In one of our everyday conversations, my fiancee was narrating to me that how one of her professors came up to her that day and asked her reason for getting married. An obvious reaction would be of bewilderment which she demonstrated well. She gathered words to describe me but it was cut short by the professor. The professor took her back to the question saying "I asked you why are you getting married and not why are you getting married to him". There followed another bout of bewilderment. The professor left her to ponder over the reasons also stating that he would come back later for the response.
The same question was, hence, thrown at me.
- "Do you know why are you getting married?"
- "Well.. yes.. obviously.. (damn the professor!).. .. because .."
- "If you know it then you should not take time. The professor also said that if its not top of the mind, then you are making it up." (It's a marketing professor for sure and damn him again)
- "You see, I have the reasons with me but the thoughts need to be assimilated and presented together"
I was honest when I said that. I knew my reason. For me, there has only been one reason for marriage: Companionship.
The reason was there but it needed explanation since Companionship can be defined as the state of being with someone.
When I say Companionship, it cannot be connoted to be that what we share we family and friends.
It is the need to have
-> someone, who means much more than family and friends, though she is family and she is a friend too-> someone, who unites with you in all your endeavours
-> someone, who you trust to be with you, forever and for always
-> someone, who you speak to about anything under the sun
-> someone, whom you shower love on, in all of its forms
In summary, it can be stated as
'an exceptional partnership for life, agreeing to exchange any information and all the love'
The reason went down well with her but I still damn the professor. I am dreading the next question from the professor. Is it going to be 'Why kids?!?'..

my reason for marraige is to share in entirety, all five levels of existence physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually and if all these are attuned and attained then even spiritually. To live a holistic life in unison.
Thank you for the citation..
Liking you!
Sometimes the best answer to a 'Why' questions is ' Why not?'
