Point 3: When everything is so easily accessible... why get married?
In the old days, marriage wasn't an option. Marriage was special, well I guess sometimes it was forced, but it held a sacred place in society. Now the divorce rate is like 50%. That means that half of the couples who get married, won't even get to grow old with each other... Isn't that sad?

Now I know that times have changed. I means, women used to ONLY wear dresses, at least now we have sweats, but why has the sacred act of marriage changed?

I think a lot of it has to do with relationships in our society. In the secular world, every wonderful thing that you get to experience inside a marriage, you can easily participate in outside of marriage. Its like when you played house as a little kid... today you can live with a significant other, maybe test the waters, see if your compatible AND you don't have to risk a divorce! GEE what a deal... but ya see, this isn't how our Creator pictured it.  And He is kinda the coolest thing ever, so lets break down what He says about marriage...

First off, He thinks its pretty sweet. I mean He made Adam, and He was like: Yeah, this is good! Then He realized that Adam would get lonely so He created Eve. And guess what She was good too! So you now have these 2 human beings, who are both fantastic, and they are made for one another, just like God intended. He says in Genesis two that male and female are going to grow up, and leave mom and dad's house and they are going to become one person, one family, one relationship that God designed (this was totally paraphrased by me, but you can check out the real thing if you don't trust me). Marriage is God designed.

Next, God tells us, humans, that what He brings together, Let No One Separate. Its a command. And one that is so easily broken today. When God creates a relationship, He wants it to last. He made a perfect society, and sin broke that. Divorce and separation was not a part of His plan. It breaks my heart that it is so easy to end a marriage now. It wasn't how God designed it.

Marriage is so important to me. It's not because I'm desperate, or because I think I can't make it on my own, but its so exciting to think that for the rest of my life, I get to share everything with one person. I get someone who will be a constant friend, a father to my children, and most importantly, I get to serve God beside someone who is just as crazy about HIM as I am. I think that marriage is the greatest gift that God could have given us.

I wish that marriage wasn't just a piece of paper that could easily be torn up, marriage is sacred and wonderful. I wish that every couple could truly understand what a gift it is.
