Do You Value Holy Matrimony?


One of the headlines on www.hotmail.com says "Is Marriage a smart money move?". Another says "Warning, Annoyances Ahead: Is Moving in together a relationship killer?", and wait... One more!!! "Advice: Rushing into love after divorce".
These headlines obviously aren't promoting marriage as a healthy lifelong vow, rather a choice based on monetary gain and/or fleshly desires - possibly just a "glitch" in one's dating life. The statements made, bother me - really, because marriage is something I take very seriously, and my kids are exposed to comments such as these. They may seem harmless, but by referring to marriage as something people do out of convenience or a stage of life that deserves no real attention drives me up the wall! I feel that there are four important stages in life: you live, you marry, you parent, and you die. Regarding any of these "seasons" as unimportant, a choice of convenience, or a consequence of fleshly recklessness is not only foolish, but could be construed as straight blasphemy.
