To me, marriage is not a vow of faithfullness, or a document stating that you're now married in the eyes of the law. Marriage is two souls that have merged into one, and marriage consists of vows that are suitable to the relationship. For example, not all people mind an open relationship. Marriage should be the declaration of your terms and conditions and promises for the length of time you spend together, not necessarily meaning eternity. If you fall out of love, then there is no need to continue to be with that person. For instance, when my fiancee and I get married, I will vow faithfullness to him, because I have chosen him to be the only person that shall hold my heart. However, if I so desired, I could ask that our relationship be open, and he would be fine. In other words, I will tell him what it is that I am offering, and what I expect of him. He will do likewise, and if conflict arises, we will compromise. I don't think that marriage has to be done in a church; it should be done in a place that feels like home. For me, that is Nature. Nor do you have to sign a document for marriage to be real. If you feel in your heart and soul that you and your significant other should be together, then that is marriage. I have a poster in my house that reads "Marriage is the joining together of two souls where mutual love, respect, and friendship nutures the growth of two into one." I couldn't agree with that more.

A committed union of love, honesty,passion,understanding and a love for Jesus. After 17 years of marriage, divorce and remarriage to the same person we found that GOD knows what he is doing. We said I DO not I MAYBE and give all glory to GOD and follow the word of JESUS. If we had this kind of passion in our marriage before, we would not have had the need to divorce. I didnt mean to ramble. It's just heart breaking that so many kids suffer because we as parents think we are so in control of our lives and do selfish things that harm everyone around us.

Marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman to love, honor and respect each other through life. Not only in good times but through the bad times as well. It is the commitment to hold onto each other when life threatens to tear you apart. Being in love is great and obviously part of marriage but commitment to each other is the key.

Marriage is a commitment that both man and woman should realize and be ready to be committed to. For better or for worse they are you life partner. Or should be. To be willing to face any obstacle. Never giving up. Always saying sorry and I forgive you. No matter what life throws in your way. There is no reason that that there ever is enough. Love and honor your partner. Always give your all. That's all I can say.

Being married to someone is a life long commitment. Think about it, make sure your with the right person before you do this. I married a great guy but he turned into a controlling piece of sh*t. People change so it's hard to insure you are marring the right person.
