Marriage is like a car drive?

Before my husband went out to sea, he told me with a quirky smile on his fact to 'change the air in the tires' occasionally. Using your analogy, I wonder now what he meant? LOL!

hi,zhuhuifen,very nice to meet you here,I am from shanghai China too.I think your friend's saying is very picturesque,a married guy should obey the life regular,understand each other,thus their marriage may keep far and long.good luck to you,may you have a happy life!

Never thought of it that way, but it is a great analogy. Like a car, maintenance is important. Your brakes have to be checked (like the marital brakes need to be in good order when temptation to stray hits some people) and you have to make sure that the steering wheel is in good shape (so you can steer in the right direction.) Sometimes the car needs to be used strictly for business, but it also likes to be driven to fun places too. The lights need to be kept shining brightly, and any nicks in the paint have to be taken care of so it doesn't 'rust.' Every now and again they both need to be taken in for a rountine check up, just to make sure things are running smoothly, and to forgo any problems that might be averted in the future. Your friend makes a good point, and the comparisons are many and true! Have a nice day zhuhuifen!

Hi zhuhuifen46, If I may add here that many people in the world today, are selecting their life partners for marriage as if selecting a car - checking out the inner workings that make it run smoothly and efficiently and not forgetting that ever rampant exterior styling. Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, our life partners are much more delicate and complex than cars and sadly these errors can only be discovered at the last most drastic moment. Why? Well, a beautiful body or physical beauty most of the time is nothing but a camouflage over a defective mind and soul. I feel that people today are just too careless about their partner's sense of morality, devotions, commitment and most of all religious belief and this negligence has caused relationships to fail ever so rampantly. Blaming each other bitterly, when things do not work out and eventually failing in their relationship and marriage. Yet, they forget that they should be more particular with themselves and their partners in the first place to avoid the rifts in their relationships' vitals like personal communication, compatibility in character, moral standards, level of commitment and a no nonsense and uncompromising religion belief. In the past even today, we are all so familiar with the term accepting our other half as they are, but how many really deeply accept it? They claim that they are open when even the slightest casual cordiality outside their relationship could raise a storm. The every claim that they will accept their partners' whatever pasts, only to realize at the last moment that their hearts are smaller than their partners' past. Sorry for blabbing here, but I just feel that we should not view marriage like driving a car. Life and humans are just much more complex and delicate, when these two fragile entities come together, it takes even more than any known strong super adhesive glue to stick together. And if I may add more than the regular overhaul and maintenance services. Have a nice day.

marriage is like a car driving then i will say "dude if you have waited for little more time then you would have got the latest model one" so never rush towards it and wait until the right one comes in your life other wise you will have to content yourself with the same old and booring one

hi friend, it sounds good to be true, but i would like to illustrate like a sailor who sails across the ocean, suddenly storms and big waves come and hit the ship. sometimes a temptation may come into a relationship of a married couple. it depends on the couple whether they can solve the problem or not. if they can, they will survive until the end. if they can't, they will end up with divorce. just like the sailor, he can survive, if he struggles with every single effort he made. but he will die if he made a mistake.
