Marriage is the lottery, which i read in one magazine many years ago before marriage. At that time I was eager to find my Mr.Right and overlooked even couldn't understand this saying. <div>As the people born in 1970s, reading the romantic novels written by Qiongyao were the main recreation in our youth. Aunt Qiongyao is a very excellent story-teller, specially love, romantic story. The leading characters in her novels were, without exception, beautiful and handsome. They run into each other one time and fell in love suddenly. And then an unforgettable love story began to develop, pretty sentimental, touching and weepy. They cherished each other so much that they looked like to live in two person's world, never caring anything else, just love. These novels were very popular among the young girls and then it was printed in our mind that we were fans of the leading male characters in the novels and we would follow their type to find Mr. Right. </div><div>However, the cruel reality is the opposite. After many years' seeking and struggle, we finally realize that such idols only exist in her novels. Love is a simple thing, while marriage is totally different. The former is sweet, romantic and considerate and the latter is more practical by going through the chores everyday. In order to keep balance, either of the couple should make the decision to sacrifice more for caring the family. It can go smoothly at the beginning, as the feeling of novelty drives her or him to wear smile often. With the time going by, imbalance begin to prevail, why i , instead of you stay to take care of the family. And then dispute and quarrel occur often. Moreover, Others are inevitable to have the last resort: divorce. Do they become happier after divorce? Sometimes, the answer is negative. </div><div>Marriage is the lottery. I believe it. To be honest, I am in fatalism. Birth, marriage and fate are designed by God, or other almighty ones. We have no access to make the final decision. But we are entitled to find wise and smart approach to maintaining them. So, be wise, smart. </div>
