Marriage today and how it conflicts with the world and the church.

The world views marriage as a throw away. It says shack up. It’s alright, when In reality we all know living together before marriage is a sin. However half of the world are living together.   God’s law says to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth It not, to him It Is a sin. To the world Gods law no longer matters.  The world says do whatever you wan.t It’s alright. God don’t care. When In reality he cares about evrything you do and say, It matters to him. It seems as if the whole world has gone astray. I am not saying everyone views marriage In this way. It Is a concern to me. Since I am a married christian woman, values and God’s law matter to me. Maybe, it’s because people view God’s law as a wall between them and living a joy filled life. But isn’t God our father? Doesn’t he love us? isn’t he all knowing? Isn’t his creation for us more beautiful than anything any person has ever concocted. If this is true, then why don’t we believe that he is trying to give us his best. It’s just like in the garden of Eden. Adam and Eve had access to all the fruit of the garden and the devil got them focused on the one tree that they couldn’t eat from. After they ate from it they lost all the beauty that they once had lived so freely in. The enemy doesn’t want you to have more pleasure.  Adam and Eve lived with much pain and frustration after disobeying God. Just like so many that live together with out the covenant of marriage. I believe that the number is now 80% of people who co-habitate before marriage end up separating. The bible says that there is no fear in love and perfect love casts out fear. The covenant of marriage is there to remove fear. when we vow to our mate and to the lord that we will love each other forever, divorce is not an option, leaving is not an option. But, so many live in fear that their boyfriend or girlfriend will leave them every day of their lives. Is that true happiness? When we live with someone that does not love us enough to commit their whole lives to loving us only, we ask for them to leave or cheat on us. Understand, I am not saying that it’s right or that they should cheat on us because two people live together unmarried. But, I would rather trust somone who tells god and the whole world that I’m their one and only. Love casts out fear. Why fear whether it will work or not when you already said their will be no white flag, no someone else. I will live to meet the needs of my spouse and they will live to meet mine. And no, it will not always be 50-50 but when you and that person decide that there is no way out and the only way to be happy is to make this work, that is when marriage begins to be seen as a true blessing. I want to please my spouse with everything I am and he does the same. He doesn’t look for another to love or please himself with because he has made his decision and I have made mine. Marriage is not only God’s will but my blessing.
