Why am I getting married?

A lot of people get married for different reasons; love, financial security, emotional security and the list goes on. For some, they do not even have the slightest idea why they want to be married...They are of age, some people will convince again.

Personally, I think marriage are two people using their strengths as one, serving the Lord with everything they have and in every area of their lives. In their businesses, home, raising kids, career etc.

They should work as one unit with unified mind and heart. That's why and how "2 people become one". Two are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. Ecclesiastics 4:9-12 NLT

So why would you want to be married and yet live in isolation? You choose the things to tell your spouse and the ones not to tell them. Who else should know your visions, your joys and your pains.

We devise every means to make up with friends we deem important when we err them (even sometimes when they err us) and you are willing to give your spouse the silent treatment for as long as it lasts. Rearrange your priorities, men lead where you need to and women follow where you need to.

If you are not ready to share your life with another person you may consider waiting for a little more while and ask God for more wisdom and direction.

And seriously if you haven't found your place in God and what exactly He needs you to do (at least the first steps), that's a good starting point in planning to get married.
