WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF GETTING MARRIED?
Do you know that most people fear getting married? I know it sounds funny right? But this is true. We are now in a time where most couples prefer to live together than take the plunge. Maybe that’s you, or perhaps its someone you know? If you think about it, I mean really think about it, you will realise that this fear is real. And the reason? We fear that for us, marriage will not work, we fear it will end in divorce, we fear losing who we are, what we are and have to become someone else. So rather than dreaming, praying or working towards the joys of marriage that God has offered, we lower our standards and live with a substandard version of the original. But then wonder why we are not satisfied and happy in this relationship.
The truth is everyone actually wants to be married and in addition to finding love what most of us really want is to be in a secure and stable relationship. However the bible tells us the only place created for this to happen successfully is in marriage. But then again this is the very thing we have been conditioned to be afraid of.
The question is where has the fear come from? It has come from seeing other peoples relationships fail whether married or not. It comes from seeing loved up and love struck celebrities get it so wrong. We have seen marriages fail amongst our loved ones, watched parents be unhappy and unfulfilled in their marriages. So its no wonder we too are afraid. Were not just afraid of marriage we are actually afraid of being unhappily married.
And then of course there is our past experiences. Most of us have been in relationships that have ended and have dated people who have been a bad investment and as result we have lost out. When we then move on and start a new relationships most of us bring with us all the mistakes of our past into that which is ordained by God. But beloved I tell you in the beginning it was not so.
Marriage was created by God and is His idea. In fact God blessed it and called it good. Therefore Marriage does work.
