What is Marriage ?

i think we all crave that life long loving relationship. Its a pity most of us dont find it.

one thing I have realized that if a person goes into a marriage thinking, "I can change them, they wouldnt do that for/to me.."(the classic bad boy scenario), it is doomed.

Perhaps thats why i never married. LOL
 
Marriage for each of us is unique...

Prior to marriage, a man is a mystery to a woman.

Through marriage, a man becomes part of his wife's world, the woman's world which he was previously ignorant about. It is the same for her. She discovers the mysterious world of a man.

Through marriage they end up possessing both worlds In a God's centered marriage, a man and woman can be united before God, who is the original subject of masculinity and femininity.By becoming one with Him, God will be in the fruit of their love as they strive to build an ideal family

I suspect "marriage" is something unique for each of us.. It's foundations and outcomes would be unique. I wouldn't trade my relationship with my wife for anything and we've both grown from the experience. Our children also I humbly think have benefitted from stability and example.. Our strong points have been carried on.. Some of our weak ones too.. God has something to do with it as our beliefs are similar.. Spiritual relationship between us is as important as the physical relationship was.. I think we both may be nearing an end of the physical aspect considering the Fall and Winter of our lives is approaching.:)

actually the way I was taught was him, her, and God...

"What about those with no god?" I suspect they're missing an element...

I suppose it might appear that way to you, given your worldview. But the "missing element" in my view is actually shared values. ("God" is merely another way of expressing this.) If two people have committed themselves to the relationship, and have relationship-nourishing values that they share, the relationship is likely to be a success.

As I see it, problems with relationships often arise from disconnects in values. (IOWs, different "gods", metaphorically speaking.)
