Marriage is like Slurpee

Slurpee is quite addictive yet it’s not the secret recipe for a successful marriage. ^^ However, to understand marriage better, we need Slurpee. I would not tell you to buy one, I just need you to use your wild imagination of Slurpee. But if you have it with you right now, it’s better!

 

Why is marriage comparable to Slurpee?

 

First, let me ask you, have you tried to drink/eat Slurpee (Who hasn’t?)? Have you tried various flavors of it? How does it taste?

 

Oh my… tastes great!

 

That’s exactly how it feels when you just got married. It feels great. It feels like heaven, right? It’s a brand new world and you feel excited about it.

 

Okay, before you start your crazy imaginations, we’ll take you back to… Slurpee!

 

Alright, so you really liked Slurpee, you wanted to have it every single day, it makes your day and it refreshes your body. However, have you noticed anything? How does it feel when you’ve already consumed more than half of it or more than three quarters of it?

 

Come on… use your imagination.

 

BRAIN FREEZE!

 

Yeah that’s right. You feel that don’t you?

 

And when you do, you would start to dislike Slurpee. You may not even finish drinking/eating it, because it feels like you’re head is freezing and it’s not fun anymore.

 

But tell me, will you ever drink/eat Slurpee again?

 

No doubt, your answer would be… YES!

 

Why is that so? Because you know it’s yummy and it had been so ever since. ^^

 

See? You might hate it for a moment. You might get used to it for awhile. You might not drink/eat one for the meantime, but one thing’s for sure… You will never forget how it tastes like. Certainly, you will miss it.

 

Just like marriage, it would feel great for the first few months or years, but there will come a time when you’d feel used to it and it’s not fun anymore. It’s just normal. As a matter of fact, it’s just like drinking/eating Slurpee, right? Just think that it’s just some kind of BRAINFREEZE.

 

Let it pass.

Let it go.

 

In time, everything will be back to normal. The great feeling would surely return…

 

…just like Slurpee. ^^

Cheers!
