Why Marrying and Divorcing

Why marrying today 
And divorcing tomorrow? 
Marriage is not  dry run
                        or dummy run
Marriage is not hubbub
                       or rehab
Marriage is not hotchpotch
                       or hodgepodge
Marriage is not  playing ground 
                        or top - security prison
Marriage is not horror drama 
                        or terror contest
Marriage is not pushing button 
                        or punishing arena. 

Why marrying today  
And divorcing tomorrow?
From the street to become 
                               a wife of someone
From being a wife to become 
                                   a street woman player

Why marrying today 
And divorcing tomorrow?
From your parental house 
                                   to your husband 's house
Living like in paradise garden
                                   or hell lake fire, 
No blame to your parents, 
                     As your heart burnt by strong love, 
You decided to live togather till to death. 

            Marriage is not something
                                                    to play with,  
            Marriage is a strong union 
                                    of a man and woman
                                     who decided to live     
                                     togather till to death.

--or at least marriage sure should be -- until death do the couple part...
Correct... Some people enter marriage without preparing it well. Others think that it is funny... ...so on. I like your raising point. You are welcome dear.

Marriage is a life long bond and not a silly game. Those who are willing to make adjustments alone can have a lasting relationship. Well said dear friend.
