Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.
I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love.
One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.
“Why?” he asked, shocked. “I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!” I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can’t even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him? And finally he asked me:” What can I do to change your mind?”
Somebody said it right, it’s hard to change a person’s personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him. Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : “Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let’s say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?” He said :” I will give you your answer tomorrow….” My hopes just sank by listening to his response.
I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes…. My dear, “I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further..” This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.
“When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs. You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You always have the cramps whenever your “good friend” approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails, and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand… and tell you the color of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face… Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do… I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. ”
My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting… and as I continue on reading… “Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk… I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread….
Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone…
That’s life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.
Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.. . flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands… and that’s our life… Love, not words win arguments…

After reading this story, I have just remembered about myself. I really love my siblings,but I have never shown them how much I love them. Like my younger brother,when I go for a walk, he always asks me to go with, but I have never let him go. It doesn't mean I don't love my brother but I am afraid that there will be a problem happening accidentally and he will suffer from that. My older sisters also; I rarely joke with them, I never express my excited feeling when I meet them. I am really happy to see them but I just can't express; I don't know why. However, I know the answer now" That’s life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness."
My name is Yorn Saren. I am in room 406. As long as I finish reading Great marriage story, I just know what the true love is, and I understand the problems and the solutions. One thing that attracts me is that both husband and wife dare to discuss their problem honestly and directly. I also want to admire the husband that he could avoid wrong behaving when his wife tells him that she wants to divorce. This story provides me a core idea, that each couple should deal with family problems peacefully. My idea is we ought to evaluate our partner initially before we choose.

Married is very important of our whole life, so we should carry the life of married and the person we love too. When we have any problems in family, we should find solution together. Such as when we don't like our partner's activity, we should say out or make him/her to know our feeling. And then try to change it. Not the word of divorce. In my opinion, if we can carry our relationship, we can get the happiness.
After reading this story, it is showed about the great love between a husband and a wife. In the first time, wife seemed be angry with her husband because he never gave her warmness. However later on, she knew about the true love of her husband's feeling. Her husband gave her many things, but she never care about. After reading his letter, she was so surprising, and awake of what her husband did for her. Finally, the husband and wife should be closed relationship and ask for reasons if there is wonder. And the husband should have time for his wife too because she sometimes feels lonely when her husband doesn't care about her.
