as i sat at the pew of the church witnessing the marriage vow being exchanged by the couple, many thoughts flowed through my mind. it was like a sudden epiphany that struck me that how long can the vow last? in the recent statistics, it seemed that the divorce rate in singapore has heightened to 28.3%. simplistically, 1 divorce occurs from 4 marriages. this seems to be a global trend. why are people abandoning their vows and commitments? what used to be a cute trait is now so unbearable to you. married couples tend to be very comfortable with each other, too comfortable. that's where the true colours start to surface and it might not be what you're able to accept. despite all that, couples are so comfortable that they start to take each other for granted. married couples don't put in as much effort in impressing or to show affection to their partners just like how they did during their courting stage. they have forgotten that their meeting was not by concidence but by fate. i know this sounds really cliche and i'm not really the type who believes in fate and destiny crap but really think about it. this world is huge, and yes even though singapore is a puny island but being able to meet someone you like who might be living in the other side on the island takes a lot of erm... idk what term i should be using to describe this. but yeah you get the point. so people, don't take your loved ones.
