the crops fail, or the cow gets sick. You are in it together, the good and the bad. You gotta have each other’s backs, you know?
- You gotta care for each other.
- You gotta talk to each other.
- That’s important, talking.
- Just being together.
Now, some folks think that perfect relationship is a real thing. Ha! I’ll tell ya somethin’ – ain’t no such thing as perfect. Everyone fights sometimes. Everyone gets mad. That’s just life, especially when you’re sharing a bed and a roof. But you learn to work it out, mostly.
Being married, it changes things. It really does. You’re not just boyfriend and girlfriend anymore, fooling around. It becomes more serious, maybe. You live together, you share your lives. The relationship after marriage becomes your whole life. You might even have kids, and then, whoo boy, that’s a whole other story!
And that intimate relationship, well… it changes too. You might not be jumpin’ each other’s bones every night like when you were first datin’. You get tired, you get busy. Life happens. But that’s okay. It’s still important, you know, that closeness. But it’s different. It’s deeper, maybe. It’s about carin’ for each other, not just… you know.
Signs of true love, you say? Well, it’s about respect, I reckon. Treatin’ each other right. Not yellin’ and screamin’ all the time. It’s about understandin’ each other. You meet each other’s expectations. Knowin’ what makes ’em tick. And carin’, yeah, that’s the big one. Really carin’ about the other person, more than yourself, even.
A woman, she needs love. Yeah, she does. And affection, that’s important. Holdin’ hands, a little kiss now and then. Just showin’ that you care. Men, they need that too, even if they don’t always say it. The relationship between husband and wife is like a dance, or something.
Some folks, they think marriage is just a legal thing. Somethin’ you do for the government or somethin’. But it’s more than that. It’s a bond. You become a family, right? That’s what it means, family. The relationship is different after marriage, it’s like you are tied together with a strong rope.
Now, this other thing, a romantic relationship, that’s different. You can be all lovey-dovey and serious, but it ain’t the same as marriage. Marriage is a bigger step. It’s for keeps, or at least it’s supposed to be.
Husband and wife, that’s what you are when you’re married. It’s a special thing. You share everything. Your hopes, your dreams, your worries. You help each other out, you lean on each other. It ain’t always easy, like I said. There’s gonna be bumps in the road. But if you love each other, and you work at it, it can be a good thing. A real good thing.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this whole marriage business. It’s a journey, that’s for sure. A long one, if you’re lucky. And hopefully, a good one. The relationship after marriage is the most important thing in your life. Just remember to be kind to each other, and try to make each other happy. That’s the secret, I reckon. Just be good to each other. That’s all that matters in the end.
