In today's society marriage is not as serious like it was in the 50s or even in the 60s...
There are too many marriages ending up in divorce and there are too many people getting married for the wrong reasons. When they get married some don't have the patience to work on their disagreements like the people did in the 50s. So their marriages fail in divorce. I believe because our generation is moving so fast that we don't have any time to work on our marriages and that's why I think we need to go back to basics, the bible! We forget what marriage is supposed to be all about; the three strand cord God, husband and wife. (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
Marriage is like a business and you both are the CEO's and GOD is the chairmen. The goal is to rise to the top if you can accomplish that and keep God first in your marriage you will have more out of life then you can imagine so make time for God and each other so you can have a 30 year plus marriage!
Stay blessed!
I agree with this article, too many people don't take marriage seriously they take it as a glamorous event. Not realizing marriage is hard work, more hard work than a non-marriage relationship. And not putting God first is also a challenging one at that.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I can agree about the marriages in the 50s and 60s only because things were different back then. The women were slaved in the house cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids and having no input of anything in the marriage. I believe that God gave both men and women the voice to speak and put God first in their marriage and at everything else.
Sorry for the very long comment! :)
