Ive been thinking about marriage a lot...mostly bcus I'm at that age...n i want to be married, like most women. I also think about the state of marriage today in our communities, whilst thinking of my own track record with my own behavior and the kind of men i attract. There are many people who are ok with the idea of divorce. We say if he cheats, leave. If he beats u leave. If he is lazy, leave. So many iffs and leaves. But what also do these same people mean when they declare for better or worse. To me that would seen this is the worse they were vowing to stay thru. I have witnessed so many divorces that started out as the best love stories of all time. Why take a vow, a covenant before God and then discard it away when things become rough. Not to say its easy for anyone because i also know that divorce is very difficult for all involved. i have also been noticing that unless you are just extremely lucky, its rare that after kids, the woman can also find another husband whilst the men remarry or get into another relationship practically the next day. We are fighting tooth and nail for the right to marry whomever we want yet those who don't need to fight treat Marriage as something to do when we come of age or have been together long enough Many people claim there was marriage happening way before christ and it has nothing to do with God. But when we get married preachers say what God has put together let no man put asunder and that means that there is a God given purpose for marriage. Is it for happiness, state benefits for for personal accomplishment and satisfaction. Why do non christians get married in a church and completely disregard everything else to do with the church or what christ wants for those who get married. I think a lot about what i want out of marriage when God blesses me with a life partner and i also pray for the discernment from God to know whom to marry. But with so many divorces, its defiantly a sorry state of affairs for the institution. God keep us all
