Why do we get married?To over six and a half billion people on earth you did come across different answers,some of good reasoning and others that sound absurd,you come across common answers such as:
1.To ensure continuity of one's lineage(for the purpose of having kids).
2.To unite two wealthy families(more money for daddies).
3.Because it is the mark of a responsible adult in the society (environmental pressure).
4.Because age is telling on you/you're not getting any younger(the natural woman's nightmare).
5.Love....
From the list above the least carried out on earth today is a marriage orchestrated by Love, think about it,we hardly marry people we love,we marry people we barely know anything about,we say we will learn to love them,we will grow to love them,but the truth remains its never so,love isn't developed,it's like a mother saying am still learning to love my child which is ironic, Love occurs naturally,love knows no disgust,there's no fear rather only the fear of losing the one you love,it is selfless and sacrificial,it yields hope and strength in darkness,that's why we have many failed marriages today because most of them weren't built on love,people rush into it without thinking twice,you are going to be with that person for the rest of your life,you will wake up to his/her smell daily, you will see only one naked body,you will talk mostly to this one person, you will laugh at their good and bad jokes,you will tolerate their attitudes,you will cry with this person and celebrate with this person,you will share private items,you will both make love to one body,you will sacrifice time and energy for this person,you will make children with this person,you will raise these children together,you will share each other's pain,you will console one another,it's a one in a lifetime decision and if made wrongly will waste time as well as life and resources, but when love and understanding is in play,your marriage being found on a pure platform of divinity will withstand every trial.
So many men and women have stepped into marriages out of infatuations and attractions,and after a while of being together regret their decisions,they start being hostile to one another,they fight,nag,don't talk or communicate and after a while get tired of trying.
We all have our reasons for wanting to tie the knot,but above all know this,when making the choice of the man or woman you want to spend the rest of your life with have it in mind to chose someone you love and who loves you back in turn because years lost to unhappiness,a broken home and heart can never be recovered and years treasured with love are priceless.........STINE
