Does marriage get inevitably boring?

by Srinath Nalluri

Marriage gets boring only if you are married to the same person.

1. When you cuddle her on the bed and take pauses between the kisses to breathe, you are in conversation with your lover, who is absorbing all your desires while simultaneously simmering with her passion.
2. When you discuss with her about the politics in your office and listen to her work targets, you are in conversation with an employee from another company.
3. When you both sit down on the hotel bed, early in the morning, open the google map on your phone and simultaneously check with her the places on her laptop, you are in conversation with a travel buddy.
4. When you are searching for words to patch things up after a nasty fight last night, you are trying to build conversation with a friend who understands your silence.
5. Some 10–11 years later, one Sunday evening, when you discuss about whether integrated science or sociology is better for your daughter’s future and which she would find it comfortable for her skill-set, you are in conversation with a co-parent.
6. Later into the sunset years, when you complain of some backache and she comforts you by giving you medicines, you are in conversation with an old age companion.

Marriages may not always be boring, because you are not with the same person.

They can become good or bad, which is a completely different thing. But bland and boring is a rare phenomenon, not everyone undergoes through.

Simply because Your partner grows. Her personality changes, her perceptive changes and the roles she takes up change. Her intelligence and wisdom heighten.

You grow. Your personality and perspective change as well.

And life sprinkles some new surprises occasionally, that bring out different reactions from both of you.
