The Matrimony

Everyone is head over heels for the latest single by the Lyricist, Wale. The single is titled "The Matrimony," and some have even titled the song, "Making Plans."

Today, I was sitting and listening to the song, and I was intrigued, intensely, more than words could allow. Most people think of Matrimony as a fancy word for marriage, and be it as it may, it could be considered a fancy word. Truth be told, the word Matrimony is not fancy, just a complex and compound word. Let's take a look futher into the word.

First, the word  begins :

MAT... One letter shy of mate.

So with MAT it is understood as mate or partnership.

Next, there is the TRI, the middle of the word. In math, we see or understand Tri to mean three. As in a Triangle. TRI is understood as the union of three entities

-Mind

-Body

-Soul/Spirit

And lastly, the end of the word is abridged version of the word monogamy or monogamous.

Monogamy is the condition of being married to one person at a time.

There is more to a word than what is oftentimes presented. Sometimes, to fully understand a word is has to be taken seriously, by exposing the variations of orgin to grasp the concept.

Personally, I do not feel that "Making Plans" is a suitable title for the song, as Usher proclaims that if there is a question of love, you got it, and that "it" is LOYALTY which  solidifies monogamy.

Actually, on "Bad" song, also by Wale, he breifly speaks on monogamy. And based on his "More About Nothing" album, which is the prequel to his latest album, "The Album about Nothing," he interludes about how he can break down a relationship in a lot of different ways.

With, that being said, one could conclude that the complexities of relationships, love, and marriage is definitely an intensive, and thought provoking topic to lyricist.

Moreover, just the word, Matrimony itself, brings about questions that an individual should ponder upon before agreeing to a Testament.

Futhermore, the ring that is given to a wife, is a physical representation of a union. The band is merely the foundation of eternity; The Matrimony.

-Be Forever!
