Why Marriage?

Why Marriage?
Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person...
with all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body...

Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,
who won't hold them against me,
who loves me when I'm unlikeable,
who sees the small child in me, and
who looks for the devine potential of me...

Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night,
with someone who thanks God for me,
with someone I feel blessed to hold...

Because marriage means opportunity
to grow in love and in friendship...

Because marriage is a discipline
to be added to a list of achievements...

Because marriages do not fail...people fail
when they enter into marriage
expecting another to make them whole...

Because, knowing this,
I promise to take full responsibility
for my spirtual, mental and physical wholeness...

I create me.
I take half the responsibility for my marriage...
Together, we create our marriage.

Because with this understanding...
The possibilities are endless.
