Upon hearing these, I thought... what’s with these people? It’s as if they’re playing with love and marriage. An artist...that’s what they are, but can’t they be more careful in entering marriage? They are just but a few, I know there are still a lot of broken marriages out there which involves showbiz couples. Anyway, that’s their lives and I know I can't do anything about it. I was just wondering why...if I could just tell them my opinion...They shouldn’t be entering a sacred commitment if in the end they’ll break off from it thinking that they have no other choice and it’s the best thing to do. They should have been more careful with their decision in the first place so that they won’t be suffering from the consequences in the end. They should have known the person well and be sure enough to commit their lives to them before making the decision to say “I do”.
I lifted this article from the Christian Resources’ Site
Marriage, It's Forever!
"..For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
Matthew 19: 5-6
This is God's plan for marriage. So simple yet so many take for granted the very covenant that is made with God on the wedding day. The words are said over and over each week as thousands upon thousands stand before God pledging their love to one another.
These words are the words of Jesus:
"Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate"
Marriage is a lifelong commitment and partnership between a man and a woman with exclusive love and fidelity with one another. It is also known as "Troth" which means loyal or pledged faithfulness, fidelity.
Men and women who marry in Christ share a mutual trust. They can be sure of their relationship because it rests on God's covenantal faithfulness.They also know that through His Word of marriage, God brought them together and keeps them together. --James H. Olthuis
When our promise in marriage is grounded with the commitment to Jesus Christ, the quality of life is enhanced beyond measure, as our relationship with God grows deeper and stronger.
The bond between man and woman who stand in front of God with hearts full of assurance that their promise is a lifelong union enjoy these qualities in their life:Unshakeable Trust
Calmness
Respect
Reliability
Devotion
Integrity
Honesty
Faith
Love
Hope
Dignity
Stability
Joy
Peace
Friendship
Standing on a Strong foundation!
As the relationship moves forward and is pleasing to God, blessings abound! Now that's a promise! Even in times of trial the "troth" made between themselves and God will be a constant strong reminder that negative situations need to be resolved quickly. They know in their hearts that to allow conflict would only undermine the sanctity of the marriage vows.
God's Word clearly states that marriage is ordained by God to be a lifelong commitment. So then, why does our society expend so much energy looking for "acceptable" ways of getting out of a marriage covenant that is for life?
We need to see "marriage" in the "truth" that God established BEFORE we say the words pledging our hearts to one another!
We need to teach this to our children beginning today!
And...we need to help those that have drifted away from their promises made to God for their marriage!
Very well said, isn't it? So I believe wether you're Christian or Catholic or whatever, the important thing is we should see marriage as sacred. And it's forever, a lifetime commitment not only to our partners but to God the most.
