Marriage is for life. It is not a temporary remedy for a situation you are facing. It is not an opportunity for you to get what you do not have but a chance to share all that you are and have. Marriage should focus on a life time not ‘as long as it is convenient for me’. Selfish men and women cannot make a marriage. A happy marriage is where a husband and wife compete in out-giving each other through out their lives. For marriages that last for a life time, no spouse entertains a feeling or an idea of the existence of any other better partner than the present one.
Any married man or woman worthy some respect must be fully committed to his or her spouse without conditions. Sacrifice is one of the keys towards a life long happy marriage. Every man an every woman must make a deliberate decision to live harmoniously with his or her spouse. Respect and value for each other makes each spouse feel appreciated.
A marriage relationship is like a garden. You can not prepare your garden then expect to harvest anything if you have not planted. Neither can you plant your garden and then disappear expecting to come back one day and harvest some fruits or vegetables. The same applies to any marriage. You must put in a lot of effort, time, and commitment to achieve any joy, happiness, security, fulfillment and peace from it. One of the problems in marriages today is lack of a life time focus. Many married men and women can not be sure to say how long they will live with their partners. Please decide now that you are married for life. Let your marriage not be a means to an end but make it an end in itself.
Marriage Is Incredible
Marriage is an exceptionally incredible institution. When my daughter was seven years old, she could tell me about her boyfriend - Joseph - who happened to be her classmate. She believes Joseph will be her husband despite the fact that he is not clear in his mind about her seriousness of their friendship. That is how incredible marriage is. Both the under aged and the aged, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong are all giving marriage a very serious thought. The astonishing high rate of divorce is not, will not and should not be a hindrance to any individual from considering and indeed jumping into it, of course at the appropriate time.
Marriage is such an awesome idea that not many consider the many and great responsibilities associated with it before getting into it. Many married couples can not remember when they sat down to plan on how to tackle the challenges they face in their marriages today but the amazing fact is that they are able to maneuver through them all. This means that in a marriage of serious, positive and committed couple, there exists some divine power which when activated, releases sufficient energy, grace and wisdom to face and manage any sort of a crisis or conflict arising.
This being the case, then there is no cause of fear of getting into marriage. Friends, just be sincere. Whether you are single, married, separated, divorced or even windowed, there exists a desire in every sound human being to be in a long lasting and fulfilling companionship. To some, this longing is on the surface and to others, it is hidden deep. To some, it is a top priority while to others; it is just an issue to consider. Whichever way, marriage is wonderful. Go for it, stay in it – whatever applies to you.
