sanc6: Share your thoughts about MARRIAGE

Source

Marriage is one of the most beautiful journeys that two people can ever decide to partake in. To me, marriage is so much more than a wedding, dress, photographers, and all of the surrounding family and friends.

Those are nice moments, for sure.

But that's the beginning of the marriage; the wedding. Marriage is truly the portion after the "I do" has ceased to ecod within the air, and two individuals choose to build a life together.marriage, i believe,is and should be more of a partnership rather than anything else. I don't think it is about being with someone you want to be with when all is going swell. We all make mistakes (and i'm still going to make many, like all humans), so what matters to me most about marriage is the part where two individuals realize that no one else besides God will love you perfectly.

Marriage involves accepting your mate with their imperfections and vice versa.

It is when you choose them each and every day and when you begin to grow together with each other. Marriage involves an intimate and personal aspect where communication should become constant; couples ought to be more like a diary where both feel like they can be open without judgment and completely, utterly, freely honest. I would say love is the absolute basis of a marriage, but in no way, shape or form is love all that goes into marriage.

Respect, patience, understanding, communication and trust are also so important in a healthy marital life style. Also, i don't think that marriage should be like a competition. What the man brings to the table should be thought of not differently, but rather equally, if not more important that of a woman.

Men and women are completely different and although one should support each other's goals and ideas and contribute to each other's thoughts and plans, women and men should feel like they have totally separate roles.

In this case if one person wants more support than what another can give them on their own, there needs to be open dialogue for support of another nature; that is the true beauty of marriage and that is the difference between simply living together and living in matrimony. Marriage to me also proves itself and is the truest commitment.

It also demands a great deal of sacrifice and forgiveness; this shows to me, that it is more that love. To accept somebody and to hold them close without asking to be changed because you do not like them how they are now, but when they are married, but rather to love them now and to hope that although people can, and will change over time together: that for the most part individuals are committed to each other with their traits from that moment forward.

I cannot think about an amount of times, though, that i'd give up on this marriage with my mate, and also with God too; to me a marriage is meant to last a long, long time and through thick and thin, because that represents my beliefs too on the subject of marriage.

So all in all, marriage, to me is a promise, to hold my mate's hand for all time, both in the tough, unpleasant situations, and the sweet, joyous ones. I look forward to making this vow, if God willing, to my future husband.
