Marriage- next to religious beliefs and choice, possibly the biggest decision any of us will ever make.
To marry, or to remain single. That is the question. Now, I know there are some who prefer to remain single- they haveno desire to be married, and are happiest living alone. Then there are those who live as though they are married, but without the “paper work and ceremony” to go along with it and make it a sealed deal. Then there are people like me who believe that if you are going to be commited to someone, and want to spend your life with them- marriage is the only way.
I vote for marriage. If you are going to live with all the fun of being married, then be married. Why deny what has traditionally been the greatest joining of people together- just for the sake of being politically correct, or not commiting because of fear.
If you are already married- make it an adventure. Don’t stop surprising each other. Keep the flame burning. Enjoy all life can offer you, together. There is no need to get bored or grow tired of things- if you keep sparking the fire.
Making the decision to be together for life (and that is how marriage should be looked at- despite the popular fad of wanting contracts for a few years and then it is over), is a serious one, but should not be feared to the pointo f being afraid of commiting. It should be embraced as a step towards completion. Completion of a couple becoming one, a new family beginning, and a force that had never been being.
Marriage is a uniting of a front, a tying of a knot that is not easily untied, and the unveiling of a power that is greater than one person ever could be.
As scripture says “Two become one”- that is a great thing.
