Marriage – the Hen Laying Golden Eggs!

February 16th, 2010 | by admin |

Have you heard of this story about a hen laying golden eggs? For those who haven’t, I am trying to write it down here -

Once, there was a poor farmer in a village. He had a hen that laid one golden egg everyday. For some days, the farmer sold those eggs and became relatively richer. But now, he was tired of taking care of that hen and waiting for each egg day after day. Also, he wanted to become rich quickly. So he decided to rip the hen apart so that he could have all the eggs at one go and become rich overnight. But to his disappointment, when he slit the hen, nothing came out. And now, the hen is also gone!

Now you must be wondering how does it relate to marriage…right?

Its pretty simple…. any marriage is like that hen laying golden eggs in the form of security, companionship, togetherness, fun, intimacy, etc. However, these golden eggs are only an outcome of the care, wfforts and time given to it. Just like that farmer got tired of taking care of that hen, most people get tired of taking due care of their relationships and start taking a ot of things for granted….which is like killing that hen!

In the beginning, every marriage has its rosy days but you gotta nurture it forever if you want it to continue giving those ‘golden eggs’ forever!

I really don’t know how this thing came to my mind, it just clicked or maybe I read something like somehwere, sometime back….I donno…

    Is marriage financial and sexual suicide for men?
    lets face it guys women use great sex as bait to get their man and once the hooks are into u it then starts to slide…… after the baby has been born it becomes virtually non existent………..then u are trapped because of todays draconian divorce laws that lets her keep the house and a nice little cheque from u every month………this incentive of course then stops her ever marrying another bloke as she wont want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg…marriage in this day and age is pure and simply the emasculation of men

    PS..i am not married and never will be

    If that were completely true, no man would ever marry. I think you’re right not to attempt marriage, it’s not for misogynists like you.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay, idk where you are getting your info from but my husband and i still have great sex, frequently. AND we have 2 children. Marriage is not the emasculation of men. marriage used to be the submission of women, perhaps you perfer that? You are only hearing the worst parts of the worst marriages.

    You’re describing an American life as truly as anything I can think of, which is why it’s smarter to marry foreigner. Even after marriage, women from most other cultures know that men earn more when they’re motivated and happy, so they are more supportive, and when it comes to sex, 90% of the women in the world know one thing very well; a man who isn’t capable of possibly having any more sex than he is having right now, is physically incapable of cheating.

    Smart women, those wily foreigners. I am constantly surprised by my wife’s ability to get me to do what she wants.

    Wow! It’s too bad you feel that way. A lot of women feel that way too. They get married and the man tries to make her be his mommy and forgets to romance and pursue her anymore. Why would you want to keep having sex with someone that doesn’t pitch in, doesn’t support you emotionally or treat you like a sex object sometimes instead of a maid? Yep, don’t get married, lord forbid some poor woman has to put up with your sexist stereotyping for the rest of her life.

    I seems to me the potential women in your life are jobless, broke bums who leech off of men. I’m my own woman, and never asked for ANYTHING in a relationship other than honesty and emotional support.. Find a real woman with hr own agenda and your perspective will change.

    P.S.

    Stop dating the gold diggers!

    hmmm While reading your question i thought perhaps that you were talking from experience, because my friend you are 110% correct, But that in turn leads me to worry about you because you have taught yourself to well and have maybe taken the enjoyment and thrill of life learning lessons away from yourself ? My moto is that you must experience some things in life before learning from them,But good question cheers.

    No. According to my sister her husband was a terrible lay and when they divorced he got close to $100,000 from HER house. Nice.

    well im a 20 yr old girl and dont think will ever want to get married. though i will say on the flip side of your argument i have heard from embittered wives i know men pretend to be and caring, thoughtful and to totally adore a woman until they have her trapped in a marriage and then suddenly they think an erection poking u in the back at 3 in the morning is all thats required to get her in the mood.and they also pretend to have interests hobbies and be fun to go out with but once married do nothing but watch tv

    Only if you think it is. With the attitude you have, do women a favor and stay single. By the way, good marriages are partnerships and friendships and the sex is still great after many, many years…
