Why Get Married?
When we consider throwing out the formal, "marriage", we might want to consider what we are saying to our mate! Something like, I love you but not enough to commit to the rest of my life on earth being spent with you." You see, anyone can walk away from a relationship in our modern world, many have, but inside there remains a nagging little voice that says, what if?
What if you had known then what you know now? What if you could have believed that the commitment had to go on as long as you were alive? Wouldn't it have changed how you treated the relationship, or for that matter the becoming involved in the relationship in the first place.
When we understand that, when we give our word to something, we are giving a promise of what we will do, we might want to take some thought to what we commit. The world has taught us today, you can walk into and out of any situation you want, anytime you want, so long as you are willing to pay the consequences! Those consequences are just not high enough anymore for us to refuse to pay them when it comes to marriage.
Perhaps when you consider entering into a relationship,if you were to wait to secure that relationship physically and mentally, until after marriage, you would understand why it is so important to still acquire that union with a paper stating to the world that you are now one flesh, working for common goals and dreams.
Denying the fact that marriage has value, does not remove the truth from the situation, it may allow you to deceive yourself enough to convince you that you can have what you want, without waiting and without being responsible and accountable.
When you remove God's laws from your heart and let them be filtered through your mind, you might just want to be careful, for they are there for your best and most profitable lifestyle.
