What does marriage mean to you? Surely, different people have different answers to this question. In real life, marriage holds different meanings for everyone.

Marriage is not a joke. Once you choose to start, don’t end it easily. In this vast world, it’s not easy for two people to come together. Giving up the person who has always been by your side for novelty is not worth it.

Wang Qiang and his wife have been married for over 10 years. They were college classmates and have been through thick and thin together. At the beginning of their marriage, they had nothing. Her parents initially opposed their marriage, but with the wife’s persistence, they successfully tied the knot.

After getting married, they continued to live in a small flat. They barely had any money left after paying rent, but the wife was willing to stay with Wang Qiang through thick and thin. Due to life’s pressures, they ventured into entrepreneurship, working hard to earn extra money to support their family.

Starting a business was tough for them. The wife was already five months pregnant at that time, but she continued to work alongside him. Their living conditions improved over time, but the distance between Wang Qiang and his wife grew.

As Wang Qiang’s business grew, he had more social engagements, leaving him with little time to spend with his wife and child. Even when he was home, they had nothing to talk about.

Due to work, Wang Qiang met a female client three years younger than him. As they interacted, Wang Qiang started developing feelings for her. This client took advantage of his favor towards her to secure business deals, but secrets never stay hidden.

Eventually, the betrayal came to light, and the wife confronted Wang Qiang. Without hesitation, Wang Qiang bluntly suggested divorce. Heartbroken, the wife demanded, “Since you’ve decided to leave, divorce is fine. But you must leave with nothing.”

After hearing the wife’s words, Wang Qiang recalled the days and nights they spent together, realizing her companionship was the reason for his success. He knelt before her, asking for forgiveness and promising to be a better husband.

Qian Zhongshu once said, “Marriage is like a walled city. Those outside want to get in, while those inside want to get out.”

In real life, we might have heard that couples who can only share joys and not sorrows are meaningless. It’s undeniable that the world is full of temptations.

In our lifetime, we may encounter many people, but those willing to stand by us are few. Life is short, and whoever we meet is destined. Remember, never betray the one who stood by you when you had nothing.

Roland once said, “In love, we need not force anything; in marriage, we must be responsible.”

Life is short, and we must take responsibility for every step we take. If we can’t even be loyal, how can such a relationship last?

Marriage requires courage from each of us. If two people come together by fate, they should encourage each other to go further.

The person who is willing to stay by your side when you need them is worth cherishing. In life, we may have many choices in love, but if you choose someone, treat them well. Only when you understand the true meaning of love, will your relationship become more stable.

Life is full of surprises. Each of us has different answers about who is worth cherishing. No matter what, never give up on someone for novelty.
