Dislike Your Wife, So You Can Love Her!

What is the difference between liking and loving?! Don't we like the one we love?

When we say we like someone, we mean they are as we expect...However, when we start to want to be with someone, that we least like, then we call it love!

After reading all this, please don't ask us, "what is your plan, as how to like each other?"

Let me repeat: I have finally found the magic key to Love, and that's "disliking"...and I am not letting it go!

Love is like magic, it has the unique element of surprise, that liking does not have at all!

Matched Blessed couples love, has a great potential for that magic of love, because it was never been based on liking, but striving for love.

We had to brave into a sea of mystery of the realm of love, while the rest of the couples in the world were looking for compatibility, predictability, and "liking" agreements.

That mysterious unknown sea of love (in arranged marriages) was actually very cold, dark and lifeless. The only light we had was the love of True Parents to keep us warm.

Every time I wanted to say I like you, I had to call a Japanese translator...

Every time I wanted my favorite Iranian meal, I had to look into that dark mysterious seaweed soup!

Every time I wanted to cry on her shoulder, I was guided to do a bow condition and act like a (Japanese) man!

While making love, had no idea, which sigh would signal "like" or "dislike" in Japanese lingo!

It was bad, really bad..!

...and 15 years past, and we got up and saw three kids hanging our necks and still don't know in which language to say I like you!

And came three years of separation, and divorce...

Now, kids are grown up and tell both of us that "they can't imagine we ever made love!".. That's when I have to bang on their head and say "How do you think, you came into existence...!"

So far in the story, it is like a horror movie, instead of a romantic one! isn't!

Well, for 15 years, I pretty much had given up on ever liking my wife! Yet, after these three years of separation, I have been in, for quite a surprise!

I never in my wildest imagination, imagined to say, I actually can LOVE my wife. Specially now! After all this separation and hurt...

Well, I bet, even you may doubt and ask me, what do I exactly mean by that word, LOVE!?

As I said, love is wanting to be with someone you least "like"! And that best qualifies for me, my wife as that some one!

Let me conclude: I have realized that I can only love a woman the most, when I can dislike her the most!!!

And thank God, I found that woman, and she is my matched wife!

P.S. Wow, I said the word dislike, what a relief!

P.S. After reading all this, please don't ask us, "what is your plan, as how to like each other?"

Let me repeat: I have finally found the magic key to Love, and that's "disliking"...and I am not letting it go!

Now that's a mystery!
