Marriage is not for you

I recently came across this article floating around the internet which was titled Marriage is not for you. It was about a young man who was contemplating becoming engaged and married to his long time sweetheart; he was unsure it was the right thing to do, if she was the right one for him. His father gave him some sage advice stating a marriage is not for you, It is for the kids you bring into the world, for the joining of two families. Who do you want to share that with? Who do you want to be there to care for your children and to share the responsibilities and struggles of life with? He realized then that he wanted it to be with her that he wanted to be a part of her family and that his family wanted her to be a part of theirs. In any relationship it is ok to think of our own needs but we have to remember it is more about wanting to make that other person happy and feel loved. The more you give the more you will ultimately receive, especially if you build your relationship on a foundation of love and trust fostering security for you both to feel safe in giving your love to each other completely without question. Remember to give the love that you want to get in return.
