Marriage Joins Two People In the Circle of It's Love

Marriage s a commitment to life, to the best that two people can find and bring out in each other. It offers opportunities for sharing and growth that no other human relationship can equal, a joining that is promised for a lifetime.

Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships.. A wife and a husband are each other's best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic. There may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing, and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent for a child.

Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller; memories are fresher; commitment is stronger; even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.

Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, and new ways of expressing love through the seasons of life.

When two people pledge to love and care for each other in marriage they create a spirit unique to themselves, which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is promise, a potential, made in the hearts of two people who love, which takes a lifetime to fulfill.

To Love

To love is to share the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, sad days and the glad.
To love is to give agian and agian. To please and to pamper; Such joy it will bring.
To love is to forgive the large and the small. As forgiving then to forget, Instead of recall.
To love is to lose something precious and dear; Yet gracefully give it up without even a tear.
