Is Marriage Still The End Goal For Most Couples?

Most couples eventually would like to walk down the isle of matrimony. Down deep in our heart and souls, nobody wants to be alone in our harsh world, as we know it. Creation made us to be couples, even if we do not admit it openly. Finding comfort and love in a relationship, and knowing no matter what life throws at them they will battle the evil demons together. The ultimate goal is finding your true mate that you would give your life for, and someone you can trust to the death!

A big step is finding that perfect person without a doubt in your mind, which will hold the key to your heart until the end of time. However, this is not an easy task. Some couples struggles to find their true mate, and others it is there right in front of them. You want your first marriage to be the only one unlike our parents with multi marriages, which never work out, so with that scenario we try to take are time to make sure we are not making mistakes.

Our children are afraid to walk into the ring of fire at least that is how they feel about marriage today. With all the negative feedback from our parents and society it is a miracle anyone decides to get married. Marriage is still a wonderful Blessed Union if both partners are willing to make it work.

Life is an adventure like a rollercoaster, with its many dips, twists, and plunges it is a wonder we still ride them over repeatedly. We are looking for that perfect ride, something that we will always come back too. A ride where you feel comfort as well as the thrill of your life all wrapped up in a neat package.

Finding the right person is like finding that perfect ride, that needle in the haystack. Once you feel that you have found your only one, it will only feel right to make a promise and a pledge for undying love for all time. Saying this Pledge in front of family, friends, and God makes this a Sacred Promise.

There are no guarantees in life, you have to take chances and go with your heart. Once you are married then the hard part begins, in keeping the marriage new and exciting. That is when being an adult really counts, and knowing where your responsibility truly lay's, with your mother or with your wife.

Many parents get too involved in their kids marriages and sometimes it can be helpful, however, most of the time it's only a hindrance, and keeps them from growing up to become responsible adults who are now married.

Think of married life as game, the more you battle, fight, and love gains you experience points into maturity, which is valued extremely. The more obstacles you encounter, and the way you both handle the situation will determine your life experience points. If you can get the task finished with little to no damage, you have done well my child!
