The experience of delightful sense of togetherness is one of the many reasons of why people marry.
It takes two to tango to get married but it takes one to change it., a marriage counselor once said. Psychologists say that the roots of marital disenchantment are usually express shortly after marriage.
When reality sets in over fantasy; where adjustment period reveals others’ imperfections; shortcomings suddenly take an ominous dimension; one union reverts to two identities as the fantasy of romantic oneness begins to fade; requests become demand and rudeness replaces romance. These are the basic realities of marriage at its worst we need to face.
Notwithstanding, that what marriage hurts most is unresolved anger. The greatest killer of love and marriage is anger that is stored in the heart. Anger is a continuous build up of little embers of frustrations, hurts and fears. If we don’t resolve them, they simply kill the love that was once there. Anger can do a lot of change in the heart and at worst, love can fail. Then divorce, separation and disintegration is inevitable.
