Why Marriage?
Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person, with all my heart,
my soul,
my mind,
my body …
Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me, who won’t hold them against me, who loves me when I’m unlikable, who sees the small child in me,
and looks for the divine potential of me …
Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night
with someone who thanks God for me, with someone I feel blessed to hold …
Because marriage means opportunity to grow in love
in friendship …
Because marriage is a discipline
to be added to a list of achievements …
Because marriages do not fail, people fail.
