Marriage Part 1

Ok so, I’m going to break this into many parts, I don’t know how many it will be but it would be to big and long. So I will say again this is what I think, not what it must be. I am not saying this is how it needs to be, this is how I want mine to be, and it’s how I see it working best through my studies in the bible.

Ok I want to start by what I’ve gone through was a son, and what I’ve noticed in my mom and dad’s Marriages.  For starters you should know that my parents are divorced, and have been seine I was three. My dad lives in Illinois and I live with my mom in Michigan, so it’s like a six hour drive to see my dad.  Now my mom got remarried soon after as well as my dad. Mom is still with him, but dad got divorced again, and remarried again. So I have had two step moms a step dad and then my mom and dad. I along with to many youth in the world had to see marriages fail. I have seen them start and end and all the bad throughout the whole thing.  I know thing that don’t work in marriage, I know the wrong way to start one, and for that matter the things that can rip them apart.

Ok so I want to start at the beginning and then go though as far as I can. So the first thing is when to get married. Now I personally want to get married young like before or during college (that is if I can find Her by then). Now I know that that is contrary to our society today, but most of my thinking is. Now I do have a reason for wanting to be married young, so I ask you to consider what I say, you don’t have to agree with it but please try to understand where I’m coming from.

Ok so we all know that God has made someone that completes then. (I will talk as if it’s my “wife” so I’ll be using hers and not him or her) I know that somewhere out there is the girl that God made just for me, to complete me and for me to complete. The problem is I don’t know if I’ve found her yet, I might know her, but God has not yet told me who she is (I’m starting to get inpatient). Of cores there are girls I have thought might be “Her” but I still don’t know for sure. Now the reason I think it better to get married young is because, I’m not finished yet. Ok the way I look at it is, that God has made us perfectly, but in two pieces, and I can’t be “perfect” until I find “Her”. I think that you can’t really know what or where God wants you to be until you are “perfect”. So its best to be “perfect” or complete when your finding out where or what you will be going with your life. You can’t fine or get to your really potential until you’ve been made complete.  So find that the best way to prepare for my life is to do it interlay with my wife. If I am “perfect” when I, in collage then I’ll know more what I will and will not be able to do. For instance I am good at putting thing in a different form to help people understand it better. I am not good at math, reading, spelling, and computers, but my wife will make it up. The bible says that when you get married you become one flesh, when God made Adam He knew that he wasn’t finished, so He made Eve to complete him. Now it is a finished project. Now there is nothing that between the two of them that they can not do, they have become perfect.

Now we are going to say that I have found “Her” so what now. Well I think that its vital that you do the entire prose’s in a Godly fation and with help. So I strongly think that premarital counseling with a Christian consoler is very beneficial. Ok now it is of vital importance to not stay all googly eyed over my wife to be (once I’ve found her) I need to stay open eyed and keep in mind that if I don’t, It could mead I can’t do what God put me here to do, but it don’t stop there, now my wife, the girl I’m mint to be with, and the person she’s with, and its just keeps going, will not be able to completely fulfill what God made us to do. Now don’t get me wrong I still believe I will be able to do good work for Him, But not to the same existent.

Hmm...

I think that it may be right for YOU to be married before or during college. But I don't think so for me. I haven't found that special someone. Perhaps I won't. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep an open mind.

I'm simply doing what I feel is right and what God has called me to do. I have a passion for writing and I'm going to keep that up. I don't feel as if I require that significant other quite yet. Perhaps that mindset will change for me later in life.

I believe we're all different and God has set different paths ahead of each of us.

As for the marriage thing... don't go too fast. I know for a fact you don't want to wind up in the same thing your mom and dad have gotten themselves into. You've seen the toll that divorce takes the children of the family. And its definitly an unnecessary toll.

Be patient my friend. Keep seeking God's guidance in this matter and he will show you the way. Simply remain faithful :)

hey, brett thanks for praying and for the offer. I have seen a cello in a band lol...anyhoo I like your post.I think it is not meant for everyone, and you need to really know your self first. I think alot of people get married young cause they are lonely and I think that is never a good idea, but if u are meant to get married young it's great!I know u want to get married before u start a ministrie, but what are going to do when your getting married (finically) can u support her?
I dont know when I will get married but I don't think girls should focus on it cause that may lead them to just jump into a married whenever they can, and that can lead to divorces

trhanks you the input. i know that geting married young my not be for everyone but part of that comes from how we live today. geting maried later is a very new thing like 20 years or so. and if you talk to anypeople who have benn maried for 20 or 30+ years they will tel you they were mared when they were like 16.
i talked to this very nice lady the other day, she is 87, and her and her husband had been maried for 69 years and they were dateing for three years befor that. they have been together for 72 years....that is amazing.
i'll go in to more detals in part two.

