“Marriage is not a smart idea for the alpha male”

Really interested in what you guys think of this article

You meet and fall in love in your early 20’s, the journey has just begun. You have children in your 30’s, wow what a busy time. You build a nest to protect and nurture your loved ones. No harm should come to them. You watch your children grow and develop into wonderful human beings, what a beautiful time.

And then out of the blue you realize how distant you’ve grown, your goals and visions are not aligned. He/she falls deeply in love and your whole life becomes topsy-turvey.

Are we allowed to embrace this new beautiful love? What sacrifices are needed to follow this journey? Is there such a thing as happily ever after?

Just three words “I love you” softens the pain, but for how long?

Are the above questions futile and we should just let our heart guide us to the right decision?

This article from Jane Green has a passage that made me think. It’s an article where a woman talks very candidly about where and why her marriage went wrong.

a quote from William Wharton. What is love, his daughter had asked on the eve of her wedding. “It is passion, admiration and respect,” he told her. “If you have two, you have enough. If you have three, you don’t have to die to go to heaven.”

WILL DO marriages, do they work?

She eventually found respect, admiration, passion & kindness.

I came across this article on Mothers Day of all days.

A pragmatic approach to marriage. Marriage isn’t a passion fest?
