Our modern day love drives us into marriages built on wrong and weak premise – we’re selfishly getting rather than seeking to give (what people can do for us and what we can get from them), constantly commanding and demanding without being considerate, very intolerant and manipulating to get what we want from our spouse.
We’re chasing the cash and the material, our love flourishes because of benefits we get from relationships (and ends when the benefit ends). In short, things have gone haywire in our generation!
Years ago – when marriage had a reasonable meaning and enticing to go into, people didn’t need to profess love to one another with their mouth (at every opportunity and every second) to know they are loved – their persistence, support, respect they had for each other and working hard to make the marriage blissful (with all its challenges) was more than ‘unsaid I love you’. The modern marriage is built on dreams and expectations of the good life (not worked for) and enjoying the benefits. If their dreams don’t come into reality – they cry foul forgetting they need to work before they enjoy.
Now, marriage is more of a contract than a covenant. The modern day love is all hinged on convenience. We create our own heartbreaks through enormous expectations!
