Marriage

To some, marriage is merely a word, to others it's a piece of paper. As far as I'm concerned, marriage is in the heart. If you truly love another person, it is the ultimate expression of that love.

Some folks still feel that marriage is important. I am one of those people. I did live with my husband before were married...but I believe this is a good and very important practice. It is important to have your eyes open when you are going into a marriage. The simple fact is that people are going to have annoying habits, and you really have to know if you are going to be able to put up with your spouse's annoying habits. I feel you don't really know a person until you live with them. I don't think that society should hold it against a child if their parents are not married. It is not under the child's control what the circumstances of their birth are. I think a child should be judged on their character like every other person. That is why I hate that it appears that people don't put much into raising their children anymore. Many children today are not disciplined, and it is evident in their lack of respect for others. I think marriage is still important. I prayed that God would send a good man who would love me for me, and He did. My husband and I take our marriage seriously and it was important to us to take those vows before God. The legal aspect is very important as well, financially, or if something were to happen to your spouse, you would have legal authority to make certain important decisions. That is why I think it is unfair that homosexuals are not allowed to marry. They have many headaches because their commitments are not legally recognized.
