Marriage as the result of...

Marriage as the result of...

Traditionally, we would think that marriage would be the result of true love between two people.

Now, I have a few different takes on the same issue.

Marriage could be the result of

... loving another's money rather than just love. This is very common these days as marrying a cash cow (or bull) makes for good living.

... loving another's body rather than just love. This is not uncommon too as this makes for good nights.

... free transport because the spouse owns a car. Forget it. Taxis are cheaper and you don't have to ingratiate yourself to the driver for a ride.

... loving "it". Please google "*** toys".

... loving the ownership of a HDB flat. This alleviates the problem of homelessness for two people until they are old enough to own their own flats; and possibly make some profits in the process.

... a personal debt repayable through giving of oneself to the other. Don't think that this is so so out-dated and laugh. People have been known to do less than wise things and who knows if this is still happening?

... a one-night-stand gone awry.Wouldn't abortion be easier?

... being accidentally blinded by Cupid, until full eyesight is restored.

... genuinely wanting kids. For god's sake, go adopt as a single parent.

... having a free cow/bull for the nights. Hey, think again!

... getting relatives off your back asking when you are finally getting married. Tsk tsk tsk. There are better ways, for instance, going to Bangkok every time festivities arise.

... having deeply, madly fallen in love. Please check yourself into the nearest mental institution to check degree of madness.

... wanting to experience married life. For god's sake, go to the family courts and listen to the plaintiffs and defendents of divorce cases.

... having fallen in true love. Best wishes and till death do you part. But don't let me see any one of you attempt to prematurely end the other's life!
