Getting Married

This week we talked about getting married. We talked about the reasons why people get married and some of the challenges that come with planning a wedding and then problems that come after the wedding. Having planned a wedding myself, I know that it can be a stressful time and many of the problems that we talked about that can occur while planning a wedding were things that happened for us. But the chapter made getting married sound like something that was pointless because most couples will just break up in the end. I felt like this was a rather negative view and opinion of marriage. Marriage isn't easy and it does take some hard work from both parties, but that doesn't mean that it is impossible. I am so happy to be married to a great man and although I know I won't always have a five course dinner on the table and he won't always come home with a boquet of fresh flowers, but I know that I want to be with him for eternity. It may take work, but it is so worth it. Satan is working hard to undermine the family and one of his attacks is stopping the family before it even starts. If he can make people think that gettting married isn't worth it, he can have that much more power over the family.
