What most people don...You are certainly right, DT. What most people don't understand about marriage is: it's not about sex, it's not about love, even. It's not about companionship or even security. It's about a commitment being so sacred that two people become connected in such a way that they grow more and more together (even alike) as time goes by. Using the example of the Christian Bible, when God is speaking of marriage He says "and they SHALL BECOME one flesh". Meaning, it takes time. The problem we see today is that too many people expect it to happen over-night or in a few weeks or months. The process takes time. Couples who have been married for many, many years will tell us that it's more than just some kind of a sexual or civil union. It's a life. The two become one - and they share one life. It's a beautiful thing to see and a beautiful thing to share with your spouse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
