Of course, you're absolutely right that you have every right to
express your view. But I'd like to bring you back to the thread's
title. It says "To love". I do agree that this thread has it's fair
share of out of topic responses, but i can't tell if yours was
trying to be on, or off topic. if on, we're talking about love
here.
No, i won't embrace or agree with your socialogical perspectives.
of course, wat you have described could well be happening in the
better parts of marriages in most singaporeans, but to me that's
wrong. maybe it's the way u put it. it's all too "structured". have
we degraded to an extent where to run a family we have to think in
terms of running a company? of course, activities between running a
household and a company may be similar, like budgeting,
forecasting, planning, but to run it AS IF it were a company
(partnership) is abhorable in my opinion. like i said, maybe it's
the way your phrased it. just didn't rub me the right way at
all.
and i'd be even sadder if someone (perhaps yourself) subscribes to
and advocates this.
your last statement refers. ur view above of running, or being, in
a marriage is free from romantic notions of love. i ask you, why? i
mean for argument's sake of course you could take that stand, but
why would we ever want to talk about marriage free from the emotion
of love? it doesn't make sense to me.
i guess to some, marriage may not be about love. something that
also saddens me. especially coming from a female, who's the more
emotional of the sexes.
