Love is not the key behind happy marriages!
Respect, Companionship, Friendship, Shared Goals and Dreams... these are better foundations of long and happy marriages.
And since I have none of these, even though my heart is breaking, I am giving myself until January 1 to see what happens if I flood this marriage with love, dances, whispered secrets... will it come back to with love, or bounce away from me...
So, dear friends and bloggers, what do you think? Should a woman stay in a marriage where respect is gone... where she is taken for granted as the provider of cuddles, warm meals, clean rooms, laundry and sex? I'd love your opinion...
Love,
Jhilmil
Kahlil Gibran on Marriage:
"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. "
