People who are married would be the ones who I think could appreciate this piece. Others just read on and pick up as much as you can.
I have lot of friends and their friends and their friends... who are married. Have heared enough stories, seen lives/relationships falling apart and getting together stronger than before. I feel the same way as President Bush when I hear the words WMD. Just that it means something different to me. I read it as Weapons for Marriage Destruction. Yes, there are several weapons which a husband / wife use while expressing their difference of opinion and perspectives on issues pertaining to the home department and also external affairs.
I would like to categorize the weapons like
1. Short distance (sur)face To (sur)face missiles - shouting at each other on face,
2. Long distance air To air missiles - shouting at each other over phone,
As conventional wisdom says these are non nuclear and hence the impact is contained.
But the fun is when ballistic missiles are used. I am talking about NOT talking! Just like this statement, life gets complicated. Situations can be turned from bad to worse and to worst by just NOT talking. Usually this weapon of NOT talking is employed through both modes of delivery as explained above. First one has less impact because still there is an option of making it up. But when the weapon of NOT talking is delivered over phone (air to air missile), its impact is huge. The communication gap would widen and could result in possible separation.
Finally, the clincher is tipping the war head with nuclear material. SEX!! The mode of delivery is through [(Sur) face - (Sur) face missile)]. NO TALK and/or NO SEX. This has a deadly impact. The moment a fight / argument moves from just a difference of opinion it should stop.
When two nations or empires go to war, they use nuclear weapon as the last option. Probably you would have heard / read in Indian mythology that Brahma astra (Indian mythological equivalent of Atom bomb - Brahma - Atom, U know what I mean??) was never used.
The moment a couple start employing the nuclear option as the first option, remember, they are going down the path of complete annihilation. If any one wins he/she loses and even otherwise they lose.
Think?
