After seeing the movie ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’ my head was filled with so many emotions and thoughts that it was hard for me to focus at work. So many things that the movie touched base on mirrored so much of my life I couldn’t help but put it all into context. So after gathering up my thoughts and being able put them in a concise effort. And this is what I came up with. The couple that hit home the most for me in my current life seemed to be Terry and Dianne. After years of marriage, Terry found his wife to be unusually happy and well kept. Even her own friends were recognizing her unmistakeable glow; mentioning it numerous times throughout the movie. Towards the end of the film, we find out that the reason behind her mysterious glow is a fellow lawyer who she worked with on a recent case named, Phillip. Because of Phillip, she was made to feel pretty and wanted Again and it helped to build her self esteem. This is a common situation in most long term relationships and marriages. Because you’ve been together for so long and are (for the most part) used to one another the compliments and gestures that were once given when the relationship was fresh start to disappear. And then comes the Phillips. The one who comes into your life showering you with the “you’re beautiful“‘s, the jokes and the attention you haven’t received in such a long. And guess what? It starts to feel great! So what do you do? The human soul needs to feel loved and appreciated. And when we are, we begin to build a connection with that individual. Which is why our love is also transended to animals as well. A creature that can’t speak our language; can’t even hug us and say I love you back. But it’s that something— those things that that animal does that just makes us feel important. So you build a bond with that being/person. That is a problem that surfaced in my previous relationship that lasted a year and a couple of months. There became a time when I didn’t feel attractive and appreciated. And suddenly I ran into my ‘Phillip’ who made me feel all those things my ex made me feel when we first started dating. And it felt great. Yes, it may have gone a little overboard. But adultry was never an option. On my part atleast. So what should you get from this? If nothing else but a good eye rolls and teeth sucking; I hope you get out of it that when you get someone you really care for you must appreciate them. At all times. Make them feel special. Valued. All of those things. Say I love you more. It’s never ok to just assume your partner feels that way. Too often do I hear “No I don’t say it everyday, but they should know I do”. What’s taking one minute to call your lover just to say ‘I love you’? No time at all. Remember…. Life Is Sweet When You Add A Little Splender.
