Marriage
The definition of marriage is the legal status, condition, or relationship that results from a contract by which one man and one woman, who have the capacity to enter into such an agreement, mutually promise to live together in the relationship of husband and wife in law for life, or until the legal termination of the relationship. This definition was presented http://legal-dictionary. thefreedictionary.com. Not all marriages are done for love. People in the military often do it so they can get more money from a deployment and then break it off afterwards. Sometimes it is an arranged marriage, two families arrange for their kids to get married as part of a business deal. Often times the marriage is arranged in order to get cattle from the other family. Back in days of yore, some families with have their children marry to help end an argument or war between the families. Some couples get married because they are drunk. This tends to happen in Las Vegas or New Orleans. People go out and party and get drunk and then wake up the next morning laying next to each other with rings on their fingers.

You've depicted a very tragic but real picture of what our society is like today in America. Hearing stories like this makes me want to cry, because deep down inside, these people really want to do what they think is right (marrying for fininacial stability), or they are searching for love through any form they can (sex, drugs, etc.)
ReplyDeletePremarital sex inhibits people's ability to love truly, makes them selfish, leads to broken hearts, causes guilt, and sometimes leads them to marry the wrong person. A sexually-active relationship can cause blindness in one or both parties. You may "fall in love" with a person who is bad for you.
When a person gets married to someone after being sexually active with others, there is a greater chance of dissatisfaction with the marital love life because of comparisions with past expereiences. A person who has not engaged in sexual activity will appreciate his or her spouse and their love life so much more.
I pray for people who are suffering from the pains of sexual addictions and the loss of true love among marriages today, and hope that God will help them through His grace.
I know that living a chaste life will bring beautiful rewards and, in the end, true happiness and love. In marriage, I know that my spouse and I would have a clear conscience about sex because God will have blessed our union.
I don't think you could have answered this discussion any better. I have to tell you being married myself I never really looked at it as if I was in a form of a contract. It almost makes me feel as if I am under someones order when it is used that way.
ReplyDeleteIn reference to the military doing it for benefits, you are correct some do but being a military spouse myself I can tell you for a fact its not really worth it for the benefits. Never ever person is cut out to be a spouse of a military member. Its far from an easy job and definitely isn't worth any amount of money to do it just for one anthers benefit.
