Two hearts are joined together. Two shall become one. The union of a man and woman means saying goodbye to ‘me’ and hello to ‘we.’ Let me just say that the word we is the most abused word in the English language. I say this because if you’re married long enough you’ll find that we means you.
In the early stage of marriage we does stand for both partners.
We bought a house.
We bought a car.
We comes with a question mark attached in the middle stage of marriage.
We had a baby. Really, we had a baby?
We are breastfeeding. Really, we are?
We love giving the kids a bath. Really, we do? Number 3 comes with a question as well as a lie. This lie is the foundation for the late stage of marriage. This is the stage when we becomes you.
We need to shop for my mother’s birthday gift. Translation – you need to shop for my mother’s birthday gift.
We should mow the lawn. Translation – you should mow the lawn.
We should write out the Christmas cards. Translation – you write out the cards.
We have to wash the car. Translation – you wash the car.
We’re getting a divorce. Translation – we’re no longer we and you will give me half your money.
So, now it’s goodbye to we and hello to me.
