Personal Essay: Marriage Is A Faded Word

856 Words4 Pages

MARRIAGE IS A LOADED WORD If your marriage is on the rocks it could be due to something as simple as a lack of exercise. An increase in blood flow and oxygen to the brain can work wonders. Marriage is a loaded word; so, add to the load...gracefully. If you think about marriage long enough it may make sense or it may not make sense. Marriage is not a word to dread unless you are void of energy. I know that marriage can work because God ordained it to do just that. Some newly weds wish they knew more about marriage. Some who’ve been married 50 years wish they knew less about marriage. When two people get married their laughter should increase 100%, if it doesn’t, then, they need to stop buying lemons. Men! Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t like poetry and wisdom...Psalms, Proverbs, …show more content…

A married woman once told me that certain aspects of marriage were just too intimate. It was then I knew that the intimate aspects of marriage were created by God. Love is the seed for intimacy...where all aspects are permitted. I believe a good marriage is the healthiest and greatest relationship two people can have on earth...definitely something to be in pursuit of...the greatest show on earth. When Adam saw Eve he said “Yes.” This is why yes is such an obstinate word. Men! If God gave Adam a wife...it could be his idea to give you one. A woman is a responsibility waiting for a sponsor. A woman may not necessarily become a wife after she says “I do.” A woman may become a wife when she decides to. A man marries a woman and she becomes his wife at some point in the marriage, hopefully sooner than later. At what point after the marriage ceremony can a man know that he has a wife...when she decides she doesn’t need to think about it. Some believe that “I DO” is just for the marriage ceremony only and some think “I DON’T” is for life after the marriage

    There are two major types of marriages in the world, arranged and love marriages. An arranged marriage is when a partner for one of the individuals is chosen by their family, and no love is usually involved. A love marriage on the other hand is when two individuals choose to marry each other because of the love they share for each other. A successful marriage is when both individuals can love, care, trust, and are happy with each other even through the ups and downs. Even though arranged marriages have their pros such as lower suicide and teen pregnancy rates, love marriages are more successful than arranged marriages because the individuals actually love each other from the start, there is the freedom of choosing their own spouse, and there

    Marriage by definition is “the legal union of a man and a woman as husband and wife.” Americans statistically fail in a marriage, (According to Susan Estrich)“with more than half of all marriages ending in divorce, families are not what they used to be.
