A Bachelor's View on Marriage


This guy from way back sent this letter (adapted from an unknown author) to all the people he knew about a bachelor's view on marriage. I just want to share this to everybody.

So read on . . . .






To whom it may concern:

Getting married is the greatest mistake anyone can
ever make. Being wed
is the height of insanity, the most ludicrous
commitment, the totally
illogical decision any human being can fall into.
Tell me. Why will I
commit myself to be with one woman for the rest of
my life and thereby
reject 3.2 billion other females in the world?

Along the way, I'll meet a girl who'll be more
beautiful, or more
intelligent, or more charming, or sexier, or
holier !

So, why nail myself down to one choice permanently
and suffer the agony
of watching beauties pass by me ?

And in western countries, one out of two marriages
end up in divorce.
That blows my mind. That's a pathetic 50%
failure rate !

I won't buy a car, a stereo, a shaver, or even a
nail clipper if
there's a 50% chance that it'll conk out on me. I
simply won't ! And why
stay with one person "in sickness or in health,
in riches or in poverty, till
death do us part "?

Is my mind fried? If my shirt shrinks on me
because I eat too many Big
Macs, don't I just throw it away and buy an XL?
And if I outgrow my
ancient 386 computer, don't I just look for a 1
Gg PENTIUM IV PC?

And then there's the catastrophe some call kids. I
mean, do I really
want to wake up in the middle of the night to
entertain a self-centered,
bald, toothless tyrant in diapers ? Do I really
want little rampaging
monsters to break the most expensive furniture
in my house ? Do I really
want juvenile creatures to stay on the phone for
six hours straight, listen to
noise they call music that you believe came
directly from hell, and mope
around
uncommunicative, catatonic, and depressed because
another demented
juvenile creature (called boyfriend) hasn't called
for the past thirty
minutes ? Why should I go through the torture?


Marriage is insanity.


On the 11th of this december 2003, I celebrate my 31st
birthday. And on that
same day, I commit myself to insane living.
Sheila Mari is her lovely
name, the one person I choose out of 3.2 billion
females. Yes, we will
have tiny
tyrants that will wake us up at night, little
monsters that will
destroy
our house during playtime, and creatures from
outer space called
teenagers.


Why?


Because of three reasons.


FAITH. We believe that God calls us into marriage.
And if he calls us
there,that means He'll be there to meet us. We
will suffer all things,
just
let us be with our God.


HOPE. We confidently expect the best blessings
immeasurably much more
than
all the hardship. God will bless us beyond our
wildest dreams.


LOVE. Oh yes, there will be other females who'll
be more beautiful, or
more
intelligent, or more and more that. But they'll
only be just that:
females


* like flowers in the field of a million hectares
of flower fields.


But not this woman-My Sheila, the one beautiful
flower I have
personally chosen, personally picked from her
roots, personally planted in
my own clay pot, personally watered every day, and
personally loved every
day.


Because of my love for her, there will be no one
like her. In my
heart, she will eternally be the most beautiful
flower of them all.

Because in the end, there will only be faith,
hope, and love. And the
greatest of these is LOVE ...

* End of letter *





He eventually did propose to that lady inside Aresi Restaurant at the back of ABS-CBN (not sure if its still open). . .


While having dinner the staff played a song by Desiree - Kissing you (http://youtu.be/J4LQiisihqo), . . . . . . and slowly coming from all directions the waiters walked towards the lady and one by one gave the this lady a white rose. The guy was already on his knees and pulled out the last stem of rose from under the table and pulled-out a ring from his pocket and said

"Marry me and make me the happiest man on the face of the planet".

The End.
