Love and Marriage

Love is suppose to go with marriage but sometimes it doesn't workout that way. Love is when someone adores someone else so much that they would do absolutely anything for that other person. Marriage goes along with love. When you get married, you are really saying that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. Ann Bradstreet writes in her poem To My Dear and Loving Husband, " I prize thy love more than whole mines of coal". (Bradstreet) She is trying to say that she loves her husband so much more than money, nature, or anything really. In her open she is telling the reader that true love is the way to happiness. When you love someone, you should love them forever, even after death. On the other hand, Wislawa Szymborka writes in her poem "True Love", "So many people in the world what makes you think you found the right one?"(Szymoborska)  I feel like Wislawa has gone through a very troubled past with love. They was that she refers to love is not in a very positive way. In her poem, her clam is that love isn't needed and all in all it is a joke. I personally don't think love is a joke because you could love you family, a friend, or a pet. Love can't just be about the physical side because you love more people than just your partner. When I get married someday, I want my future husband to be my best friend. You need to have friendship in a relationship for it to be a healthy one.  In Gustau Klimts painting entitled "The kiss" he wants people to know that when you are in a relationship, you need togetherness. In the painting, the couple spear as one and that is how he shows it. Also there is a blanket that covers the two so you can't tell what they actually look like. I think what he is trying to show through this painting is that it doesn't matter what you look like. You should love someone no matter how they look. Fat, skinny, tall, short it doesn't matter, love is love. As I said before there is much more to a relation ship them intimacy. Gustau Klimt feels the same way because the blanket that is covering the couple has a very busy pattern on it with a lot going on so that is how I interpreted the painting. I think love is a very hard thing to find but when you find it, or even if you find it, you should hold on to it forever.
