Marriages

There is a spiritual objective to marriage that many may not realise.

• Marriage forces us to change because of the love of the other.

We will change for the better, for each other as a family unit.  Good and bad things happen around the world, but we really do not feel it because it is so far away.  However, when an event is so far away, one must change or both must change to, keep peace because we love each other.

Think about it, we do not change if we are not involved. We know something is bad, but we can just keep moving away from the event; we do not have to learn to change ourselves to accommodate the event. When we are married to someone that we have to meet each other on a daily basis, we will force ourselves to change to keep peace and stay in love.

Some people do not want to change their ways; they remain single, even when they get old, and they would rather remain single.  I have a friend who asks his son, “Are you sure you want to get married? Are you sure”?

What he was actually asking him, knowing his son, who is strong-willed in his way, “Are you sure you are ready to change”?

You either change or there be divorce.

You will change when you love the other enough; you will remain the same.
