从父母角度看孩子的婚姻

从父母角度看孩子的婚姻
 
虽然现在有各种流派,说婚姻是选择项,人可以一个人(或者加一只猫)也过得很好,我还是觉得一个人有一个家庭自己可以为之投入,有自己的孩子可以看着长大,超过自己,是美妙的不应该错过的人生经历。
 
人不管自己在外表多么好强独立,都有孤单虚弱需要亲情需要陪伴的时候。有亲情有陪伴的关系,从中获得只是一半,还有付出的一半。人从这样的关系获得的是两面的。
 
我给你们讲一个孤独的时刻。那时候书还没念完,有一天工作结束很晚了走出来,天是那样的黑,夜是那样的静,在寒夜澄清的高空之上,有一架客机飞过,两个翅膀上一红一绿的灯,和一排舷窗里透出的暖色的灯光,都看得清清楚楚。我能想象到飞机上坐得满满的人正在温暖的机舱里,他们不会想到黑暗中地面上我一个人孤零零地站在空地上看着他们。他们过一会就到家了吧。
 
那个瞬间感到的孤独,比寒风更渗透骨髓。在这个时候,自然地希望有一个家,一个在寒夜里惦记着有自己亲人在那里候着你往回奔的家。
 
现在的社会环境,过于强调自我,忽视了让步和调和,结果是人对男女关系的渴望被这个关系带来的烦恼畏惧所遏制。我对此没有解决办法,因为是社会性的。所能希望的只是我的孩子们能有好运气碰上不是太自我的,懂得付出的人。

苹果山庄 回复 悄悄话 同意,可社会变化大,咱只能抱着良好愿望
mikecwu 回复 悄悄话 婚姻是生儿育女的必须,父母年纪大后都会感到生命尽头的接近,而孙辈则是新生命的开始,是老去父母生命的延续。这就是父母希望成年子女瓜熟蒂落,结婚成家的根本动力。

正常父母都希望单身子女结婚,也都希望结了婚的子女尽早给他们带来孙辈。这是几百万年自然选择的结果。那些对子女的后代无所谓的基因都因为没有后代而早被淘汰了,没有承传下来。
清漪园 回复 悄悄话 父母的心声啊!
alpha123 回复 悄悄话 赞同! 其实把这些话可以写给孩子们。
晓青 回复 悄悄话 不自我的人太少了,社会提倡自我呢。
亮亮妈妈 回复 悄悄话 与你的感觉有共鸣。我上学外出搞调研时有一段时间是自己一个人吃饭。怎么都觉得吃不香。当时就觉得这吃饭一定要人多,起码两个人,边吃边说话。所以得有个家。热热闹闹的特别好。
borisg 回复 悄悄话 回复 'elfie' 的评论 :

thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I have similar considerations and try to find some solutions. I will probably elaborate more on this when I get more mature ideas.
elfie 回复 悄悄话 I think having a few good friends is more important than being married and having children. Yes, I do love my children. But one day or another they'll leave me and have their own family and friends, or even children.
I decided I need to build a social network for myself before I get too old to get out of my house. This has never occurred to me before in my 30 s and 40 s. I was busy building my relationship and raising children. Now I realized it shouldn't be that way, I need to extend my friend circle for old ages.
Where to find like minded people? Not in churches but in the synagogue where I found whom I'd like to be with. It's a community nearby and it's a very small community where people come and go. Luckily I found a nice young woman there, who wants to befriend me. What a success! On top of my conversion, I scored friendship and kindred spirit! I love Jews. It's a small minority just like what I am, in the sea of blacks and conservative Christians in the Southeast. I've tried different groups of people, this is the right match for me. Blacks? Whites? Christians? No. Often I find them either unfriendly and guarded or biased against others, especially the local blacks. By working in a school of majority black staff for a few months, I learned it'd never work out for me. Actually the experience was terrible. No offense to anyone, those people's manners are not for me. Their culture is not for me.
石假装 回复 悄悄话 “于强调自我,忽视了让步和调和”是世界通病了,特别是独生子女那代开始。包容协调让步多是从小在养成的。
我们最重要的是不介入。
竹风_如火 回复 悄悄话 赞同,朋友,同事间相处如此,婚姻怎不更是如此呢!!
