My claim to fame was when I married my Princess and today we celebrate our sixth year wedding anniversary and it has been truly an awesome experience. I remember dreaming of rescuing and marrying a Princess who would sit with me on the throne in our kingdom; I remember the world stopping when I laid my eyes on my wife to be; I remember popping the question in a colorful and floral tea garden and sliding that ring on her finger and i remember the humble beginnings and i certainly look forward to the extravagant grand finale of our journey on earth! This is exactly how the story will end because our marriage is based on the original design of marriage from God. [Life time guarantee]
Just this morning I was looking at the marriage and divorce statistics in many countries and I am not pleased to say that it seems like in the next twenty years, marriage may actually be a foreign thing in modern society. The divorce rates are increasing as from the 90’s and many people are not even expectant of being married anymore. The childhood dreams every girl had of walking down the isle with Prince charming have slowly faded and been replaced by the Independent woman who could never be bothered about settling down to be loved but is highly successful in the boardroom. This is not to say at all that woman should never have careers but research always reveals that most successful career women admit in their moment of vulnerability to replacing loneliness with the ambition and drive they have in careers and achievements.
Generally the loss of popularity for marriage is blamed on what “THEY” say about marriage. Nobody wants to check the manual of why marriage was created and what is its design of purpose. What makes it works and what makes it fall. This micro wave generation we are in checks Google’s answer to marriage and not God- who actually gave marriage to people as a precious gift. Man was made for woman and woman for man and when the two get together according to the original design and love each other earnestly, the result is tonnes of joy and pleasurable memories. This is not a fairy tale of gimmick, marriage does work! it is just your ordinary relationship but with commitment and purpose but with the same joys and adventures as before!
However, they say marriage is a prison but they do not realize that it is because two imprisoned people have married each other. They say marriage slows down but they do not know that two are a better team than one. They say it is hard to not cheat on your spouse but they did get the revelation that a country with no fences and boundaries cannot keep the enemy at bay. They also say that marriage gets boring over the years but they fail to see that it is their slowly dying creativity and enthusiasm that causes this illusion. They say marriage lacks variety but they do not tell us why they are stuck to one life one body and seem to not notice the difference. They say children are a drag even though they were once children themselves, they have embraced divorce and yet they wonder why they carry emotional baggages of selfishness, unforgiveness, anger and depression.
The “House of they” keeps unleashing theories about marriage being done the wrong way and producing bad fruits and nobody is checking the manual to even see if the formulas being used are correct. Divorced Psychologists are offering marriage advice to many couples- awkward-!. I do not know if it is just me but no matter how learned society gets they keep getting dumber and dumberer! Marriage done God’s way works all the time and like I said, it has been a land of milk and honey for my wife and I. When the nation of Israel came to settle in their promised land, the miracle food of the desert stopped and they were now supposed to plant, nurture and harvest crops for food and trading. The guarantee was the they will have bumper harvests- milk and honey was an expression of their destined lifestyles. this was to be the same with marriages to, milk and honey kind of marriages!
Many young and older people need to stop listening to the “House of they” and listen more to God’s manual of marriage. Milk and honey does not mean no work at all, like a farmer there is planting time, working time then harvest time. Love is not just a feeling but a decision. Athletes have chosen to love what they do, so even when times get tough they keep practicing, thinking about the Olympic gold medal and yet society thinks marriage will be any different. Many Hollywood couples will divorce over the loss of love or ‘irreconcilable differences’ when it is all just a lack of commitment and persistence. The feeling of love comes and goes but the decision to love must remain.
You can get married and do it according to the original manual and you are guaranteed a fruitful experience filled with seasons of hard work and seasons of harvesting. I chose the God kind of marriage and I feel like i only started living when I got married. if you are divorced, this may also help you to heal in case you want to settle down again. Love always works and never fails,
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. Love will never end. Love is a tool that will help you design the heaven kind of marriage!
