A colleague once told me marriage is different from dating. It felt like a cliche. But he went on to tell me about his wife who woke up super early in the morning to make breakfast and packed lunch for him cause he found a job a couple of hours away from home. You will be lucky to find someone who loves you so much to do these things for you, he said.
When I heard such things before I got married, I thought how difficult it would be to find someone who will match all these criteria. You find someone and suddenly your mind start checking off items from the ongoing list you have been making whole of your life. You start asking yourself, can it be love?
Then one day you wake up with a fever and bad throat infection. You don’t want to stand up and do anything. Just lie on your bed hoping for things to work themselves out. Your mind start spiraling into one negative thought after another. And the you see your wife entering the room with tea and eggs and some medicine for your cough and suddenly you see all the pieces of the puzzle falling in place. You sit up and enjoy your tea and eggs. It is gonna be a beautiful day.
