Marriage in my country

I had read Chetan Bhagat's 2 States a few years back and thought how
could I waste my time reading something so trashy. No offence!
But today its all coming back to me. I am totally in love with this
person and he is totally in love with me and some might consider how lucky we are but there is more to it. In my country,India its just not about falling in love. But marriage revolves around two or more families. Everybody, yes everybody including thy neighbor's dog must agree to a nuptial bond.
I might sound a little flustered but since morning I have been
listening, convincing, arguing and it might have got a little on my nerves waaallllaaa!! and I thought I never had a temperament.
Horoscopes yes the major factor. Astrologers are paid money to match
the husband's and the wife's horoscopes till they manage to find a perfect match. And the good news is that our was
matched too. And mine says problems which might cause such harm to my spouse that he will never have a good health or wealth
if he gets married to me. I just wonder how would my marrying him change anything. I have been with him for years and only
seen him prosper. I love him honestly with all my heart and pray that we are happy always.
But how can I ever argue with what the mighty astrologers say. I just
sit and wait for the verdict ,look at them and wish hard hoping they can come up with any kind of solution for my wretched stars.
The question that comes to my mind is how is that people are happily
married in the other continents. If the stars are not matched then the odds are almost all marriages should fail in misery.
But on the contrary, people fall in love and get married. I have seen
couples with 40-50 years of marriage, holding hands and walking together. How is it possible that these people lived a happy married life?? It shouldn't be possible at all.
How can everybody be happy seeing the two people in love unite.
Nobody worries and nobody cares about stars. Isn't love the only thing
that makes marriages work. How can somebody avoid anything to happen in future. Wouldn't the astrologers have made their lives wonderful if they had such powers. Why are they poor then.
I was a believer but I have believed that there is a solution to
everything. If God creates a problem then he gives a solutions. I am just looking for the key..
