Marriage Revisited

If you went to church yesterday, you heard about God creating Eve to be a companion for Adam, and he loved her at first sight. It wasn't said that way, but I'm using my own explanation to bring it up to our time. I imagine he could have said, "Wow, you are beautiful." In my opinion that was the first marriage, and he loved her very much.

My thoughts about past marriages, reminds me of my parent"s marriage which lasted almost 70 years. My father died 6 weeks before the date of their wedding. My own wedding. which many of you know, lasted 63 years, because Dorothy died on that exact date. I loved her very much, but Jesus asked for her to come with Him.

When you talk about marriage, you have to talk and understand what love is all about. Love is kind and gentle. Love is patient and warm and cuddling, Love is peaceful and quiet and tender. Love is not rough and gruff or loud and boisterous or violent. Love is peaceful and peace loving. I"m going into detail because, I feel this type of love is being lost in the youth of today. It is my opinion that this type of love is the normal prelude for a great and long lasting marriage,

There is a lot of sadness to many people when there is an abusive marriage. It usually ends up with violence, and even the police are fearful of domestic violence cases. Even their own lives are in danger.Very often the people are irrational and almost impossible to deal with.

So I hope and pray that I would be able to encourage all the young people contemplating marriage to see if true love is there. This sexual love that is so prevalent out there is dangerous and is not love. Sexual intercourse is intended for having babies in a marriage. Then there is happiness all around.
