marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Tangled love Pt 1.
As I sat and listened to the pastor preach the word for this sunday, my mind was full with so many thoughts. It was Valentine’s day weekend and of course he was preaching about being good to your spouse. My husband Dewayne sitting next to me holding me tighter than ever. Everytime he said turn to your spouse and tell them you love them. Dewayne would tell me that he loves me while I just rolled my eyes at him. My marriage has fallen apart but yet here we are in church like we’re still happy. When Pastor Leon dismissed the church I hurried to the bathroom. I was sick to my stomach and threw up everywhere. Deaconess asked me if I was alright and did I need any help. I turned down her offer and told her that I’m alright. As I walked out the bathroom I bumped into Pastor Leon. “Sister Ebony, it’s good to see you, he said. “Can I talk to you in my study if you don’t mind?'' he asked me. I looked around to see if anyone had spotted me and him alone together, especially my husband. “You have five more minutes to talk than I have to leave” I told him. We made it to his study; soon as the door closed he started kissing and touching on me. I pushed him off and told him that we couldn’t do this in the church. “How about I call you later tonight so we can meet up?” I declined his offer and told him I had plans with Dewayne. I left his study to go find my husband. What is a woman supposed to do when she is in love with another man and a Pastor at that.

I Don’t — Why I Never Got Married
When I was twenty-five years old, I was explaining to my cousin Wendy, a newlywed, my confusion about several career paths that I wanted to pursue. We were at Thanksgiving dinner and she said in front of my entire family, “Why don’t you just get married and have kids?” She suggested marriage and kids as if this could happen overnight, like ordering a water filter from Amazon. I wasn’t even dating anyone. My cousin’s “solution” insulted me. I knew what she meant was Why don’t you just do what everyone else does and then all your problems will be solved? But I’ve never done what everyone else just does, and I knew that merely being someone’s wife wouldn’t satisfy me. And besides, I didn’t want kids, which made marriage seem even more pointless.

This is Us
I made my way down the aisle to a man I did not love, that I probably never would love and thought back over the past six months. This arrangement had been made to help my father further his business contacts. While it was my good fortune that the man, I was marrying was good-looking, we really did not know each other. His smile was friendly as I approached, surrounded by friends, family, and the media. Since both of us were busy with our own things, we had barely talked, much less spent anytime together to prepare for our wedding.

I'm Stuck
A few years into my first marriage, I realized the gravity of the mistake I made. I do not recommend marrying anyone that you do not have chemistry with or love. Duh. It is a terrible, gut-wrenching existence. I tried over and over to make it work. Everything looked pretty good on paper, but I had an empty sick feeling in my stomach all the time. I kept asking myself, is this the way you will spend the rest of your life? It’s one thing to accommodate, make sacrifices for, listen to, and change yourself for someone you love but it’s completely different when it’s for someone you don’t love.

I Never Loved Him
When I met my first husband, I was in a very vulnerable position. Most of my family had ostracized me for reasons I have mentioned in my previous post. I had no friends and no family support. I was renting a small room, with the only money coming in, from working for my dad helping him do handyman stuff. I had no concept of taking care of myself. I didn’t know what that was or what it meant. It was like being dropped off on an island where I didn’t speak the language and wasn’t given any tools to survive.

Vegas Wedding
I’ve been here before, except this time I was actually in love. Getting married again filled me with so much anxiety and for good reason. Hopefully with age and a very, very bad go with the first one, I might have just what it takes to have a wonderful lasting marriage.

Love, great, good, and painful.
My love story began on a carnival midway. We both worked on a travelling carnival when we met. I am James Sims and I met my future on that carnival. Ruby Breummer was her name and I was madly in love. She didn't quite see things as I did at first. In fact, she was just using me to get away from another guy she didn't want to be with anymore. I was getting laid now so I really wasn't caring about much else at the time. Ruby was looking for a way back to Seattle and thought she was going to use me to get her there. What she didn't count on was falling in love with me. I asked her once when she knew she was in love with me? She told exactly the moment she fell for me. We were working a parking lot on Highway 6 just south of Houston, Texas. It was a really nice night, not real busy so I went and got Ruby from a ticket booth and was walking the midway when we were walking by the Kamikaze a really good song started on their stereo and I just grabbed up Ruby and started dancing in front of the whole world sang to her and made her laugh and forget what she had not been able to if for only a minute. That is when she said it hit her like a ton of bricks. That was in November of 2003. We married at my mom's house on January 10, 2oo4.

Is it worth your life?
Before I start my story, let me give you my introduction. I am Disha, currently studying BA in English (1st year). I was always skeptical about a few rituals or beliefs that our society tends to hold, or many people captivated themselves around this phrase. MARRIAGE. What do we actually get from this term? An eternal love story or a permanent torment stamp on our fate? I will try to cover up all the points of view I have regarding this phrase.

Marriage
Marriage is hard work. Please don’t be fool at the illusion Hollywood portrays about this picture perfect life. You know the one; Prince Charming for a husband, the perfect housewife for a wife and the most respectful kids and The nice little dog that seems to just be a friendly people person. Oh and let’s not forget the the husband and wife seem to never argue and they seem to always have it all together? Oh is that the dream you were looking for when you got married? Well wipe that dream out of your head. In fact forget it ever existed. Because in reality a true real life marriage consist of two people who are more than likely difficult to deal with to each other and the more than likely are flawed to know end but for some reason these two people just can’t leave each other and they genuinely love each other so they marry each other and find out shortly after getting married that those problems that used to be small problems all of a sudden become huge problems. Now you find yourself agitated and hating your wife or your husband’s guts because everything they do seem to be so magnified. If you are like me you wondered over and over again did you make the right decision? Well yes you made the right decision. You made the decision to make a commitment to the one person in the world who was willing to make a commitment to you. Now the both of y’all are finding each other’s flaws and you are focusing on the wrong the other person has done or the hurt they have caused you and you are overlooking to what extent have you done wrong and to what extent have you caused hurt to the other person. You know how you may sit and cry to yourself but do you stop and think how something you said or did may have caused your wife or your husband to cry or feel hurt? I bet you thinking the same thing I was thinking, what could I possibly be doing to hurt this man or this woman’s feelings right? Well believe it or not you may be doing things that would otherwise be no biggie to you but to your husband or wife it is detrimental. I know this because my husband has told me I say and do things to him that I find to be not that big of a deal and he swears I hurt his Feelings but then he will turn around and say some of the most nastiest things to Me and then think everything is cool. So in that sense I feel like we could learn to be more sensitive to the other person’s needs and feelings. My husband will say I hurt his feelings when I tell him to not touch me (especially if I’m sleeping and he sticking his finger in my ear, that annoys me to no end). For some reason that hurts his feelings. Although it’s no biggie to me, it may truly hurt him just like when he talk about how I eat or anything concerning my weight that really hurts me to the core because I am trying to work on breaking my habit of over eating. It’s really a struggle for me and I want to lose the weight and stop overeating. Moral of the story try to be careful of the things you say and do to your husband or wife because you never know how it may make them feel. Also don’t judge them for whatever they are doing especially if you know you have something that you do that is not right, and I will leave it at that.
