Marriage is definitely worth it!

Much can be learned from choosing to get married, being married and staying married. Through all of its ups and downs, the relationship between the two individuals become sweeter and kinder, thus creating an everlasting, and enduring marriage.

When we as individuals choose to get married we are in the most obvious state of mind: completely in love and thinking marital life with this other person is exactly what we want, and usually enter into the union with the knowledge that this is a binding contract. For most people, it is a contract not only bound on earth but bound in heaven as well. The decision to get married isn't taken lightly as this is one of the most important decisions you could possibly make in a lifetime. The person you choose to marry needs to be the right person for you and you need to be the right person for them. The decision of whom you are marrying must be the right choice as this is the most important choice in order to live a happy, everlasting and enduring marriage. You should be sure that you're attracted to the person both physically and mentally as this helps to keep the spark in the relationship as well as stimulating, interesting conversations to prevent boredom. Mutual respect, patience, kindness and lots of love should already prevail in the relationship prior to marriage. This ensures that both individuals will be selfless rather than selfish which can really be damaging to a marriage. A tip that has helped my husband and I before we got married is: always remember that you're marrying and will be married to your best friend. Treat your best friend better than you've ever treated anyone else, and I guarantee that you will be treated the same way and you'll live in marital bliss.

Being married is absolutely fabulous! Some people may say otherwise; however, hardwork coupled with love makes a marriage wonderful. The reason why I say hardwork, is because marriage is definitely not easy! It isn't just some walk in the park where everything is going to be perfect. If everything were easy and perfect most of us who are married would probably become very bored and tired of marriage. However, lucky for us, marriage is a work in progress and forever will be. Of course you're going to have disagreements and at times arguements and for some of us, lots of arguements. It doesn't mean that your marriage is doomed for failure. It just means that one or two of you is extremely opinionated or rather bull headed
