| | Men all over have always been told that women are hard to understand. They are different! Don't even try to understand them, just love them. Well said whoever came up wiht that thought. He (I am assuming it must have been a man 'cause any woman in her right mind would most probably keep it to herself or she will give a long list of how to be loved and what a man should to do - in other words INSTRUCTIONS!) must have been a very wise man. Now for those thinking surely I must be a feminist lemme proudly say I'm not!! I am writing this because of late, I have come to realise that being a woman is definitely no simple thing!!!
I have been married for almost five months now -- never ever did I think that I was a complicated person. Not once. I mean, okay, we all know girls are not like boys and we think differently etc. I had somehow believed that I was a fairly simple person, of course wuth some idiosyncracies just like every other person has. But when God puts two completely different people together - little do we know what awaist us.
I am not saying that marriage is a horrific rock and roll experience. It is anything but that. It is one of the most beautiful gifts that god gives to us........so pure, so personal and so intimate. Its extraordinary and divine. Yes, for those not called to celibacy, you have a wonderful life ahead. But that is not where the story ends (believe me I know what I am talking about). Marriage brings out that very character in you, which you probably have never even revealed it to your best friends - or flat mates.
When you marriage is centred around Jesus, your partner's act of selflessness and agape love only reveals how short you fall of what Jesus requires us to give in marriage. For every character of your partner's purity, your deep sense of impurity is reflected. It is really quite challenging.
I really don't know why on earth I am writing this. I really was about to write something else but I guess I got carried away......hehehehe!!!!
I could write a whole lot more but alas, my work beckons me. Until we meet again.......mangtha!!!
