Can Plastic Surgery Save a
Marriage
What do you understand when you say ‘marriage’?
Often you see two committed to each other individuals who
cherish each other. Unfortunately, though most marriages start
in this manner, very few maintain this level of emotional
commitment. The love, the mutual respect, the physical
attraction wanes off after a few years. The interdependency
that initially felt so good, in this scenario becomes
troublesome and irritating. Why is it that two people who
love each other one day, fall out of love after a while? There
are many reasons for this; but some of the most obvious
are:
-
Mismatch of thought and behavior - When there
is a mismatch of thought you cannot converge on a common future
plan, which in turn would push each of the spouse search fro
like-minded people who understand them. The longer they seek this
understanding outside the marriage, the more they would grow away
from each other and the marriage would eventually end in
divorce.
-
Falling in love with another person - this is
a possibility which is rare but very real. Very often the heart
does things that cannot be explained logically and falling out of
love and in love again is possible. In this situation, the whole
thing would depend whether the ‘erring’ person would want to pursue
the new founded love or work at his/ her marriage.
-
Evolving into a physically unattractive person
– by putting on weight, not grooming oneself to look presentable,
not maintaining personal hygiene, developing gross habits, etc.
What happens when you are no longer attractive to your partner?
Obviously, your partner would stop being interested in you for sex
as this option would all of a sudden be rather unpleasant. Once sex
goes out of the marriage, the countdown for a possible divorce
starts looming at the horizon. So what could be the
remedy?
Plastic Surgery Pros
Plastic surgery comes with a handful of
advantages:
-
Safe and Fast - The advantage with the plastic
surgery is that it is a safe and (thankfully) fast way to pull
yourself back into shape.
-
Shows your commitment – when you take the
trouble to undergo plastic surgery – facial, or on the body such
liposuction – you show your commitment to the marriage. You say, “I
care and this is why I am making an effort to look good for
you.”
-
Enhances physical attraction – good looks
almost always attract the opposite’s attention like a magnet. Once
the physical attraction is established, a lot many things in your
marriage would gain new perspective. It would become all of a
sudden very easy to “repair” the marriage.
Plastic Surgery Cons
There is another side to the coin, i.e. the
negative side:
-
Implies shallowness in marriage – though
physical attraction is important, the fact that you need to look
good to be loved might not always mean a healthy marriage. A
healthy marriage would mean love is there –
unconditionally.
-
Demands equal effort from the other spouse –
going through plastic surgery is a great effort involving money,
pain and a good deal of time. When one of the spouses takes so much
trouble to put the marriage back on track, he/ she would demand the
same level of commitment/ effort from their counterpart. If this is
not forthcoming, then the marriage would suffer.
-
Quick fix addiction – one might get too used
to such quick-fix methods of restoring the thrill in the marriage –
and fail. This happens when you would think that everything
depended upon your looks, which cannot be the foundation of any
good marriage.
