"It is all thanks to the power of marriage."
Ya fantasy romance is this "power of marriage," and how does it work? The readers of Bearing the Blades by Tyger Price also ask the same question as they progress through the book. Let's decode the term.
Marriage is a relationship we choose for ourselves. It is the most significant promise we make with another person, a promise of support and happiness. It is like watching a leaf through the seasons, turning even more beautiful with every changing shade. But in today's age, marriage is viewed like any other relationship.
People often underestimate the power of marital life while it continues to influence every aspect of your existence, such as physical health and emotional stability. When two people stay committed to each other, they enrich and reorganize each other's lives physically and mentally. But everyone thinks differently.
Stigmas Surrounding Marriage
Millennials and Gen Z-ers find marriage a hassle because of the culturally rooted stereotypes of ownership and patriarchy. Historically, marriage was seen as a means to attain power in which women had little control. Many cultures also quote the institution of marriage as being demeaning to women. But that is all in the past; the world has greatly evolved from its age-old practices.
Although social pressure creates an aversion, marriage has many social and personal benefits. Sharing your life with another person takes honesty, commitment, respect, and love to work out. Here is how marriage helps people flourish in life:
It Lends Emotional Support
With loneliness comes despair; people often look for a shoulder to cry on in bad times, and marriage lends you that shoulder in the form of a life partner. It not only brings you closer to each other but also helps you overcome the challenges in life. Lack of this protective factor can cause many physical and mental problems, such as hypertension, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
You Can Grow Together
In happy marriages, people give each other the space to grow. They communicate with each other, share their feelings openly and honestly and show their gratitude. A happily ever after is where two imperfect people accept their imperfections and work together to make them perfect. As they learn to enjoy their differences, they adapt and grow together.
Marriage Has the Power to Change Lives
Marriage has the power to change the course of life. When you start living together, you will discover many new and unobserved things about yourself. Your every decision and move will change in your partner's interest, like Kendrick, who retreated from his lifelong pursuit to run away from war for his wife, Adianna. Although he hates war and bloodshed, he cannot help but follow Adianna's path, who is destined to end her world's misery with the power of Blades. Learn more about their story in Bearing the Blades, the first book in the Blades of Sheorae Series.
