Upgrades and Downgrades in Marriage
When couples argue, there's often a difference between the 'start-up phase' and the 'operational phase'. The wife says, 'You used to be so sweet when you were pursuing me.' This sentence holds a deep meaning: all those sweet words were meant to win my heart, but what about now?
The husband sighs, 'That was the start-up phase, this is the operational phase.' This makes me think of many things. When we first start a relationship, we always put in a lot of effort to show our best side to our partner. But once the relationship stabilizes, we start to slack off, thinking we've already 'won' our partner over and don't need to try as hard.
The wife retorts, 'So the service has been downgraded?' This sarcastic comment hits the nail on the head. Yes, many times we feel like our partner's 'service' has been downgraded. They no longer care about us like they used to, are no longer as thoughtful, and no longer as romantic.
The husband quickly responds, 'No, it's just that the user has become too stable, and activity has decreased.' This comment treats marriage like software development. If the user is stable and activity is low, of course, there's no need for as many updates and maintenance. But is this way of thinking too 'technological'?
The wife picks up a pillow and says, 'Then I'll uninstall you.' This threat is clearly a joke, but it also reveals a real concern. If the relationship between partners no longer has novelty, passion, or effort, will it really be 'uninstalled'?
The husband immediately hugs her and says, 'Don't, I'll update the version right away.' This makes me think of many things. In marriage, we always need to update and upgrade. We need to keep learning, growing, and improving ourselves to keep the relationship fresh and passionate.
