#130 "Marriage" By Susan Pearl

Marriage has been a topic of conversation for quite some time.
Statistics show what the current statis of marriages are presently..
People talk about the current statistics.
I would like to share a few thoughts on marriage.
In my opinion, I was taught to have a successsful marriage at the very start, at the exchanging of vows, there needs to be three things present at that exact moment to begin a successful marriage.
The first thing present is that both participants need to be there of their own free will.  No one should be getting married out of any other reason other than really wanting to be there to and not under any pressure to do so from outside forces.
The second thing that has to be present is truth.  The couple has to be truthful with each other.  There should be no deep dark secrets or hidden current spouses.  The couple stands before each other on their wedding day in truth.
Then the third thing that needs to be present on the wedding day is true sincerity.  That each word of the vows spoken is sincere.  When the person promises to foresake all others the person shoud be sincere and will really do that and live a life of putting their spouse first and foremost.
I think that parents should truly not want to have any control in their childrens marriage and the parents should also be sincere about their intentions and conduct their lives in respect of the marriage.  This thought also applies to friends respecting the marriage.  The couple has to be truly sincere about their love for each other.
In my opinion, if those three things are in place at the moment of the marriage I think the marrriage has things in place for success.
Many times the behavior of one of the spouses shows a lack of one of these thrre things later in the marriage but after closer examination that part was also missing at the actually time of getting married.
Time will tell if the marriage starts out with full sincerity, full truth and with being in the marriage freely and willingly.
