The different innovations we see in science and technology nowadays come from different bright minds working together to address mankind's needs.
As the fearless quest against hunger and diseases continues, the complexity of human relationships goes on opposite ways, into something paradoxical. A lot has been said and done on how people become friends and soon go on separate ways.
There are norms that are already set in our society a long time ago. But there are also standards set in one's self. Men prefer to marry younger women. But with some beliefs in the community, marriage of two people with significant age gap is considered a "cradle snatchers" act for the older partner.
Arranged marriage is sometimes easier to handle for more innocent women compared to those who are already more experienced in life. The society has already a standard as to when the marrying age is still up especially for the females. But this doesn't mean that when they reach or have even outgrown that preferred time, walking down the aisle is already an elusive dream.
Age should not be taken as a serious factor in the issues of marriage, just like how it is also being taken on the corporate world. Having a younger wife doesn't always mean a better companion in life.
Setting people into marriage is no longer as simple and private as before. This tradition becomes so commercialized these days. It's like a trading game. As long as there's a willing buyer and seller, a deal can be sealed anytime.
Just like a real trade, the deal is accompanied by a contract between two individuals with a possible involvement of a third party broker. A girl traded for marriage is being presented with attractive opportunities like local and out of the country travels.
When all the parties agree, the contents of the contract take place. An instant marriage is set. But the situation is much better if the two complete strangers become good friends and eventually, lovers.
