On June 13, 2013, my sister was married for the very first
time in her life. It was an honor for me
to be a part of this very meaningful celebration for her. Although my sister is older than me, she had never
been married. I was married 15 years ago
so I knew the importance of this special day.
It was truly remarkable to see a couple celebrate their love
and commitment to each other. The
emotion was genuine, pure, caring, sincere and heartfelt. To me marriage is a commitment of two hearts
to love each other forever. No matter
where life takes you, on that particular day you make a decision to love each
other. It doesn’t matter if you end up
divorced, widowed or together; on your wedding day you make a commitment of two
hearts to be together forever.
It was so refreshing to see a couple make that life-long
commitment. In today’s society there are
so many couples that have kids outside of marriage and do the “living together”
thing. We are living in times where just
“living together” is the norm for relationships but, as a woman, marriage it is vitally
important to have that commitment from the man she loves. It gives you a sense of security and
protection to be able to look forward into the future.
I personally got married young and spent all of my 20s married. My marriage lasted for 12 long years. It was a remarkable and amazing experience in
my life. I enjoyed many years of
happiness and many years of discovering what was really important to me. I do not regret my commitment to love someone
because I learned so much from my marriage. To this day, I believe you always remember
that special moment.
Many people think that having a child or living together is
the same level of commitment as being married.
I disagree. Yes they are all
commitments in your life but, marriage is the ultimate commitment. It is the best acknowledgment a woman can
receive from the man she loves; the proposal to love her forever and be the
only one in the world for him. It is fascinating to celebrate weddings because
you are celebrating love.
I wish all newlyweds lots of happiness, patience and understanding. Communication in a relationship is so important.
It takes work from both sides to make
any relationship last. Love one another
and cherish your life together with much appreciation.
