Namaste! Marriage per say, has no time limit. It will last as long as the couple feel the need to keep nourishing the
relationship. As long as priorities are not misplaced, a marriage will last. Only Westerners come up with all kinds of
theories or ideologies. You will never find a Hindu coming up with such ridiculous suggestions (even if the thought
crossed his mind). Whether marriage is an institution or social requirement, it is necessary for a healthy community.
Obviously marriages are not made in heaven (as we would all like to think), and it is heartbreaking to go through a
broken marriage. Show me a couple who, on their wedding day, had intentions for a divorce. Someone mentioned the
word 'temptation'.... is temptation the main reason for a split? Before a third-party arrives into the scene, there's already
a crack in the wood. Cracks appear when the wood is not preserved well with oils or wax, polished into its grains.
Under the daily exposure of heat radiated by the couple, the wood begins to dry and in a matter of time (7 years maybe)
the cracks appear and all you need it to insert a wedge to break the wood into two. But if the wood is well preserved,
it will last longer than its expected life span. People get married for all kinds of reasons... green card; convenience;
business; peer pressure; parental pressure; pregnancy; politics; compassion; last but not least...for love. Whatever
the reason may be to tie the knot, whats most important is the reason to untie it. There's no right or wrong answers
when it comes to matters of the heart. No politician can dictate to those who plan to walk down the aisle or take
7 steps around agni saatchi. No law can keep lovers apart. No distance can break their hearts.
THAT IS THE POWER OF LOVE!
