Why do people want to be united in the Holy Matrimony? Sure, they want to have their love of a lifetime for keeps, anyone can understand that. It sure feels nice to have someone to care and love you and someone who would really like to grow old with you. After tying the knot, it's always Valentines Day at the newlyweds' abode. It seems love is in the air so much that they could always hang one of those St. Valentines Day flags on their walls or windows.

If one can notice during the first six months or the first year of marriage, a couple is usually so sweet. They are fond of always hugging and kissing each other whenever they had the chance. It's as if they can't get enough of one another, much less of themselves. Usually, the only time one can see couples being 'unsweet' is when they are not together which only happens for a limited time.

Yes, we all are suckers for romance and happy endings but seeing the same routine really sucks and for other people, sadly, it can be a source of envy. This holds true for old people who lost the flame of love and only stick with friendships and pension plans. Sure, all the cheesy stuff happen on the first year and keep it going for a couple more years but after all the brownies and chocolates, there comes the challenge. When couples quarrel for the first time, it is always like the fourth of July. Funny, but some neighbors would hang Fourth of July flags on their windows while routing for the husband or wife. Good things just don't last very long. They do come back only in different packages. The sweetness can be revived by having a new baby at home but conflicts can do return and before you know it, it's the end of a what seemed to be a blissful marriage. People can sometimes rush things and that's one of the not-so good characteristics of humanity.
