The Contract that takes you to Hell

What is marriage?

It is a piece of paper (they call it a contract; marriage contract) signed by 2 people and it promises both parties more than a dozen of annoying responsibilities, sacrifices, tolerance, acceptance of the other, and most importantly the challenge of being able to live your every single minute with a totally different person from the one you thought you are marrying... (If my English teacher saw that loooong sentence back in college, she would have given me an F)...

Marriage is the hardest step to be taken by a couple. And the fact that her guy actually went through the process of proposing, getting engaged and married, only means that he either does not know what he's about to live in or he is retarded and thinks that he can do it...

I always thought that marriage is the best thing in the world... The key to my eternal happiness... This is because firstly, I am an extremely romantic creature and secondly because I adore kids and can't wait to have my own... However, to realise the fact that I have to tolerate the controlling nature of a man, accept his difference and be the one to always make the sacrifices and always try to make him feel that he is better and more important than me changed all the dreamy images of marriage I always had... Its all about cooking the meals he likes eating, washing his clothes, taking care of the kids, giving him support and confidence, making him happy, which definitely involves sexual satisfaction so that he doesnt go looking for another woman.... I am not saying that men are bad... Women are extremely annoying as well... They love shopping (at the most expensive stores) and they expect their husbands to go with them not understanding that it is not of their nature... They love gold and usually expect it on every occasion... They place a great financial burden on their husbands and demand more than they can afford... They nag a lot and adore talking about problems in the wrong time.. well, both genders/sexes suck and usually are selfish enough to abuse the partner or end a marriage...

Why is it then that we go for marriage?

because our religion prohibits us from having extra-marital relationships in all ways... The fact that I'm a Muslim, middle-eastern makes me obliged by my society and culture to only love and be in a relationship with the guy I'm married to... I totally respect my religion and culture... but what I never accepted in my head is marrying someone I don't know (arranged marriage)... I would never tolerate or accept the controlling or bossy, demanding attitude of a guy I don't know or love enough...
