Disappointed Purpose of Marriage [Tanka]

by Khalid M Darwish   Feb 15, 2013


Most men get married
because they reach fatigue stage
Women get married
because of curiosity
but both are disappointed

    If I go with the content of the poem, yeah that's a disappointing purpose for marriage.

    However, that's not the purpose of marriage in my opinion. it should be because they love each other and they want to either their love be bless by God or they want their children to be acknowledged in society not as bastards but as children that were born in a marriage. So purpose of marriage is thinking about having a family and being together in my opinion not because of curiosity or because they are fatigue.

    But you covered a good point, I guess that's why there are more and more divorces.
