Marriage, does not always equal love...

Zanda I give you this.

Why do couples marry?
They marry to have the grand wedding of all time.
They marry because everyone else is doing it.
They marry for security.
Society prefers married couples to procreate over single women bearing children who they look down and frown upon.
(interesting...wake up! more than 50% of these very same women will one day be single mom's or more often now single dad's are stepping into the role as the feminine role takes hold upon our planet in both men and women.) *Delusional thinking here to think a piece of paper will keep a family as a unit.
Combined income means a bigger house, better cars, more materialism, more taxes paid into the govenment! WOW...the wonder of the world I know it as the American way!
It makes the family happy to celebrate!
Marry for love you say...the Prince and the Princess, oh I still hold on to this fairy tale dream, yet it has never found one such as me. I have tried time and again.
Marry for company, don't want to be loney, sick and afraid.
Marry for convenience.
Marry for socialization and status, go from one social class to another in a the blink of an eye or the signing of a marriage document.
Marry to possess and to grasp and to own and to claim another, to ensure sexual relations, to make claim.
Marry to honor and cherish...what did this ever mean?
Rarely do we ever see marry until death do us part even written in marriage vows these days, I used to be a wedding cordinator too... they are taking it out of lots of ceremonies. Why you ask...because it is known most marriages won't last.
Marry and find jealousy, unrealistic expectations, one partner now desiring to change another, yet they still claim love...is this what Zanda's is referring too? Sickening it seems. Nothing could be farther from true love.

What did I leave out...please add to my list...

One day the idea of marriage will end. The need for that piece of paper for security to get insurance benefits, death benefits and a joint mortgage will be gone. Lawyers wake up your job description is changing! This new generation has had enough of the kind of love of their parents and granparents. Churches be warned a new shift in consciousness is awakening!

More to follow...

Love and Light,
