從父母角度看孩子的婚姻

從父母角度看孩子的婚姻
 
雖然現在有各種流派,說婚姻是選擇項,人可以一個人(或者加一隻貓)也過得很好,我還是覺得一個人有一個家庭自己可以為之投入,有自己的孩子可以看著長大,超過自己,是美妙的不應該錯過的人生經曆。
 
人不管自己在外表多麽好強獨立,都有孤單虛弱需要親情需要陪伴的時候。有親情有陪伴的關係,從中獲得隻是一半,還有付出的一半。人從這樣的關係獲得的是兩麵的。
 
我給你們講一個孤獨的時刻。那時候書還沒念完,有一天工作結束很晚了走出來,天是那樣的黑,夜是那樣的靜,在寒夜澄清的高空之上,有一架客機飛過,兩個翅膀上一紅一綠的燈,和一排舷窗裏透出的暖色的燈光,都看得清清楚楚。我能想象到飛機上坐得滿滿的人正在溫暖的機艙裏,他們不會想到黑暗中地麵上我一個人孤零零地站在空地上看著他們。他們過一會就到家了吧。
 
那個瞬間感到的孤獨,比寒風更滲透骨髓。在這個時候,自然地希望有一個家,一個在寒夜裏惦記著有自己親人在那裏候著你往回奔的家。
 
現在的社會環境,過於強調自我,忽視了讓步和調和,結果是人對男女關係的渴望被這個關係帶來的煩惱畏懼所遏製。我對此沒有解決辦法,因為是社會性的。所能希望的隻是我的孩子們能有好運氣碰上不是太自我的,懂得付出的人。

蘋果山莊 回複 悄悄話 同意,可社會變化大,咱隻能抱著良好願望
mikecwu 回複 悄悄話 婚姻是生兒育女的必須,父母年紀大後都會感到生命盡頭的接近,而孫輩則是新生命的開始,是老去父母生命的延續。這就是父母希望成年子女瓜熟蒂落,結婚成家的根本動力。

正常父母都希望單身子女結婚,也都希望結了婚的子女盡早給他們帶來孫輩。這是幾百萬年自然選擇的結果。那些對子女的後代無所謂的基因都因為沒有後代而早被淘汰了,沒有承傳下來。
清漪園 回複 悄悄話 父母的心聲啊!
alpha123 回複 悄悄話 讚同! 其實把這些話可以寫給孩子們。
曉青 回複 悄悄話 不自我的人太少了,社會提倡自我呢。
亮亮媽媽 回複 悄悄話 與你的感覺有共鳴。我上學外出搞調研時有一段時間是自己一個人吃飯。怎麽都覺得吃不香。當時就覺得這吃飯一定要人多,起碼兩個人,邊吃邊說話。所以得有個家。熱熱鬧鬧的特別好。
borisg 回複 悄悄話 回複 'elfie' 的評論 :

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 回複 悄悄話 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.
石假裝 回複 悄悄話 “於強調自我,忽視了讓步和調和”是世界通病了,特別是獨生子女那代開始。包容協調讓步多是從小在養成的。
我們最重要的是不介入。
竹風_如火 回複 悄悄話 讚同,朋友,同事間相處如此,婚姻怎不更是如此呢!!
