“Marriage doesn’t cure anything. It actually serves as a magnifying glass for problems I already have.”

Yep.

This is a litle late, but better late than never. Everyone tells you it is going to be hard and you say ‘I know I know” You think that you really DO know. The truth is you really have no idea how hard, HARD really is! Belive others when they tell you it is hard. Marriage Is hard work but so worth it and so possible when God is in the Center. Please Father, help me to make you the center of our marriage.

sarah…
I have no doubt, at all, that you (and chad) are healing my marriage before it begins. Thank you for the honesty and candor and life words. I pray they sink deep, deep into me.

Get married in a church if you must but LEAVE THE STATE OUT OF IT. And KNOW the character of the person to which you are going into partnership. Money comes and money goes, but good character is essential.

Marriage itself is an outmoded legal arrangement based on ancient forms to ensure that legitimate progeny inherit. Even Christ said, “There is no marriage in heaven.” Nowadays it doesn’t matter about ‘legitimacy’ (who came up with that anyway?) because all children are cute and good and deserve love and respect. All children are entitled to health and education.

If you insist on getting married, you should have at the minimum two years of living on your own – not with a roommate or partner-to-be – but totally on your own and paying your own bills. Be self-sufficient and have a job. If more persons did that there would be less of the “oh my spouse is abusive” nonsense because no one would have to put up with the garbage. Too many women try to get men to take responsibility for financial support. And remember, adult women are just as responsible for the health and welfare of children and pets as the men, so to stay in an abusive situation simply for financial reasons endangers the dependents and is a load of bs.

Excellent post.

What I know now is that you marry the whole family – not just the husband. In my case, that turned out to be a pretty good thing (mostly).

a few years ago about this time of year, i remember thinking to myself,’i wish i knew it(my marriage) was going to be this way this way.’ or even worse, ‘i’m not sure it was meant to be.’ that was a sad day.

and, the rest is history for me. for us. shortly after that resignation, that agreement with the enemy, i comprimised my heart and the rest is history.

looking back, i wish i would have known so many different things about how marriage really is. how it takes every fiber of our beings, sometimes. how it can be the best and worst all mixed into one.

and i also know, that i know, that i know, it’s worth fighting for.

He redeems the dark places and

even on the worst days, it’s worth the fight.

great writing, sarah.
