When love fails
This article highlights the perils of today's marriages.
It highlights philandering husbands in its depicted scenarios of victimised women. Men it seems is the epitome of lust and women the angelic virgins. Historical facts does little justice to men when polygamous figures seem to hog history from emperors to musicians. Are men so despicable?
It often saddens me to think that couples so madly in love in courtships, could suffer from such irreparable differences deep into their marriage. The wonderful and intimate moments where love conquers all, eventually dissipating into squalid divorce proceedings. Many pessimists tell me that almost all marriages travel down this unfortunate path, some into divorces while others suffer in bitter silence.
Marriage vows are less revered now. It rests on a legal document with escape clauses, just in case. The sight of a storm is sufficient to crumble the foundations of marriage. What took years of nurturing evaporating after a split second of madness.
Is love not sufficient to conquer all? Is love so fickle minded? Is believing in love now an obsolete practice?
Materialistic credentials, it appears is now the criteria of success in this game. Anything less will only result in shattered hopes, broken dreams and splintered hearts. Love is beautiful. But when it fails, it opens the doors of hell. The heat shearing the very core of your heart and soul.
Is it worth the risk of anguish?
Perhaps this quote is summative
Yes, I still do believe that love exists and marriages can succeed the cruel test of time. Am I foolish?
Love is patient and kind, Love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

Love doesn't fail , love strays.The guilty spouse in the failed relationship still has lots of love to give to another. He/She has decided to take the easy way out the marriage by abandoning ship!
Probably, he/she does not understand the commitment aspect of marriage.
Bette Midler's The Rose
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
