Op, i read all your comments on the other thread so i decided to check your profile and viola!

I know marriage is a good thing and everyone is encouraged to get married because of these great points you've listed, but i also want you to know that marriage isn't for everyone. You are a Christian so can relate to this. check 1 Corinthians 7: 1 - end especially 7 which says...

"Sometimes I wish everyone were single like me—a simpler life in many ways! But celibacy is not for everyone any more than marriage is. God gives the gift of the single life to some, the gift of the married life to others."

Now, this verse is not encourage baby mamas, but God's gift to some. If you have that gift to be single, you are to use it in serve to God ie Paul. It's not an opportunity to have a child outside wedlock or an avenue to sleep around. St Paul was able to do exploits for God because he was single, he sees marriage as been complex so he chose a simpler life.

Don't get me wrong dear, i totally get your point. You are on the right track, but i just want you to create room for the celibates.

it baffles me when some people say marriage is not important in ones life am here to tell you guys today that marriage is very important


if you are married, you may have discovered why marriage is so important and experienced some of the good that comes from it. Or, maybe marriage was hard for some of you and you’re no longer married. However, there is hope. But that hope starts with realizing that marriage can be more amazing than you have experienced or even thought.

Marriage can be amazing as well as very hard sometimes Marriage eliminates loneliness and both partners can work as team you will agree even the holy book say one will chase a thousand but two will chase ten thousand

God has created marriage to reveal more about Him and how awesome He is. And this is revealed through many of His purposes for marriage.

Here are 5 reasons that explain the importance of marriage:

1. Beginning
Marriage is the beginning—the beginning of the family—and is a life-long commitment [Tweet This]. It also provides an opportunity to grow in selflessness as you serve your wife and children. Marriage is more than a physical union; it is also a spiritual and emotional union. This union mirrors the one between God and His Church.

2. Oneness
When a man and woman get married, the “two become one.” Marriage is a bond like no other. It gives us a life partner, a teammate, as we move through the challenges of life together.

3. Purity
Marriage is designed for purity. We are under assault by temptation nearly every minute and from many directions. The bond of marriage gives us the support to defeat that temptation by engaging in deep, satisfying love—a love that gives to, and receives from, our mate physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

4. Parenting
When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father. The effects of that fact are staggering. Father absence causes increases in mental and behavioral disorders as well as criminal activity and substance abuse. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of strong family.

5. Love
Marriage is designed to mirror our Creator’s unconditional love for us. It’s a love that will always be there and will never leave us or forsake us. When a man and woman love one another with that unconditional love, contentment follows and joy abounds.

Good points listed. I'm not married yet.
It will be a wonderful life experience.
Are you married?

MaQuin:
Thank God you got my point I also got your point too but it saddens my heart so hear people say marriage is not important

dasparrow:


Why should it sadden your heart? Not everyone desires to have sex. Should they force themselves to get married all the same and live a life of misery? What of those who genuinely do not desire children? Would you prefer they have kids anyway to appease society and behind closed doors be abusive towards them? What about the mentally ill? Should they get married too? What of people with trust issues, should they get married too? What of those that were raped as children and are psycologically messed up for life, they have been to counselling but its not helping. The mental damage is already done. Should they get married too?

My point is, the only way we can raise healthy families is to allow people decide if they indeed want a spouse. Once you force people into something they really don't want, they won't give it their best shot. Allow people decide if they want it or not so we don't have a society filled with bitter married couples and children who grow up afraid of marriage because of what they witnessed in their parents' marriages.

Other than that, I have no problem with your opinion. Marriage is beautiful if done right and for the right reasons WITHOUT force and undue pressure from society, family members and loved ones.

Shalom! Peace!I hear you sir
