LESSONS ON MARRIAGE FOR SINGLES
THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE!
Marriage starts with the wedding but the wedding ceremony is just the beginning. Sharing your life and personal space including your secrets and emotions with another individual is a daunting task. For many, it has been a difficult journey.
These articles are written based on scriptural principles, to help individuals looking forward to married life, who want their marriage to work, and who are willing to work at it. Marriage works because we are human and were made for the marriage union. It fails when we only look after ourselves and for what we can gain from others without consideration for our partners or the common good. Marriage is not an escape route from home nor is it a way to get rid of loneliness.
Society influences our outlook; when society fails in upholding certain virtues necessary for a successful marriage, it affects the family and it becomes a perpetual cycle. Healing for society comes from creating marriage unions that work. When the family is healthy, the community is healthy.
