Brethren, decisions are always made in marriage, if you don't want your post-wedding marriage to become a miserable spectacle, then you should immediately make it a matter of serious and thoughtful reflection.
Marriage Day is the point from which many men and women tell of their successes or failures and from which they pin their hopes for the future. Marriage is something that affects and affects your whole life both in this world and in the future.
God created a woman to be a companion and assistant to a man, to be one with him, to encourage, inspire and bless him, and that he, in turn, be her trustworthy support.
Those who marry with a sacred purpose, the husband, to find a pure arrangement of the heart of a woman, the wife, to soften and improve the character of her husband, fulfill God's intention for them.
Christ did not come to destroy, but to restore the institution of marriage to its original sanctity and height. He came to restore the moral image of God in man, and began his work approving marriage.
The divine love that emanates from Christ never destroys human love, but embraces it. Thanks to this, human love becomes refined and pure, sublime and noble. Human love will never bear precious fruit if it is not united with the Divine and is not directed upward to grow for Heaven. God wants to see happy marriages, happy families.
Like all the other good gifts that God entrusted to people, marriage was perverted by sin, but the purpose of the gospel is to restore its purity and attractiveness. The Lord wants the family to become the happiest place on earth, a symbol of the heavenly family.
The first year of living together is the year of accumulation of experience when the husband and wife learn the different qualities of character from each other, just as the child learns new things at school. Let there be no pages in this first chapter of your family life that overshadow your future happiness.
In their bond of affection in life, both husband and wife should serve for the happiness of both. Each of you must do everything possible for the happiness of the other. It is God's will for you. But when you unite in one whole, each of the spouses must not lose their individuality, dissolving in the other. Your individuality belongs to God.
To understand what constitutes a marriage, you must live a lifetime. The married go to school, which will not end in this life. No matter how prudent the marriage begins, it is seldom possible to meet a couple who would unite in everything when the marriage ceremony is just finished. In the coming years a true union of two married people is formed.
When a young family faces daily difficulties, the romance in which the imagination often clings to the marriage disappears. Husband and wife recognize each other's characters in a way that they could not recognize before. This is a critical period in your life together. The happiness and success of a whole future life depends on whether they can now choose the right path. They often notice previously unknown weaknesses in a partner; but hearts united by love will also distinguish previously unrecognized virtues. Let the couple seek to identify advantages, not disadvantages. Often our personal attitude, the atmosphere around us, determines what we see in others. Let's trust that marriage is created by God.
