    Default Till Death Do Us Part


    To those who are married, not married and soon to be married.

    MARRIAGE

    When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her
    hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate
    quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

    Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let
    her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic
    calmly.

    She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me
    softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away
    the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we
    didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find
    out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a
    satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her
    anymore. I just pitied her!

    With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which
    stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my
    company.

    She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who
    had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt
    sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take
    back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly
    in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was
    actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me
    for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

    The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing
    something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep
    and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

    When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just
    did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

    In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't
    want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
    She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal
    a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
    month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
    This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked
    me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

    She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her
    out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was
    going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her
    odd request.

    I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed
    loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she
    has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

    My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce
    intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the
    first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is
    holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From
    the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten
    meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't
    tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put
    her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove
    alone to the office.

    On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned
    on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that
    I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she
    was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair
    was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
    wondered what I had done to her.

    On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of
    intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her
    life to me.

    On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of
    intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became
    easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday
    workout made me stronger.

    She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a
    few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my
    dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so
    thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

    Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness
    in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
    Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry
    mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an
    essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer
    and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I
    might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
    walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
    hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly;
    it was just like our wedding day.

    But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I
    held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to
    school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life
    lacked intimacy.

    I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without
    locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...
    I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I
    do not want the divorce anymore.

    She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do
    you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I
    said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she
    and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love
    each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home
    on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

    Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then
    slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove
    away.

    At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers
    for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled
    and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

    The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
    relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the
    bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for
    happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be
    your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that
    build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

    If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

    If you do, you just might save a marriage.
