People get wedded,not married.

If I get married, I want to be very married.”
– Audrey Hepburn

The quote above has been countered many times by the two lovely soul who had vowed to care for one another no matter what.

It'll make you question them, were they ever true to themselves?

Why did they get united if it'll end up with them hating one another?

Was there really love in the first place or was it just lust?

Lots of questions will rile around that you'd not have enough answer to them.

What does it mean to get wedded?

According to me, wedding is the official joining of two souls to begin the journey of marriage.

Many people get ready to be wedded and not to be married.

Marriage failed because of this. You'd see ladies going all around to get the best white dress to fit while the guys will get their suits.

Parents will go around preparing for the day to be announced.

They will be lots of jubilations and happy faces going around on the said day.

The day will end up being the best day of the couples life sometimes and mark the beginning of their life journey.

The journey of being married.

Marriage, according to me is showing devotion towards the union of the two souls united.

The word devotion there isn't followed because when you get devoted to something then you will make it work and give it all you have.

When the two souls begin their journey to being married, arises different issues.

From one trouble to another that it gonna seem they were never in love.

It'll will make people question their courtship.

Didn't they see that they were not compatible then?

Why delve into what they aren't sure of?

All these questions all boil down to some answers.

Some answers to questions asked.

Money: some get married just because of money and so fail to follow the right process of knowing who the person really is.

Family: These set of people also add to why people rush into marriage. Many families will push their sons and daughters into this and use their age against them especially to their daughters.

Society: Mocking goes around by the members of the society when there is failure to get married, they'll push these souls to get married without giving them the time to get to know themselves better.

Friends: They also contribute into pushing their other friends into marriage because they are married and the others aren't.

Conclusion.

Many fall into the trap of getting wedded without putting marriage in mind.

They are all about what will I be putting on.

How gigantic the party should be, clothes to be worn by people, foods to be shared and others.

Marriage is a journey many aren't ready for.

They've forgotten it is a life journey. Some get married then get scared or the marriage overwhelm them and they want to quit.

You'd hear the husband saying, I don't love her anymore, she isn't the way she used to be, she has gotten fat.

You'd hear from the wife also, he is too childish, he doesn't care for me like he used to, if I had known, I wouldn't have married him.

Marriage is course that doesn't have a manual to it.

Everybody just speak from their life experiences and from others.

Some will say , cook for him well and never deny him sex and he'll be yours.

Some will say, get her gifts everyday and praise her on daily basis.

The truth is, even after doing all these, some will steal cheat.

Some won't be contented, others will have more things to say.

It not just about getting wedded, are you truly ready for marriage?

Are you ready for the bumpy ride because the road is never smooth?

Are you ready for the jabs thrown from different directions?

Are you ready at all?
