In a college English class, the teacher asked: "What is your fear?".
Sister Guang thought for a moment and shouted "Get Married" , and the whole class burst into laughter.
Our beautiful and lovely Pro Daphane asked with a smile, "Why?"
"Look at the whole class laughing, isn't that the best answer. We often say that marriage is the tomb of love, you can see that it's all tombs, What a scary thing it is to be destined to see your own urn. And whether it is my family of origin or the families around me, they argue, complain, and consume their emotions every day, regardless of whether there are outsiders in the family. The bad habit of yelling cannot be changed. Even for the elderly, everyone insists on their own opinions and does their own thing when they arrive at home. There is no care, no greetings, and even basic courtesy is lost, and then there are all kinds of complaints. Every day is a useless waste of time, and I am afraid of entering such a marriage. "This is my view on marriage when I was in college. In fact, there are not many new ideas that have poured into my mind to make me change my thoughts and ideas.
But in the book "Dear Jonah", I seem to find a kind of power, a kind of love power to believe in marriage. This story has two lines. One tells the story of Marilyn and David falling in love and getting married and facing the trivial matters of life. The other tells the story of Marilyn and David’s four cheating daughters, and ours The protagonist, Jonah, cheated on his grandma. This 600-page story tells the story of seven people. Each person is described in nearly a hundred pages and they are inextricably linked to each other by family ties. There are not many great plots in the book to support it. It relies on daily life. The characters are torn apart in various events and become three-dimensional.
The eldest daughter Wendy is a troubled girl. She is impulsive, strong, and has a chaotic life in adolescence. She finally got married, but her husband is gone, and her life has returned to its original state. The second daughter, Violet, was even more outrageous. She was so cold and indifferent that she accidentally gave birth to a child (I seem to be blaming, I have to calm down), and she gave him away directly. This directly led to the return of Jonah, the one who cheated grandma, to continue her tradition of causing harm. . The third daughter, Lisa, had a successful career and was most like Marilyn, but ended up falling into an unspeakable love affair. She was an unlucky child. The youngest daughter, Grace, was otherwise fine and respected her parents to live a normal life, but she just couldn't bear to tell her parents about her failure in life, which resulted in a lot of new troubles.
Talk about how uncomfortable this novel is to read with so many children on the stall. No wonder some people call it Claire Lombardo’s epic masterpiece, which is not good. People have encountered all the misfortunes you can think of in marriage. There are countless troubles waiting for you every day, and there are countless reasons for divorce and abandoning your family every day. This is not like in "Parents' Love" where you can live in a high position and argue all day long. It is not something that can be solved by changing your lifestyle. This is something that you have to live like a mom and a dad every day, step by step. I once heard a saying that a person who has not tasted all the wines does not quite understand the taste of water. But Marilyn and David have experienced thousands of ways to get divorced. What is the taste of marriage? At the end of the sentence, came out, "emmmm, it turns out it's me, Marilyn, and you, David, lying together."
He finally understood the true meaning of marriage. Sometimes, the marriage is the intense loneliness they endured for many months, and the marriage lasts for a whole year - no matter how unbearable it is at first, it gradually becomes a habit. of alienation. However, more often than not, marriage is Marilyn's hand that I hold in his hand. In fact, after that lengthy dilemma is over, everything can return to its original position. It is when she knows that he needs her that she will still cling to him tightly. By his side.
