I have no clue where everyone else is coming from with their ideas on marriage but since I am a CHristian, I believe in what the bible says about it:
" the two shall become one."
Some people see that as a 'put down' becuase that means you are losing your own identity. I would beg to differ. Coming together with my spouse has helped me find a piece of me I never knew existed. His love has made me so secure and helped me accept a lot of things about myself that I saw as "flawed."
There is much to be said about unconditional love. Few people know what that really is. But I KNOW that if I were in a car wreck tomorrow, my face was burned off, my legs and arms were amputated, that this man would still love me completely and be with me until the day I died.There is such a security in knowing that.
In the past 3 months, I have walked through the most difficult journey of depression/anxiety of my life.
There were nights that becuase of the anxiety/depression I could not sleep. Not one hour. My husband REFUSED to leave me alone downstairs. This man sat up ALL through the night, right by my side, holding me, letting me cry in his arms, and praying for me.
Not once did he say, " well I'm tired now, off to bed I go." He looked me in the eye one night and said, " I will stay down in this pit with you as long as I have to. YOu will not be here alone!"
I have never known a love like that (other than God's love).
Don't give up on finding that kind of love. Ask God for it- I prayed faithfully for one year for a wonderful man. I even wrote down specifics in my prayer journal of what I was asking God for.
God delivered EVERY single of the things I sought Him for and even more.
Don't give up!
