A man and a woman serving one another in balance in love at all times....

They must become one. A unit. A team. kingdom bound.

The disired to please.

Since contemporary marriages are not hand picked by God himself, our only hope is to learn what Love really is and apply it with care to any and all relationships. Real Love is realized when you give from the heart and it is returned in the same fashion.
Marriage is not about "one-upmanship". Don't look to receive something in return each time you give of yourself in love.
When I was married, I am a widower, my pleasure came from simply having the ability and opportunity to Love and getting it done for my other half..Because I know it takes to two! Besides, "What goes around, Comes around" "What you sow is what you will reap".
1 Marry only if you are looking to protect and serve
2.Marry for Love only
3 Marry only if you need Love.....
One must be a Doer of the Word(Love), for God is Love.....

To all who are in this situation: Stop what you are doing and find out what kind of love is afoot, Real Love or Earthly lust.....

It's interesting that you should ask this. I have been pondering marriage in my mind quite a bit lately. I don't have all the answers, but I do know that it is never between "perfect people", and seldom even between people who are "perfect for each other". My own marriage is not perfect, but it has survived a lot of forces that might have torn others apart. I credit love, prayer, compassion, forgiveness, humility, effort, hope, faith, endurance, and an intense desire to make it work. There is passion, joy, and fulfillment, but not all the time. It's kind of the icing on the cake. I think that the divorce rate is rising because we are impatient with hardships...and with each other. That's just my opinion.[HEART]

Simple as 1, 2, 3.

1) Find out what love is and practice it in all your relationships all the time (by the way, God is the center of ANY real love).

2) Get married to and commit to someone of the same thinking about love God).

3) Honor that commitment, no matter what (in the grace of God).

1. I believe a marriage is a union, bond in which two people are communicating openly and share common goals together.
2. Both sides must have a desire to meet the goals and dreams of the one they love, and desire their happiness beyond their own.
3. I believe the divorce rates are increasing because people are made so busy from a poor economy, or so desensitized by prescription drug use, alcohol use, or drug use that they lose their ability to keep their family relationships priority. We have become both a too busy and too intoxicated society in general.
