     This is a story I wrote about dreams ;while taking a class in Life and Letters


                         MARRIAGE  VS  SINGLE


We all must make choices in life. This is a choice many people have problems with. It is a big step and whichever we  choose will change our life. Both have good things and bad things but it is the way you see it that matters. There is a brightt side and a dark side ;in either case it is best to always to look on the bright side. Be positive in what you want to do.


I had a dream about married love. I would say first comes the engagement ring, then comes the wedding ring then comes suffering.


In the dream a young lady had traveled to Greece, met a
a young man, a Greek god, fell in love and married him.
He was really a hansome dude. I had a clear image of what he looked like; tall with a round face, fairly dark complection and greying black hair and with dancing eyes that would set you on fire.


In returning to America, making breakfast, they began their life together. She looked at his plate, noticed he was day dreaming and said, "You should start eating your pancakes are getting cold."  His response was, "aren't we going to have champange?" No she said, "that was when we were on our honeymoon,  now we must get on with the business of living"
"We cannot stay on the mountain, there are valleys too, you know."


He said"Oh, I see, it is not like that at home." Disappointment showed on his face. He had not yet realized the responsibilites of life.


She set out to tell him it could not always be good times and
to introduce him to her real self. She had her up and down days and it goes along with marriage. Not what the song says 'Marriage is a horse and carriage' More like two mules pulling a waggon loaded with foul smelling stuff.


And so it goes in marriage. We take the bad with the good.
Joy and suffering is what it is about. A learning experience  certainly. It is not for the faint-hearted.

The thought you make is true but it is also incomplete. There will be mountains and there will be valleys. If you have eyes I pray you will see there is beauty to found in both. I get the feeling you had a bad experience with marriage. I could dredge up some sad and sorrowful memories, also but I can also bath in the joys that came with my 36 years of marriage to the same woman. God gave us a life to live. He didn't promise a long honeymoon but he promised that what we look for, we will certainly find. Look in the right direction. Believe me, this is a much more constructive view of life to take.
God Bless,
Lew

A good man is hard to find in all this land.

Interesting but don't approach things with a negative attitude. If a person knows you, he already knows you!

I have had both myself. I like the independence of single life.
