Marriage

[~Nikki~]

1 and still am - first marriage for both of us. We have just celebrated our second anniversary.

Again not ready to get married yet
Nor at all!

Congratulations to all those who're celebrating good, strong marriages! I'm always impressed by that.

To others like me who've never been married & keeping pure, that's great, too. It's a lot of work to remain chaste in this world that's becoming more & more blatantly licentious.

For those who've returned to purity, congratulations! That's a great decision. By purity I mean either chastity or faithfulness in marriage. Either way, I understand that it's hard to go back to that. Prayers of strength be with you all!

I hit the wrong vote-sorry. Voted 1 divoriced .
Married now and been through a divorice at 19.

Even though you all mean well
This poll is getting me down
Because I am single!

That's why I'm heading back over to the singles section.

I have only been married once and we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary on June 22nd of this year. I do not know where 10 years went to.

 

[CarolinaMom]

I am currently in my 2nd marriage, 5 and a half years so far. First ended with her given birth to some one else's baby, but thats another thread. I've done a lot better in my selection this time, or should I say I listened to God better this time.

 

[JPPT1974]

Well, marriage maybe for some
And maybe not for some also
But look at it like the Lord is telling us something

 

[ImaginaryVoyager]

Fair 'nuff

 

[JPPT1974]

If we got married and divorced about eight times
We would be like Liz Taylor don't you think!

I find it encouraging, yet a bit bewildering, that people can successfully marry so young these days. It hasn't worked out that way for me. People say I'm funny, friendly, good looking, smart, healthy, use clean language, and apparently I even have a 'bad-boy' edge at times (as I drive Camaros, occasionally listen to loud music etc). I've reserved sexual activity for marriage, and I used to pray constantly about meeting my future wife some day... yet I'm burning up here without ever having had a long-term relationship, let alone a marriage. Apparently God has not allowed me to cross paths with compatible Christian women. Most I've met are on completely different wavelengths. There has been very little seeing eye-to-eye between us, at least in terms of romatic things. Either that or they're far too old, far too young or far too married (in other words, they're not prospects at all, but somewhat encouraging nevertheless). It's nice to hear that some pre-30s marriages still hold together in this day and age... though I'm a bit lost as to how such couplings even happen.

It must be so comforting to have a spouse... someone to share your life and its struggles with. Coming from an intact family with parents who still love each other, and being a romantic at heart, I have always envisioned such a blessing in my life. Those who have a loving spouse to come home to at the end of the day are truly fortunate.

I want to make sure that I marry for the right reason
And that it won't be a mistake
Want my first marriage to be my one and only marriage
If you know what I mean
And that if its in God's will for me!

 

[ImaginaryVoyager]

Thank you all for sharing.

I have never been married and at this stage of my life, probably never will.

Been married once and will celebrate our 13th year the last day of August. I've always told my wife that if anything ever happend to her, I'd never get married again. That's my plan, but God's ways are not our ways.
