Marriage الزواج

Marriage seems to be a dying institution. Everywhere we look there are more and more statistics saying marriage is on its way out, divorce is on the increase, or people are leaving it later and later to tie the knot. A worrying trend over the past few decades is the number of people who live together without making the commitment of marriage. I'm not really sure what the difference is. If you love someone and want to stay together forever, why not get married? I think marriage adds a lot to a couple's life, from the wedding day itself right through to all of the anniversaries. Unmarried people miss out on these special occasions. Marriage is also important if you want to start a family. perhaps I'm just old fashioned

🧠 Intelligence الذكاء

People say intelligence is a lot more attractive than beauty. I often ask people if they would prefer a partner who is intelligent or good looking. They almost always say they want someone who is intelligent. I wonder why it is some of us are so intelligent and others aren't. Surely we are all born with a similar level of intelligence. I'm not really sure how intelligent I am Sometimes I think I'm intelligent but then I do something really dumb or I meet someone who is super brainy who makes me feel unintelligent One day I'm going to take one of those intelligence tests to measure my IQ Another thing I don't get about intelligence is how people think our leaders are so intelligent but then the leaders do such stupid things Do intelligent people start wars?
