"Marriage is like sleeping with your enemy"
This is the funniest bumper sticker I've ever seen, what do you all think? I asked my friend of what was going on with that fella and the reply was, that person must have been badly hurt. Is that your same feeling or you have another version?

Alipapa,
I'm dying to know why! I have a hunch, that you
are trying to say the same thing on that bumper sticker. Please more explanation.
Jamila,
You asked a very good question "Why get married in the first place" The answer to that in my point of view is, we usually get married for egoistic reasons rather than altruistic ones. e.g, seldom we ever hear someone saying they get married to make someone else happy, but instead they are looking for someone to make them happy. Ooooouuuch!!!
Usualy that personal happiness satisfies three objectives:
1-Avoid loneliness (Social being)
2-Secure future (Offspring)
3-Personal growth (A partner who contributes to their personal growth and advancement).
I would leave it here for you to find the most important element that leads to the bumper sticker slogan......
Basra,
Even, it doesn't make sense to me, but I still believe there's some truth behind it and if you analyze it carefully it may make some sense. Let's wait until someone smart tries to explain it.
Ahem, |

Sagittarius,
So you are dying to know why, huh?. Dear relax. it is just damn simple. You shouldn't be rocket scientist to figure out that the real challenge begins when you get married. And if you are woman all your focus will be on to "contain" your husband. You care where has he been, what he has been doing, why has he changed since then, why doesn't he perform in the bed the way he used to when you were new to each other,what is wrong with you that he didn't like, and yeah so many damn why? why? why? that make you confused all along. From there the fight of rat race has just begun and you will find yourself emotionally fighting day in day out. It will turn out that your enemy #1 and the # 1 person you care is your partner. This is the nature of marriage. though it is only way that humans reproduce each other to keep mankind exist going, unfortunately it is both sour and sweet.
I know this is not convincing arguement and i also know that non of those umarried girl will agree with me but i am just writting this if only and only you can remember those words sometime in the futre when your beloved on turns out you enemy #1 and say "Oh boy that bumper tick was damn right. so as the damn alipapa".And
yeah "that is the way IT IS. Something will never change"--unknown to me.

if that is so,
I ask again why marry???
if your beloved one turns out to be your number 1 enemy then brothers that wasn't your beloved one. I haven't married and I'm not married, but I really don't think I have to be married to know that this is not correct.
Sorry Alipapa I think you have had bad luck.......
I've read your postings all over the forums.....and honestly I feel sorry for you......don't take me wrong......cuse I really do feel sorry for you........
Saggitarus
one does not need another one to grow.......
and if that three reasons are reasons to get married for then I can understand what you are saying about "Marriage is like sleeping with your enemy",
for one if you marry just beacuse you whant to avoid loneliness then in the end that person will eventually end up lonely
two if you marry just beacuse you whant to secure the future then you'll end up depending on the other part and that can eventually leed to hatred between the partners |

Alipapa,
So you are saying "Containment" is one of the strategies of the enemy, now I got your point.
Jamila,
Now you got me wrong, because you oversimplified certain things by plainly reversing the true meaning.
1. Avoiding loneliness; plainly put means to satisfy certain human instincts, since the human being is a social being who cannot live (mostly) alone.
2. Secure future; (offspring) through having kids that may take care of you in the future or further carry on your name existence when you're no longer in this world. This, in my opinion is the worst reason to get married, but some people do it all the time (especially our people)
3. Personal growth and advancement; life being a continual learning experience. Then, under one or more of the constraints posed by the other two factors we're obliged to seek life partnership with someone who can flavor our lives with more knowledge, experience, and wit to enhance our contributions within society.
If you still negating these factors, I would be glad to know your list of possibilities.
All,
It's sad that someone had ruined this discussion by enlarging the text area. |

TO:Sagittarius
I just want ask if Marriage is like sleeping with your Enemy I think you didn't understand what so nihilism ah for your live because nobody can he/she live without Marriage also no live in this world without Marriage but id depend on who you Marriage and what type of person he/she might be so to answer your question think Marriage some muhiim ah oo kaa maqan.
The other hand without people getting marriage the world will be destroyed because no one can live without person.
in the other side I think you might want to live or have what the Western people call girl friend or boy friend which destroying whole world and brink every time millions of desise like AIDS and some other bad desise so brothers and sisters we must make sure what we are talking about its very very important to make sure this world must be clean and health all the time |
