Well, I came across another riveting read from the same author whose profile I shared in my previous Blog.

In this article, she enumerates the 5 Hard Truths About Being In A Traditional Marriage.

These are

1. Marriage is a Contract

2. Marriage has a Dark History

3. You need a lot more than Love to make a Marriage work

4. There isn't any 50/50 in Marriage or Love

5. Commitment is stronger and more important than Marriage

She informs us that

Divorce takes at least 3 to 10 times more time and money than the wedding. When women get divorced, they are knocked back professionally and financially for at least 4-6 years (whereas there is no long-term financial impact on men) and women carry the stigma of divorce both socially and professionally far more than men.

She also mentions a superb quote "We all eat lies when our hearts are hungry” and says that our society is determined to make sure that women are hungry — for love, acceptance, validation and security.
