Summary of poem marriage by nissim ezekiel

Answer 1

The six stages of love are under discussion here. There is love, at first, then marriage, the happiness in the beginning and then come the strains, the pain and the separation.

 

One of the harshest realities of life and its greatest ironies has been this institution, which starts as the ultimate bliss but fades away into the nagging existence of both.

 

Unresolved emotions and miscommunications often result in the decline of intellect. This is a mystery that haunts the writer especially when he hears wedding bells only to sigh within himself of this irony that is joy at first but a nag in the end.
