Divorce is such a common word and thing happening around us right now that marriage doesn't seem sanctified and special anymore. That is of course the common view out there. I have a different idea about marriage.
I believe in being married forever till death do us part. It's a conviction in my heart. I know there will be times when I may want to give up the relationship altogether, but I know that is not the right thing to do. Marriage is two becoming ONE, I know that's true.
4"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'[a] 5and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'[b]? 6So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19: 4 - 6
Marriage is made sanctified by God, and nothing should separate a husband and his bride. Marriage is not only about feelings, because feelings fail us many times. It's hard not to be afraid whether my future husband will turn out unfaithful, but if I don't ever take a risk (who says getting married is not a risk??) I'll never know the beauty of God's gift to us. It's really taking a huge step of faith being committed to only ONE man in my life.
Divorce, I hope and pray, will never be in my dictionary. I believe in working on making my marriage a beautiful journey which the two of us should have as promised. I also know that we might one day stop talking to each other, again, I pray that it will never happen.
I want to be a wife who first loves God, and I believe everything flows pretty much when God is my number ONE love relationship. This just sums up the entire thought above, that my husband-to-be (whomever he will be), must first love God with all his heart. All relationships in Him and through Him will work out when it's not so much about us anymore. We'll see what happens. *smile*
Okays, I'm still in the reality, not knowing whether I'll be married someday or not. Writing this does not mean I am desperate as some of you may think. I am Single Available - not and Not Desperate (S.A.N.D). I just believe in being ready in certain issues in life when the time comes. It's better than soaking everything like a sponge and not filter those 'information' in our minds. Time to get ready for a shower and hit the books again.

Leave a lil thought here... divorce was never meant to be in God's plan. It was Moses who allowed the Israelites to be divorced because their hearts are stubborn and hard. Let no one separate who God has joined as one. What do you think? I think Jesus was questioned about this also, think He answered something like this too.
My post is what I'm thinking..It's just dangerous to be immuned to divorce and accept that as part of our life and saying that, I know divorce is a very real and painful thing to go through. That's why I sure don't want to be in that position. It's the breakup of society. Families are suppose to be the backbone of a community. :)
well said. divorce like alot of thinkgs has become normal thing in Western Culture. I, of course, can onlye speak for the USA as i do not know the cultures of other groups like your gracey. it's sad to see almost 60% of the people who get married here in the US end up divorced. I pray to God that i will not end-up divorced like my parents did. i want to find the one and be with her as long as i live. *smile*
Hey Joel, thanks for sharing. Let's pray and hope like mad together!*smile*
