Marriage is getting irrelevant

Throw back, tu lao in Hanoi Mia coffee

Today went down to visit aunty at Chinatown. I think it has been a year since I last visited her. She looks healthy and stronger after she went exercise. Not like last round she look grumpy and lethargic. Then I overheard my cousin is doing divorce with his wife. (As per my aunty).

I sort of see them optimistically in their marriage with baby and stuff. Furthermore he got into the relationship at a later stage. So I thought being able to uphold and manage the marriage will be easier. As people is more mature and really had taken time to vet thru their spouse. Apparently, many things can spark disagreement in a relationship regardless. 


It only reinforce the ideal of marriage is really outdated. Or should I say this ideology is getting obsolete as society advances. 


Actually do you know that marriage is a form of strategic. It was created during war and to better conserve the wealth for heirloom. Different era actually call from different arrangement of marriage. Like example during era where the king is able to marry many women is due to war, many men were kill in the war and having a men to reproduce with many women will allows more children to be replenished. But as our social currently balanced out population, having polygamy doesn’t make sense anymore.


Nonetheless, every era different things changes and I believe marriage is slowly phrasing out.
