One more wicket falls!
No folks..i have still not caught the world cup fever.
We use this phrase when a friend decides to get married.

Check out the definition of marriage..
"The social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc"

Now we all are more than aware that "change" is the only constant thing.
Times change, society evolves, people change.
The change in people is as percieved by others.
In other terms, the person might not change..but his actions in the context of other things makes the observer judge that the person has changed!
The rate of change is one thing that is spiralling upwards..
With the above perspective, does it make sense for an institution to promote life-long commitment?

Die hard romantics will blast this post :)
Look at it practically..your needs at 30 are very different from that at 45.
If the same partner is the best for you most times..super! Lucky you!
With humans becoming impatient and selfish as a race, chances are that this will not happen to most of us :(

True love as they say stands the test of time.
It is almost laughable to see a couple know each other for a few months and project themselves as made for each other (for a lifetime).
Live-in relationships are the key.
They reduce the risk of a bad marriage to a great extent.

Finally..our aim is to make the world a happy place.
Marriage seems to be the major driver for un-happiness..atleast going by the experiences of the married folks..
Some more food for thought in case you want to get married!
