============================================================

>When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand

>and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly.

>Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to

>open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a

>divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

>She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly,

>why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the

>chopsticks and

>shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we

>didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find

>out what had happened to our marriage.

>But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my

>heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I did'nt love her anymore.I just

>pitied her!

>With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated

>that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

>She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had

>spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt

>sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take

>back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried

>loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her

>cry was actually a kind of release.

>The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to

>be firmer and clearer now.

>

>The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing

>something at the table. I did'nt have supper but went straight to sleep

>and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day

>with Dew.

>When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did

>not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

>

>In the morning she presented her divorce conditions:

>she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before

>the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to

>live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had

>his exams in a months time and she did'nt want to disrupt him with our

>broken marriage.

>

>This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to

>recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

>She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of

>our bedroom to the front door ever

>morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to

>make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

>

>I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and

>thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to

>face the divorce, she said scornfully.

>

>My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention

>was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day,

>we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding

>mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the

>bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters

>with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell

>our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her

>down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove

>alone to the office.

>

>

>On the second day, both of us acted much more easily.

>She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I

>realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.

>I realised she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her

>face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her.

>For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

>

>On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy

>returning. This was the woman who

>had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth

>and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy

>was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It

>became easier to carry her as the month slipped by.

>Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

>

>She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few

>dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my

>dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so

>thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

>Suddenly it hit me. She had buried so much pain and bitterness in her

>heart.

>Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

>

>Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time

>to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying

>his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife

>gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my

>face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last

>minute.

>I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the

>sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and

>naturally. I held her body tightly, it was just like our wedding day.

>But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last

>day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had

>gone to school.

>I held her tightly and said, I had'nt noticed that our life lacked

>intimacy.

>

>I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the

>door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked

>upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not

>want the divorce anymore.

>

>She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. Do you have a

>fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I

>won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I

>didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each

>other any more. Now I realise that since I carried her into my home on

>our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Dew

>seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed

>the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

>

>At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my

>wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and

>wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

>The small details of your lives are what really matter in a

>relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property , the money in

>the bank, blah..blah..blah.

>These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give

>happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and

>do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a

>real happy marriage!

>

>If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you, but if you do, you

>just might save a marriage.
