Love and Divorce

Being in love has become the new Kuwaiti haba, just like divorce has been. Everyone seems to be in love. Everybody thinks they're in love. What the lovebirds don’t realize, is that they are in love with the idea of falling in love. The disaster starts within one's self. Two people who are ready to fall in love meet, and start believing love exists. Some might think they really are in love with that person. Their tiny brains fail to inform their hearts that the love between them is not towards each other's personalities or characters but with the idea of shared emotions and feelings.

Lovebirds ignore the possibility of the disappearance of their shared love. Believing their love will last forever, they go make it official by getting married. With time love fades, and the lovebirds think the disappearance of love equals hate, and so, more fighting and arguing begins and they end up with a divorce. Again, their tiny brains failed to inform them that the disappearance of love doesn’t equal hate.

Some people don’t have tiny brains, and they know that the disappearance of love doesn’t mean hate. When their love fades, they start looking at their partner differently. They realize that that person is not the person they thought they were. When love fades, couples see that they hate their partners' personalities, characters, and ideas. Also, that sometimes leads to divorce.

To back up my words, Joseph Collins once said, "the chief reason why marriage is rarely a success is that is it contracted while the partners are insane."

To call your self in love, you have to be in love with your partner's character, personality, you should agree with the way they think and how they think, and what they believe in. That kind of love never fades, because you will always have something to hang on to.

But at the end as George Jessel said, "marriage is a mistake every man should make."
