Meaning Of Marriage Mga Nobela at Kwento

MARRIAGE was supposed to be the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners. It was when two people wanted to tie the knot and settled- but not for me. I don't do marriage, especially with someone whom I've never met and loved. Kahit na nga ba marami na akong napaluhang babae at nasaktan, naniniwala pa rin ako na love still exists. Na dapat pakasalan mo ang taong mahal mo at handa kang makasama siya sa hirap man o ginhawa. Most of all, I wanted to marry a woman whom I chose to love and hold, not a woman chosen by my family for me for the sake of fucking business.

Kasi nandito na ako. Kasama nila. I used to think marriage was about alignment. Two people, perfectly matched—like equations that balance, like systems that don't break, like a plan that survives contact with reality. I was wrong. Marriage isn't alignment. It's gravity. Something you don't always see, but you feel in everything you do. Something that doesn't ask if you're ready—it just pulls you in, and suddenly your life is no longer centered around yourself. It's centered around us.

We want them to feel our love for each other. “We are here today, to witness the marriage of Mr. Thiago Profaci and Ms. Keyla Mendoza. Marriage is not important only for two people who are deeply in love with each other. Marriage with God’s blessing is much more important because you wanted him to become a part of your life and the center of your relationship. Marriage is sacred to those who believe in him that’s why no man can separate the marriage of the two people.” Wika ng pari sa amin. “Did you hear that?” Nakangiting tanong ko kay Keyla.

Guni-guni ko lang 'yun. Saktong huminto ang kanta nang makatungtong na kami sa tungtungan namin sa altar. "Dear families, relatives, and friends, we all gathered here to witness one of our life's greatest moment, and to hear the words that will unite the hearts of this two people in marriage." Panimula ng Pari. I took a glance on Lauren, who's going to be my wife, any minute now. "Marriage is a sacred covenant between two hearts who promise to love each other in the eyes of our Father. These two hearts are here to seal their promises, promises to trust and honor each other as their partner for the rest of their life."

ANG KASAL ay isang sagradong selebrasyon upang mabigyang basbas ang pagsasama ng dalawang taong nagmamahalan sa kabila ng mga pagsubok na dinanas sa buhay. A fantabulous marriage doesn't happen between perfect couple to corporate. It happens between imperfect couple that has willingness to accept the imperfections and understand the shortages of each party.

irap kong sabi imbes na sagutin ang tanong niya. "Matatapos 'din ito," mahinang sagot niya. Saglit ko lang siyang nilingon at mayamaya'y nagsimula na nga itong pari na mukhang may ka-chat pa at ang saya-saya nang mukha niya. Sinimulan na ang seremonyas at ginawa namin ang ginagawa ng mga kinakasal tulad sa mga napapanood ko. "You may now kiss your bride," nakangiting sabi nitong pari na mukhang kilig na kilig pa.

I suddenly have this realization: Couples look happier when they truly love each other. In business industry, pragmatic marriage is very common. People are bound to marry, not because of love, but because of money and the benefit they will get once they get married. Couple is not the right term to address those people who engaged in arrange marriage, rather, two individuals bound to marry each other for business and personal gain. Count my parents in!

Habang nagpapatuloy ang sermon ng pari tungkol sa kahalagahan ng marriage, commitment, at companionship, tahimik lang kaming nakatayo ngunit ang mga daliri ni Alexander ay dahan-dahang gumagalaw sa likod ng kamay ko na parang pinapakalma ang kaba ko na pilit kong tinatago sa ilalim ng bridal smile ko, dahil sa totoo lang ay halo-halo ang emosyon ko—utang na loob, pagmamahal, takot, at kakaibang seguridad na sa kanya ko lang nararamdaman. “Marriage,” dagdag ng pari sa mahaba at makabuluhang boses, “is not merely a union of convenience, but a promise to stand beside each other in moments of weakness, uncertainty, and trials.” Parang direktang tumama ang mga salitang iyon sa dibdib ko.

Pero kung ganito lang, na gusto niyang gawin namin ‘yon nang walang nali-link sa aming dalawa, parang ang babaw. Marriage is about love. Hindi ka naman basta-basta magpapakasal na parang naglalaro, eh. Nandoon ang commitment. Na kahit anong mangyari, kailangan ay nasa tabi niyo ang isa’t isa. Pero paano ‘tong nangyayari sa amin? It was just all about lust.

Ilang sandali lang ay bumagsak na ang mga luha nito. “You know what I mean. Matalino kang tao, Bernadeth.” “You shut up, Andres. Wala akong pakialam sa kung anuman ang iniisip mo sa ‘kin. Matutuloy ang kasal sa ayaw at sa gusto mo.” Bernadeth is glaring at him. “You know what marriage is, Bernadeth? Marriage is a union of two people who are madly in love with each other.
