The Art of Marriage


Photo - Brilliant by Tropical Imaging

A good marriage must be created. 

In marriage the little things are the big things. 

It is never being too old to hold hands. 

It is remembering to say, “I love you”

at least once each day. 

It is never going to sleep angry. 

It is not taking the other for granted; the courtship should

not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through

all the years

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. 

It is standing-together facing the world. 

It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. 

It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or

sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude

in thoughtful ways.

It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have

wings of an angel.

It is not looking for perfection in each other. 

It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding, and a

sense of humor. 

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. 

It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. 

It is finding room for the things of the spirit. 

It is a common search for the good and beautiful. 

It is establishing a relationship in which the independence

is equal, dependence is mutual, and the obligation is reciprocal. 

It is not only marrying the right person –

It is being the right partner!

WHY MARRIAGE

Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,

with all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body…

Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me…

Who won’t hold them against me,

Who loves me when I’m unlikable,

Who sees the small child in me, and

Who looks for the divine potential of me…

Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night

With someone who thanks God for me,

With someone I feel blessed to hold…

Because marriage means opportunity to grow in love in friendship…

Because marriage is a discipline

To be added to a list of achievements…

Because marriages do not fail, people fail

When they enter into marriage expecting another to make them whole...

Because, knowing this,

I promise myself to take full responsibility

For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness,

I create me,

I take half of the responsibility for my marriage,

Together we create our marriage…

Because with this understanding

The possibilities are limitless.
