CFC Ain’t for Sissies
What happens when two single people who perfectly knows what they want and knows who they want found each other? If both have the genetic qualities and other essential characteristics they are searching for, especially if the woman feels she is so ripe she could fall off the vine, with certainty they will close the deal and tie the knot under the holy matrimony.
Recently I’ve attended a wedding, it’s the 2nd CFC wedding I’ve been to and this is just the beginning, a lot of people I know in college, work and community are lined up to this sacred ceremony. Last Saturday another pair of smart, able and independent “Singles” made their vows to share the rest of their lives together and I am very happy for them. I’m really not into telling love stories and romance, it is almost impossible to narrate them without sounding like a Sissy. But you know what I think, these kind of stuff, I mean love stories that lasts forever… are actually not for Sissies. Marriage ain’t for Sissies and lazy people. This requires a lot of hard work, courage and wisdom. One is compelled to totally dedicate his life for another, giving up freedom, lifestyle and all other goals and passions will have to be set aside as the family’s welfare suddenly becomes the priority. Especially when a child comes into play, you’ll have to labor hard to provide for his basic needs and as the child grows so does his needs, like higher tuition fees and bigger allowance so he can afford to hangout with friends or go out for a date. Because of this you will be compelled to work harder and beg your boss for a raise and promotion every year. Also when there are disagreements between spouses a lot of compromise will have to take place to keep your raft afloat and steady. So unless you are a Hollywood star or a rich man who lives’s in a country where by simply declaring “Irreconcilable Differences” in your divorce paper could easily change back your civil status, please never ever hastily get into this kind of business.
But despite all the challenges studies says married life is still more rewarding than being single.
Well I guess like all good things in life, it doesn’t come easy without hard work.
So if you really think you’re designed and built for this, if you are ready and every strand of DNA in your body is urging you to engage in this difficult and noble mission, given that you have found a partner that will complement every inch of who you are. Then by all means brother, you are obliged, go ahead, set your appointment with a priest, bishop or the Pope (of course Elvis doesn’t count), get married and propagate our species, continue your lineage and fulfill your obligation to the human race (*wink).
