Love and marriage sounds like something right out of a fairy tale. Visions of happy endings and total bliss fill the head when one hears these two words used together. Unless you are married!
In a fairy tales, the hero always goes through some great quest that is full of danger and adventure so he can win the fair maiden in the end. Then they get married and we are led to believe that they live happily ever after. It seems funny to me how all of these stories always end at the wedding.
The Rest Of The Fairy Tale That Is Never Told
What would the story look like after the marriage takes place? Does it end with the couple living happily ever after? It is probably not a good idea to make a cartoon for our children to watch about this part of the story.
Love and Marriage With The Handsome Prince
After the marriage the handsome prince soon turns back into a frog. The Princess soon realizes that this dashing hero snores, leaves the toothpaste cap off, is a slob, has gas and makes a lot of nasty sounds. He will not listen to her and is always running off with the Knights of his Round Table to the local Pub.
He has put away his shining armor and now he runs around the castle in his underwear and flip flops. The Princess knows that the Prince has become worse than a frog. He has become a man.
Love and Marriage With The Beautiful Princess
Soon after the wedding the Princess begins her transformation as well. The Prince sees that his once beautiful and charming young flower whom he pledged his eternal love and life to has become bloated and intolerable. She is illogical, nags at him night and day, is totally unreasonable and has become a complete mystery to him.
Then she gets pregnant and the real fun begins. Now she has become bi-polar too. After the pregnancy her emotions are completely baffling to the young and bewildered Prince. She is mad, then sad, then happy, then sad again and never wants to be intimate with him. She has become a complete mystery. He begins to think he might have a better chance fighting Dragons and Demons.
The Next Chapter - Another Fairy Tale?
This is the real story behind those love and marriage fairy tales. Is this the reason behind the high divorce rate in our society? The magic and excitement of love and new romance wears off and there is left two people. Two individuals with their own thoughts and wills. Two people who find that with all of the things they may have in common they have many differences.
The real adventure for the Prince and the Princess begins after the fairy tale of love and marriage. The new adventure is getting to know the other person for who they really are and not our fairy tale vision of them. They need to learn the differences between men and women and their specific needs. They need to learn how to unconditionally love the other person as they are and with all of their flaws. When the two understand and unconditionally love each other then the next chapter has a better chance of becoming a new fairy tale with a real happy ending.