u are right that is how it is nowadays, but u can't live like u are in a diffrent generation. The guys now a days have alot of negitave influence as far as women are conserned with tv and all, also with the way the world is in the church there is not that high of a chance that u will find a noble man to marry.My grandparents have been married for fiftyone years and they got married young. I am not saying that it does'nt work but it is very risk,and takes alot of nowing each other my grandparent knew each other from the time she was like fourteen and the got married at like 18 so.. they also lived in a diffrent generation.so... I also know a couple who got married young and now she is having a baby an he can't find a job and the are living with thier parents, so I think it depends on they scenrio and person.( they are our generation) please tell me what u think of what i said

ok i do see where your coming from, my mom and dad were 17 and 18 when they got maried, but they did not go about things with God. i would say that the vast modrority of young mariages now will probily end in a divoris, but thats not becouse they are young its becouse they not seeking God within there marisge. my sister is 19 and she is geting maried in three months, but i dont think it will last, and was raised the same way i was. i do agree with everyone who thinks that marieing young is not right for everyone, but i only think that becouse most young people now stay Chilid like untill there in there mid 20s. i vary firmly belive that for those of us who seek God in what we do and know that we have to grow up, (and do grow up "early") will if we get maried young be beter off then, not only others or age who get maried young but also better off then those who try to stay young forever.
and as to me not being able to live in the old days your right, but i can live my life with the same morrals and valuse they had. just becouse our world is geting more and more immitcher dont not meen that we need to ar have to follow. this is a way to shine our light into the world. things were better then so i will live my life as close as i can to that, with keeping the family tigether, have goals, liveing my live to my best abillity with the gifts and talents God gave me.
we know what works and we know whats doesnt so why dont we try to do what wee know worked for those in the past.

uhhhh. I tried to write this like twice and it got deleted so sorry. Are generation is very young this is definitely why marriages are failing. It just seems to be a fact. I am coming from a perspective where I see going to college or just maturing a little longer seems approprite , honestly I really think most men are pretty unreliable nowadays well anyone is, people change or can become diffrent u see cases like this 24/7 they become abuses or have affairs in these cases u would need to leave them. marriage is such a commitment and is already so stessful without that(most young couples can't handle it as it is ) what is a young lady supposed to do when she is young has no life excperince ,degree, or career training and little kids. I just think better "safe then sorry"
why can't you help each other while waiting to get married?
I just think seeing my peers that we can really think it a fantasy, until we are actually there I am just trying to be reasonable.
I don't think anything is wrong with it and I am sure it is a calling for alot of girls but I just don't think I can be that unprepared.
god bless,

again i, understand what your saying. but i am going to disogree, to a piont. you can not compare a Godly person or people to the unGodly people of this curuped world. we all know what happens to mariges when there prosued without God. THEY FAIL. nomater hoe long one my wait untill geting maried. i would compleatly agree that those who leave God out of the picter (chosing the one, and staying as one) will not work well if it works at all. when we seek to find our lot in live though God, i very firmly belive that geting maried young is more benifish. you will go though life with them, witch is how God made us

Every marriage YOU have seen that was "Godless" has failed.

I've seen some that you would consider "Godless" that have worked pretty well.

But I also suppose that depends on what one considers "Godly" and "Godless"...

Just my opinion.

Okay, but even without comparing, the world is in the church so alot of people can be just as bad, and I think maybe i have just seen to many people get married in the church and fail and women get stuck with horrifing husbands. I guess I am not that sure of getting married young but that is my problem not yours. I hope that works for u :)

again i see what your saying, but just becouse they are in the church does not mean they're keeping God in the senter, or looking for his gidance. i also have seen mariages within the church that has failed, but every time i did not see them haveing a Godly marige, infact some of the mariages i've seen that i think were the worst were in the church. we need to remember that just becouse someone is "in" the church, does not mean go about makeing choices with eacher and God. i think at times being in the church has hurt mariages, becouse they felt they were close with God befor and they fogot to stay close with him not only personly but as a team. and then they fall apart.
i think i should get part 2 up soon. lol.
God Bless

maybe lol....Thats kinda my point. A godly marriage has got to be 2 ways. and when u are young and in "love" if u are a christian u are going to want it that way. so u get married with no job excperince or anything. your husband changes and he wants to be unfaithful and slap around your kids. This is from a girls perspective and is very diffrent from a guys because in a godly marriage men are the head of the house and a supposed to provide. For girls if u marry a bad guy it really stinks but at least
u can be able to provide if it comes to that if u wait.
