I may be in a minority here, but I really love being married 😆
Well, it’s not the tag of “marriage” per se, but the person I have married. My husband and I are best friends, who share the same place, but still give each other that comfortable space to chill by ourselves.
We got together when we were in our early twenties. Skipped a lot of the skittish dating routine, and told each other from the get go that we very much want to be in each other’s lives.
Over the years, we grew up sharing and building our dreams, making mistakes and learning how to fix them. We played no games (except the really fun ones 🤭) and maintained a kind of sacred space in our relationship, where we would be honest with the other about our desires and feelings. We laughed, we cried and we held each other through all the ups and downs of life.
The reason we got married was practical and funny - we didn’t want to pay the whole rent for two places in Mumbai, had experienced toxic flatmates and were tired of being looked at suspiciously by landlords.
Our wedding day, on the other hand, was full of love, bursting with beautiful emotions, and the certainty of finding family and everlasting friendship in each other ❤️
Years later, we both quit our corporate jobs, started our own ventures and moved to Goa. Our relationship is the wind beneath our wings. It gives us strength to choose our own path, when the world keeps urging us to take the well beaten one. It makes us unafraid to explore ourselves as individuals, because we have each other.
Why should you get married? I would say don’t get married at all…till you find a love so pure and free that it makes you grow into your best and most fearless self.
