Re: to marry or not to marry
Nester9..
Marriage means you love the other person more than you love yourself. You put away the childish things and seek a maturity, yet you keep the zest and joy of being youthful to share with your partner in life.
I would not have missed a moment of life shared with my husband. I realize there have been times that have been very sad and times I could hardly think I could get through. Yet, I love him unwaveringly and I don't regret overall I chose to share my life with him. Regardless of the high or low times in our shared lives I made a good choice to be with him.
I hope I contribute to his life and he doesn't regret the choice he made with me. I want him to have happiness and will do whatever I can to make that possible on my end. He is kind and adds something I never had... which is the security of knowing that he cares about my welfare so much he would do anything to make it better for me. No one ever did that for me.
What will you do as you age...get a dog for companionship or friends who have their own lives? Where else but with a wife can you know that when you open the door after the day someone is there to greet you and tell you it will get a little better? Who else will listen and give you encouragement and comfort to achieve and be the best you can be? It is worth the pain of disappointment at times...as none of us are perfect, to share life with another to experience the best moments. There are times when it can be so exquisited it is like a walk in the sunshine and all is right with the world.
When you reach the end of this jouney called life, would it not be worth what ever price, to be beside someone who still listens to you and sees you as always young and handsome? When you are truly loved or you love, you do not see the age of the other. It is not relative. That person will love and value you just as you are. Some time you may be given the chance to look into a womans' eyes and you will have recognition instantly that this is the one made for you. How much is that worth? It is worth everything.
I hope you will lose the cynicism and the negative thoughts that blind you from putting yourself forward with the joy of making a great discovery one day. If you believe, you will discover that God has a purpose for you that you can be lucky to find a great love. Why are the stories, the poems, and the pictures painted for the rest of us to admire? They are created by a heart in exultation of finding and living a life truly shared in love. Just as the Sultan who built the Taj Mahal to immortalize his wife, you may some day know what it is to love another in a truly great way. The first thing is we have to be willing in faith to believe that is possible for us.
What is it worth to marry? It is worth any price to find that person and share your life and to sanctify that love in marriage.
