Thought of the Week-----------> The View

It is an age old conversation that will have no victor. No it is not politics nor religion… It is a wife becoming the interminable confidant, the easer of the mind… the best friend.  Some feel it would ludicrous for a wife, someone that the man has barely known for a fraction of his life; to instantly become his best friend just because of an age old institution called marriage… how absurd right? Or is it? How can one have the sheer audacity to come between a relationship that is sacred and has stood the test of time and with had trials that have strengthened its foundation? How can she expect the dimension of THAT relationship to change thus causing it to be obsolete? Are you really suppose to share your must trusted secrets and darkest deeds and your innermost’s with some woman you just happened to marry? Is she suppose to know you better even than the Almighty himself on judgment day? Here is a thought or maybe an answer…  The mere fact that a man would not even consider or be open to the idea of his wife becoming his best friend over time is absolutely terrifying to women deep down inside. (Also if the woman you about to marry can BE put in the category of some woman, then reconsideration of the step one is about to make may be needed) Is it because of these thoughts that marriages don’t have the same meaning that they use to or carry the same significance like in days past and unfortunately fail? It would be unwise to think that just because man and woman are ONLY joined in holy matrimony and not friendship is the SOLE reason why marriages obliterate…but subconsciously may it? Instead of having a marriage of four (wife-best friend, husband-best friend) why not just the two that professed there undying love for each other on that altar that FAITH-FUL day. The idea may sound simple but with most convoluted thoughts it is anything but.  Some soul searching needs to be done…not because the “idea” is preposterous or illogical; the soul needs to be searched so the soul can command the mind to let… “thinking make it so”
