Marriage is a bond between two people that should not be broken. It is the simplified word that represents a promise made to another and to God. It is a display to the world of the love and promise you have to another person. It is the selflessness that you (intend to) give to that person and the promise that it will never falter. Marriage represents the trust and faith and hope that you have in a person and everything they stand for. It shows the world that you stand behind that person one hundred percent. Marriage is to be the ultimate expression of love, hope, faith, trust, and integrity. A person who is a partner in marriage is blessed with the ease and assurance of knowing that he or she has someone who stands behind everything that they represent without waiver. Marriage should be the easiest act a person can perform, because it is simply the need to love a person unconditionally and while trusting with all of your being, also remaining completely trustworthy; this is also what makes marriage the hardest thing for couples to do. In our society it seems much easier to trust someone who is able to make a choice in the matter, which is altered through the commitment of marriage. If the kind of love can change than it is feared that the ability to love another enough to spend forever and always with them can also change. This is a fear that comes with love. This is the seed that spawns distrust. Distrust is poison in a relationship that requires the perfect blend of revere and blind faith to overcome. This is what makes marriage hard at times, but it is also what can help it to grow strong.
Marriage is one of the two biggest and best changes a person can have in their life.
Marriage is the first hardest, but also the first greatest thing, I have ever done in my life (Alex was the second.. in order of time, not greatness). My getting married was step one in the right direction of my becoming who I was meant to be. I was meant to be a wife and a mother first and foremost. I thank God every day for the life that we have made and pray that it can only get even better, and maybe a little easier, but I'm guessing that comes with age and experience :)
Marriage requires blind faith. Marriage requires hope. Marriage requires love. Marriage demands faith, hope, love, and the willingness to work no matter the cost to maintain all aspects of a loving, forgiving, helping, hopeful, faithful relationship.
The greatest thing that a person can experience in life is love. Marriage is the source, and also the result, of love. Marriage is a partnership between two people with the vow to withhold all of these things, with love.
