You were born together and together you shall be forevermore
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God
But let there be spaces in your togetherness
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you
Love one another but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf
Sing and dance together and be joyous but let each one of you be alone
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music
Give your hearts but not into each other's keeping
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts
And stand together yet not too near together
For the pillars of the temple stand apart
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow
Khalil Gibran

agreed, marriage has its ups and downs, but that does not mean you can beat up a wife nor throw a shoe at sonia amongst other things. siapa makan cili, dialah rasa pedas. may Allah soften your hands so that you wont be able to hit on another, unless it is to slap yourself stupid.

Empty promises hold no water for me anymore. So done and thro with you
