YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE SITUATIONS YOU STATED,BUT I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE TO MANY OF US LOOK AT WHAT A PERSON CAN OFFER US FINANICALLY THAT EMOTIONALLY. IF ALL OF US WOULD HAVE PRAYED FOR MR. OR MRS. RIGHT. WE WOULD BE ALRIGHT, BUT WE MAKE MISTAKES. IF WE DO LOVE THE PERSON WE ARE WITH RIGHT NOW. JUST PRAY THAT PERSON CAN CHANGE FOR THE BETTER .

The naked truth about marriage
September 1st, 2008 at 12:22 am
I will soon have two kids with my partner. We are not yet married in the church but we’ve been together for years 4 years now. I know he loves me and i much more love him. But sometimes petty quarrels puts bounderies between us. Is it okey or right that he calls me a “GF” still when he talks to others? It just hurts so much.. seems he’s still not committed to me inspite the fact that we will be having two babies already.. Why can’t he acknowledge me as his wife? His reason is that because were not yet married in church.. is that really the basis? Can anyone hep me me please? What hurts more is that he calls me GF only when he talks through mail with his girl friend. Confiding about our fights and misunderstandings. Isn’t it unfair?

In marriage we marry a mystery, an other, a counterpart. In a sense the person we marry is a stranger about whom we have a magnificent hunch. The person we choose to marry is someone we love, but his depths, her intimate intricacies – we will come to know only in the long unraveling of time. We know enough about our beloved to know that we love him, to imagine that, as time goes on, we will come to enjoy her even more, become even more of ourselves in her presence. To our knowledge we add our willingness to embark on the journey of getting to know him, of coming to see her, even so wonderfully more.
Swept up by attraction, attention, fantasy, hope, and a certain happy measure of recognition, we agree to come together for the mysterious future, to see where the journey will take us. This companionship on life’s journey is the hallmark of marriage, its natural province, its sweetest and most primal gift.
In promising always, we promise each other time. We promise to exercise our love, to stretch it large enough to embrace the unforeseen realities of the future. We promise to learn to love beyond the level of our instincts and inclinations, to love in foul weather as well as good, In hard times as well as when we are exhilarated by the pleasures of romance.
We change because of these promises. We shape ourselves according to them; we live in their midst and live differently because of them. We feel protected because of them. We try some things and resist trying others because, having promised, we feel secure. Marriage, the bond, makes us free to see, to be, to love. Our souls are protected; our hearts have come home.
