And...Well this is very funny I laughed a few times. And you know I think that one major reason 50% of marriages fail is because of all the "hype" you described. Built up by media and books.. But mostly because people in this day and age just expect things to fall into place. People have become lazy and don't want to work for anything anymore. I do feel that God intended man and woman to marry because he wanted to establish a sense of closeness and love that is almost a sample of what we will feel when we are truly close to Him. And being that Jesus tells men to love their wives as he loved the church we can conclude that the institution of marriage was meant to have a very strong connection. One that you would die for, he did after all die for the church or "his people". But it's my opinion that relationships especially marriages fail because they don't have God as their foundation. No relationship in this world has a chance of lasting without God being at the center and when you think about a relationship is pointless without God.. Another thing that confuses me is why nonbelievers marry. I mean this is an institution that was created by God. And yet countless nonbelievers participate in it. Like people who celebrate Christmas but don't believe in Christ !!! One thing I do know is that marriage is not easy. Once two people join together and make a commitment not only to eachother but an "everlasting" promise to God, Satan and his agents are hard at work to break this covenant. He blinds us with the "hype" in movies, makes us feel that marriage should be perfect and blissful and easy. Not to say it shouldn't make you happy but you're always going to have problems in this life with all of your relationships. Ones between friends, family, coworkers, and yes marriage. I mean it only makes sense. But as the sayin goes "easy come easy go"; as quick as a person is to jump Into marriage may very well determine how quick they are to jump out. And in my opinion marriage can only work, last, and be what it was Always meant to be if God is the Rock you build it on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13664670707561488178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745923313723535370.post-27274338944813565642009-12-30T09:21:34.918-05:002009-12-30T09:21:34.918-05:00This is very honest.
