I've been thinking about something a lot lately. Why has our Pakistani culture made physical intimacy such a taboo topic while emotional intimacy has become so rare?

Whether someone wants to get married or doesn't want to marry at all, both men and women seem anxious about their future. Marriage, which is supposed to be a sacred and peaceful relationship, has often been reduced to fulfilling a basic need for intimacy. Yes, a healthy physical relationship is important, but I don't understand why emotional connection is so often overlooked. At some point, everyone needs understanding, reassurance, and emotional support who doesn't even care about others happiness still they also want someone at one point.

I feel like our society has made relationships so complicated. The bond between husband and wife is one of the most restricted and misunderstood relationships in our culture, while almost every other relationship is given more freedom. Ironically, all families begin with this very relationship.

I just wonder when we'll reach a point where both men and women can choose their life partners without constant fear and pressure and fear of two faces personality. I truly believe that choosing the wrong partner affects far more than just a marriage. It can take away a person's youth, mental peace, and happiness.

People may disagree with this, but I believe both men and women shape the next generation in different ways. A father influences through leadership, protection, and values, while a mother nurtures, raises, and emotionally develops children. That's why the character of both parents matters deeply. A healthy family needs both.

Sadly, in today's world, finding someone emotionally mature, kind, and trustworthy feels like a spy mission. It shouldn't be this difficult, but somehow it is.
