Life is indeed cruel to men. When they are born their mothers get
compliments and flowers, when they get married their brides get
presents and publicity and when they die their wives get the
sympathies and the insurance money. I sincerely believe that
whosoever termed the fair sex as the weaker sex has done an unfair
thing since the weaker sex is indeed the stronger sex because of
the weakness of the stronger sex for the weaker sex.
The world is full of men who convert this weakness into a lifelong
bondage, euphemistically called 'marriage'. Alas, they forget that
as bachelors they were longingly looked upon by the weaker sex as
'a thing of beauty and BOY forever' and they roamed around like a
rolling stone that gathers no boss. But unwittingly, like fools,
they rush into a venture where even angels fear to tread. They are
perhaps too innocent to realise that marriage is the name of the
game where the man loses his bachelor's degree and the woman gets
her master's degree.
But different bachelors have different compulsions to walk into
this bondage. Sometimes stealing a kiss leads to 'life
imprisonment' - a perfect example of crime and punishment. Some
others walk into this trap after calculating that it is cheaper to
marry a girl and keep her home than not to marry and take her out.
But those who marry in haste repent in leisure also. It is true
that marriages are made in heaven but when the couple join hands on
the earth it becomes just another union that defies management. As
the resonance of the wedding recede into the background the notes
of discord start appearing and the 'better half' starts looking
like the bitter half. It does not take long for the man to wonder
what happened to the girl he married and for the girl to wonder
what happened to the man she didn't. But most often the discord
happens on account of the average husband's ambition to be able to
afford what his wife is spending. As it always happens in such
cases, the joint account is never overdrawn by the wife, it is
always under-deposited by the husband.
Old couples however say that such differences between husband and
wife are only spice of conjugal relationships; for, where there is
no difference there must be a vast degree of indifference. The
harmony arising out of love is the essence that sustains marital
happiness. It has certain well defined secrets. To be happy with a
man you must love him a little and understand him a lot. To be
happy with a woman you have to love her a lot and understand her a
little. Mutual trust and confidence is the other touchstone of
marital harmony, as every husband expects himself to be his wife's
first love while every wife hopes herself to be her husband's last
romance.
In the ultimate analysis, however, marriage turns out to be an
American cafeteria: you choose what you like and pay for it
later. What you pay and how much you pay depends upon your
luck. For, it takes quite a bit of luck to make a wife out of a
woman. Remember! God created Woman after Man, and ever since then
she has been after man.
