Maybe it’s because of my family’s broken marriage, maybe it’s because I live a fulfilling and happy life. I have always liked fairy tales, and I have never imagined my future wedding, let alone my life after marriage.
Destiny may have favored me emotionally, and it allowed me to meet the soul mate of my dreams when I was young. Because of the extremely similar values, the process of getting to know him, getting to know each other, and falling in love with him was unimaginably smooth. It was not until we moved in together that the trivialities of life leaked out little by little.
Love is pure and enthusiastic, and marriage often requires both husband and wife to calm down and fill in more patience and tolerance for love. No matter what happens, the eyes of two people looking at each other and the ring on their ring finger should remember the promise they gave for a lifetime. Just like John and Jenny in the movie "Marley and Me", a brief quarrel can be allowed, but after that, you have to be patient and negotiate a plan to deal with it, and work together to resolve the conflict.
In the modern society where companies and individuals are eager for success, love and marriage have become more and more fast-food, and more and more couples are flashing marriages and divorces. With so many ways to meet new people, some people are becoming less willing to spend more time trying to maintain and mend a fractured marriage. If there was the most intense quarrel between John and Jenny in this film, how many people in reality would choose to reflect and reconcile with each other as in the film.
It's amazing that, although people's patience is getting worse, many people have a deep longing for a stable life when cars, horses, letters and love were slow. In fact, as long as they are more tolerant of the other half and more determined to the temptation of the outside world, it is not as difficult as imagined to have a long-lasting relationship like the one back then. A happy marriage is not a pie that suddenly falls from the sky. It is like work and needs to be taken care of.
No matter how many years have passed and how difficult things have been, I think I will remember when he came home from a business trip, hugging me who was lying down but not yet asleep, and murmured, "I still have you and our little baby. I feel safe at home. If I proposed to you, would you accept it?" I didn't respond, but I thought to myself, "Maybe marriage is not as scary as I thought, because I met you."
*This "Marley and Me" is very similar to "The Romance of My Mom and Dad". The proportion of the dog Marley and Mom in the whole work is not as big as imagined, but I don't know why after reading it. I don't think they are too much off topic. It's a wonderful feeling.
**I thought it was a comedy when I saw the trailer, but Marley left in the end. I didn't intend to cry when I was struck by unexpected sadness, and I almost couldn't hold back the tears. I like the two actors Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston very much, they are both seductive and natural acting. I like the Labrador in the movie very much, and I hope that in a few years, I can also have the courage to adopt a puppy.
