    Purpose of marriage IMO, is to make a couple monogamous. Oh and get a tax write off in the US. All in all, especially in the USA, it's just a legal binding agreement (just cause you get married by a religion, unless it's documented legally, you're not married) to protect the "lesser" person in the marriage in most cases in case of separation or divorce.
    Although now, laws are falling under common law marriage in many cases.

    I think that most people these days are missing the whole point of marriage!

    Marriage is about sharing your life with that one person who fulfills that missing piece of your heart, one that has promised to stand by you through all of life's challenges, turmoils and pain, one who will share with you the everyday joys in life and make life fun! One that you can count on to lift you up every day and hold you when you need to be comforted. One who you can experience so much with and know that he or she will always be there and will hand in hand grow old with you. One who will never Judge you, but will encourage and support! One who makes you feel beautiful no matter how bad you look! One to sometimes have children together with and help teach and raise them to be Amazing Humans and assets to this world! One who will be there to wake up next to every morning and someone to always kiss you goodnight. One who has made a PROMISE to do all the above, witnessed by God and others...
    A BEAUTIFUL Gift from God as all the above is exactly what God is for us and he gives us our Soulmate to do the same...not to replace, but to extend that amazing Love and Grace!

    Bonus... One to share unimaginable intimacy with that cannot be compared with because Loving someone and feeling that Real Love in return makes for the most intense passion one could ever imagine and experience together! 😉🔥🔥💓

    Don't allow the fear of a failed marriage or relationship rob you of the ultimate gift of Love and Marriage.
    It is a heartbreaking experience to divorce and to feel the pain of your heart breaking in a million pieces . These experiences are sometimes necessary and teach and prepare us for that "Right" person! Finding that person may not be today or tomorrow, but I promise... One day that person whom you never imagined or expected will one day come into your life!
    I was like you, so discouraged and absolutely against even having another serious relationship for fear of more heartbreak and disappointment, and had frankly decided that I'd lIve out the rest of my life alone. Then one day a beautiful Soul was dropped into my life (I have no doubt a gift from God) and my life was changed forever! No matter how hard I fought it, we were destined to be together and for the first time in my fifty something years on this planet I finally learned what REAL Love felt like and all those years we had shared in my previous marriage, although sometimes felt like Love or what I thought was Love was nothing in comparison to the intense feelings I have now!
    I will always keep the Father of my children in my heart because we did share a life and raised four amazing humans together, however ...I am so happy that I finally had the guts to get out and learn to care for and love myself by removing myself from what was a very unhappy and unfulfilling life.
    Finding myself and learning to Love me then prepared me for Finally at last finding the Love of my Life... And I cannot have not one regret, because all of life's experiences, good and bad has brought me to where I am today. ☺️💞

    BTW ... Our wedding theme and Wedding song: "AT LAST"! 😍

    Love & Marriage can be a good thing in one's life!
    Love one another, learn to Love yourself and don't let your fears cause you to miss out on one of God's ultimate Gifts!
    Just think ..that gift might already be there, right in front of you, but your fears and stubbornness may be preventing you from seeing them! 😉🥰

    I find relationships/marriage scary. Once you get out of 1 it's kinda hard to take that risk again. And why.

    Although I will say it's a bit more daunting when something is falling apart in the home
