The video consists of five idealistic scenarios that potential married couples can look forward
to after tying the knot.
We begin with the notion that husbands would continuingly fall deeper in love with his newly
wed wife. Needless to say, he would find his wife prettier by the day, a situation that every
husband would hope to find themselves in. However, the first scene depicts a very possible
scenario, where ladies after months of wedding preparation begin to indulge in feasts. Given
the lack of motivation for self-control she would unknowingly begin to lose her figure and
appeal. Thus instead of finding his wife prettier by the day, he would eventually begin to
think otherwise.
Till death do us part The vow of eternal love that frees the couple from preexisting
insecurities of loneliness. A stable companion for life, though at the expense of ones
complete social freedom.
To have a partner who is willing to do anything with you, is considered a blessing. Married
couples will now be able to embark on new hobbies and activities together as an opportunity
for them to strengthen their bond. Often such activities consist of household chores and
family orientated responsibilities and is at the expense of other social events.
Finances are important; in a committed relationship even financial experts enjoy the luxury of
a second pair of eyes to watch over ones financial assets. This serves as an additional layer
of safety net from a personal financial crisis. However with differing financial priorities one
may find themselves in a pseudo financial crisis.

Despite having to share your life with someone eternally, being married would still allow
room for personal growth. No longer sheltered from favors and kind acts, one is forced to
learn to stand on their own, Independence.
Marriage is a symbol of happiness however it is also a platform for conflicts. These conflicts
are present even with various combinations of genders within partners. These conflicts have
led to various social issues. Without marriages as a platform such conflicts could have been
averted.
Say NO to marriage.
