Marriage

As I mention in the previous post, i went to an engagement party on Sunday. All the way to Punggol. Far Far East...

Anyway, its really 2 marriage on the different sides of the scale that I've came across with the past few days.

Ones where the other spouse from a foreign country, and the other which is from Her World Magazine about Trophy Wife and Trophy Husband.

Quoted from the article:
"Today's trophy wives aren't neglected taitais desperate for love. Attractive, ambitious and well educated, these women are mostly in their late 20s and early 30s, grew up privileged, and are determined to marry well to keep their lifestyles that way."

"Women like them, they claim, marry not for love but out of practicality - to better their lifestyles and keep up with society's expectation"

"We have dinner, chat about his day, discuss the stock market, play with my daughter, then go to bed. Nothing exciting," she says. "But I'm contented."

On this side of the ball game, its because of peer pressure, tradition and culture that's brought up with.
Getting a partner that plays the role of a never-out-of-trend handbag and well XX chromosome contributor.

Its not like its very unnatural. Cos afterall, thats the mind boggling thing in their life.
and hey, its a good life that they live after that. or an even better life then they could get on the singlehood.

The other side of the ball game is a couple who is of considerable age and seeks companionship.
Ready, Able and Willing.

Putting this two accounts ahead...
Hmm... I wonder hows it gonna be like for myself?
What would you go for?
Bread or Love?
Comfort or Character?
What if they were all exclusive?

think...
Its What you want it to be,
not How you want it to be.

and really
I feel,
after the many many many years of marriage, it boils down to compaionship, having that one who understands and is so use to the lifestyle of each other.

The kind butter, the kind of toilet roll. The kind of toothpaste, the kind of shower foam.
The kind of snore, the kind of stink. The kind of in-laws, the kind of siblings.
Oh, the never-ending list.
