Mindless Marital Ethical Assumptions

Many folks that I have come across in my short lifespan, particularly those with a secularistic Western mindset, cling tenaciously to the buttocks of idiotic assumptions regarding relationships. What annoys me, in particular, is when these folks thoughtlessly and dogmatically universalise these assumptions as both a moral 'givens' and applicable to all people. Following are some of the silly universalized assumptions.

* Thou shalt... what? Thou shalt not get married at a young age.

* Thou shalt travel throughout the world and visit many places before daring to mention the 'M' (marriage) word.

* Thou shalt have many boyfriends/girlfriends to find what thou likest in a partner.

* Thou shalt not have a short engagement, but rather, marry 2-5 years after the proposal.

* Thou shalt livest together in sexual synchronization before thou art be-wedded.

* Thou shalt pee on the sanctity of marriage.

* Thou shalt adjust thy marriage associate on the flimsiest pretext.
