Marriage

Marriage is one of the most challenging rewarding adventures I have embarked on in my life. To so many people marriage means so many different things. Here are somethings that it means to me:

1. Marriage is forever. Divorce is rising, people are entering into marriage without thinking or really even getting to know each other first. I personally believe that marriage is a life time commitment. There are very few loopholes in this, and even if a so called "loophole" presents itself that doesn't mean you should take it. I think that "irreconcilable differences" is a lame excuse to get out of a commitment.

2. Marriage is sacred. Marriage is something that is ordained by God. It is Biblical, and established by God. It is used as an example of love, and sacrifice. It, in it's pure form is supposed to help us understand God's relationship with us and Christ's relationship with the Church.

3. Marriage is important. Having one person to share your life with, someone who will love you unconditionally, someone who will tell you when you are wrong and support you when you fall. Someone who will check and balance you, and support you. Being in that relationship when you both know that no one is going anywhere no matter what happens. It is more than just a verbal commitment it is a spiritual becoming of one that no one can separate with a paper.

These are just some of my personal thoughts and opinions on marriage. I have more, but what are your thoughts? Comments? Questions?
