Marriage is having someone to curl up against when the world seems cold & life uncertain. It is having someone who is as concerned as you are when the children are sick. It is having a hand that keeps checking your forehead for fever when you're not well. To be married is to have someone's shoulder to cry on as they lower your parent's body into the ground. It is wrapping wrinkled knees in warm blankets & giggling without teeth!!Lol
To the person you marry, you are saying,"When my time comes to leave this world, and the chilly wind of eternity blows away my birthdays, and my future stands cold & dark in the night, it's your face i want to kiss good-bye. It is your hand i want to squeeze as i slip from time into eternity.
As the curtain closes on all i have attempted to do and be, I want to look into your eyes and see that I mattered. Now what i looked like. Not what i did or how much money I made. Not how talented i was, I want to look into the teary eyes of someone who loves me and see - I mattered!"
If you are looking for someone to be your everything, don't look around, look up! God is the only One who can be everything, By excepting perfection from the flesh, you ask more out of someone else than you are able to provide yourself. To be married is to have a partner- someone who can look up with you.
