Is marraige a good idea?
Friday, September 5, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I was thinking about getting married... although I am not serious with anyone
But is it a good idea? I like it... or the idea of it anyway. It just seems so peaceful and all that one-ness.
After reading this artical I am not to sure:

I'm so gullable.

I've been looking to settle down for some time now and I'm starting to feel rushed. I think at 27 it's about time I guess.

1Now about the questions you asked in your letter. Yes, it is good to live a celibate life. 2But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
7I wish everyone could get along without marrying, just as I do. But we are not all the same. God gives some the gift of marriage, and to others he gives the gift of singleness.
8Now I say to those who aren't married and to widows--it's better to stay unmarried, just as I am. 9But if they can't control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It's better to marry than to burn with lust.26Because of the present crisis, I think it is best to remain just as you are. 27If you have a wife, do not end the marriage. If you do not have a wife, do not get married. 28But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, I am trying to spare you the extra problems that come with marriage.
29Now let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short, so husbands should not let marriage be their major concern. 30Happiness or sadness or wealth should not keep anyone from doing God's work. 31Those in frequent contact with the things of the world should make good use of them without becoming attached to them, for this world and all it contains will pass away. 32In everything you do, I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord's work and thinking how to please him. 33But a married man can't do that so well. He has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. 34His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be more devoted to the Lord in body and in spirit, while the married woman must be concerned about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.
35I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible. 36But if a man thinks he ought to marry his fiancee because he has trouble controlling his passions and time is passing, it is all right; it is not a sin. Let them marry. 37But if he has decided firmly not to marry and there is no urgency and he can control his passion, he does well not to marry. 38So the person who marries does well, and the person who doesn't marry does even better.

I have to get in on this . I'm thinking about gettin married in about 2-3years. I've been with my fiancee for almost 4years. We have a son. But we have to wait till we both are done with college before anything can happen. But here is a pic of us not too long after our son was born. That was about 2 1/2 years ago.
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/1217782/
Plus after that article, I really wonder where mine would end up. But I got something that alot of other marriages don't have even before I would get married. Knowledge on the subject. If you get married and don't know what it will require, you will definally probably end up seperating. Alot of people just rush into marriage. I've seen alot of my friends either wanting or getting married after they graduated from high school. I just think that's too soon.
I'll return to add more later.

My marriage was both "good" and "bad". Bad, because it turned out that my ex-wife needed more than one man. Good, because when she left and moved out of state she left me with two of the most wonderful boys you could ask for. I was blessed with the opportunity to raise them alone. I wouldn't change a thing! I've considered it one of the most fullfilling things I've ever done. I can't even think about it being any different. However, I probably would have felt the same way if she would have been a good wife and mother. I think the moral here is that marriage and life both bring to you the things you look for in them. If you look for only the bad, you will find it. If you look for good, you will find it. If you take what comes and find the positive, you will find that too! Although the marriage was bad, what came from it was wonderful.

I'd love to be married, especially if it's one of those spontaneous marriages like on Dharma and Greg.
