Marriage: Act of the spirit, not convenience.

You want to talk about sensitive, marriage in today’s society is more fragile than Strom Thurmon’s hip. Truth be told, marriage should not be that easy to come by and leave. Marriage was not meant to be a disposable convenience that one could simply throw away at the first sign of trouble. The problem in today’s society is that we have forgotten what marriage is all about. No, it is not about convenience. No, it is not about paper work. And No, it is not about sex. Marriage is about unconditional love.

            Marriage for convenience is probably one of the worst ideas since giving Ted Kennedy the key to the liquor cabinet. When are people going to wake up and see that marriage is not only being with someone, but also being with someone you love? Marriage without love is like caffeine-free mountain Dew, What the hell’s the point? So you have a companion, so what? What dose it matter that you have a companion if it isn’t someone that you love? So you can look up from your death-bed at that person and realize, in those last seconds of life that you had complete and total Indifference toward them. Hell of a way to go if you ask me. I for one would prefer to love that person.

            Just the same, marriage is not all about paper work. I mean not unless your one of those die hard bureaucrats who works at the DMV getting off on paper work, and sleeping with a file folder nestled closely to your chest. Remember, Marriage is not an institute of the state but rather a divine institution of the spirit. Marriage should not be a technicality but rather a feeling, an internal voice that tells you this is right. This is the right person. Marriage dose not signify a legal union, but a spiritual one. You want to know how to tell if you are marrying the right person? If the thought “There is always divorce,” ever crosses your mind then forget marrying that person right then and there and call it off. Believe me, it beats the hell out of what you and that person will go through if you don’t. And I don’t just mean the paper work.

            To merry for sex is like buying a CD for one song, you are spending a lot for a single piece of the picture. Problem being that the rest of the picture may be terrible. Marriage for sex is one of the most dishonorable, vile, and heartless acts one could commit against another human being. If someone wishes to keep their virginity for the right person and then loose it to someone who knew all along that they were not that person then they have been robbed of the most sacred gift that they wanted to offer that person. How dare anyone want to steal something so valuable. Remember, marriage is for love, not lust. Big difference.

            Just remember, Marriage is sacred, divine, and meant to last. In the end do you want to get to the pearly gates and be greeted by your beloved, or by “That one person I roomed with back on earth?” Think about it.
