Holding hands... yes

Kissing... no

These are basic rules, but they can change at any time. What doesn't change in life? For now, let's keep the basic rules aside until they change.

Cuban parents on one side, Mexican parents on the other side and a bride and groom with different cultures!

Cultures should have beauties that entertain people, not divide them, and our differences are always our richness.

In many cultures, weddings are ceremonies that cause tears and happiness for the girl's side at the same time.

Couples who love each other and decide to take the first step into the sacred institution of marriage introduce and integrate people who have never met each other under the name of "yesterday's man".

source

The acquaintance and mingling suddenly turns into a rivalry centred on the wedding to be held. After a while, the rivalry turns into an entertaining war between the in-laws. The main reasons for the war;

  • Who's gonna do the wedding

  • How much money to spend at the wedding

  • Where the wedding will take place

  • How many guests will attend the wedding

Isn't it impossible to reach an agreement? When we add the cultural differences, it seems even more difficult to make a truce.

In fact, let's go back before the wedding preparations and the meeting of the in-laws, I'm talking about the first meal where the bride's family recognises the groom.

source

When a marriage that started very happily is about to end in a quarrel after several fruits (children) and many years, one of the fruits (children) presents the boy she is on the way to marry to her family. Unable to tell their daughter on her happiest day that they are separating, the parents shelve the idea of divorce to put it back on the shelf.

A role within a role! And opposite feelings, opposite actions!

Is marriage a dying institution?

My answer binds me, your answer binds you, and the answers given by independent lives will always vary.

source

How should we interpret the occurrence of disasters such as a storm or a bridge collapsing at a time when the wedding preparations are in full swing?

And have you ever seen a bride shopping in a wedding dress for her own wedding?

The father who tries to turn his daughter's marriage into the salvation of his own marriage is the most profitable man in the ceremony.

It is another dimension of showing that you love someone instead of saying "I love you" when you focus your entire career plan on the place where they choose to live because of your love for them. It is also obvious that it requires a quick wit to understand.

Father of the Bride film is the reason for all the above thoughts and the story it contains. I should add that it is a fun romantic, comedy film. Andy Garcia, who plays the role of a wonderful father of a girl, is a little far from his typical appearance, but I can say that he is successful.

And let me go back to the basic rules with which I started this article.

Now;

Holding hands, yes!
Dancing, yes!
Kissing, yes!

Long live love and the institution of marriage formed by couples who respect it!

hahaha! Nice to remember this things, the old movie that was starred by "Steve Martin", 1991 version. I loved the ups and downs especially with the 1st series. The comedy was heart warming and everything in it is just to make her baby girl happy. I haven't seen the latest version, I hope to see on the weekend. Thank u for sharing.

As for this title, hmmm... as divorce and annulment are slowly pacing up, perhaps in due time "Marriage" will be a "fairy tale to be told", happily-ever-after is reduced to a temporal state. Finding "forever" will be like, 1 in a million.

Maybe marriages shouldn't be packaged as happily ever after. I think this could set one up for an unrealistic expectation of what the institution of marriage is. So it's like entering into an arrangement without fully understanding it, waking up to the realities of that arrangement, and then deciding, maybe you want out. Maybe we should take more time to explain about the partnership component in lasting marriages, and even the sacrifices and compromises that must be made- on both sides- to achieve success.

"happily ever after" is a package bore out of a when one has found "forever" with someone. A summation of the ups and downs, beautifully summarized as such to have conquered the struggles of time. As "fairy-tale" shared with its short-live story, after such fight/endeavour, they live to survive all those and surpassed it, thus "happily-ever-after" that one cannot live without. Marriages that stands the test of time, only romanticized by such an phrase.

I absolutely agree with what you say, there are already groups that are considered legal by law or beliefs that are trying to encourage marriage and guide the new generations.

The statistics show that young people are being turned away from marriage and becoming parents. I think this will continue to progress, maybe it will take many years, but the one in a million chance you mentioned will one day come true.

Oh! I don't think it will be long that majority of the population will be in this state, considering the costs of "divorce" or "annulment" and the troubles going through legalization. It's happening these days, "partners" are already being considered as legal - no commitments.

This is particularly true to a friend who's "living" with a partner with 2 kids and no plans of tying the knot. And she is looking forward to work abroad where her "partner" is hesitant because he really has no legal claims over her and the kids. Her decision though, but can't help that "relationship" is really this downgraded that commitment has become too frustrating. It a "no-binding" relationship and that anytime you can just change partners. Just my thoughts. I'm not against it, but its sad because... too many things to tackle or its just me, old-fashioned. hahaha! Love the interaction, thank you for sharing.

Love this. "Cultures should have beauties that entertain people, not divide them, and our differences are always our richness." - Well said.

No, I do not think marriage is a dying institution. Maybe the reverence in which it was held in the past may have changed because of changing value systems, ways of life, etc. But I believe in the beauty and sanctity of a good marriage. Then again, 14 plus years... I'm biased. And so, like you said, "My answer binds me..."

I agree with you that marriage should be a sacred institution, I would like to be wrong, but unfortunately statistics show that young people are moving away from marriage and being parents.

And when you look into it, you can see that there are so many new reasons that have been emerging lately that are eroding the institution of marriage. Even internet addiction is just one of them!

Multiple reasons, yes. The internet and social media, demanding schedules, finances, shifting goals and priorities, etc. We live in a different time. Still, I think marriage will stand the test of time, particularly in marriages where there is love, understanding, and compromise.

Marriage is not a do or die affair.
