Far too much emphasis in this society of ours dominated by pop culture, is put on the wedding day, rather than what the wedding day is: the start of marriage.Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364142024795616333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689546162945514236.post-55172741019717898682012-02-10T03:02:04.928-05:002012-02-10T03:02:04.928-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364142024795616333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689546162945514236.post-7250812151100130432012-02-09T07:12:43.613-05:002012-02-09T07:12:43.613-05:00The only way to find out if love will last a lifet...The only way to find out if love will last a lifetime, is to live together a lifetime. Me & my husband met when we was 18 & 19. Now we are 39+40 and last year we got married. I see the marriage as a deal. Its a safety for the other part if one of us dies. Thats what it is to me. In our wedding it was only us & our 3 children. It was very good.Hanna von Zweigbergknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689546162945514236.post-63637354683453846052011-12-28T12:00:55.155-05:002011-12-28T12:00:55.155-05:00Hi.

Also, it seemed fortuitous that we both live in Kentucky. Anyway, I just wanted to share what my great-grandfather, who was a preacher, used to say: if a marriage ceremony isn't first performed in your heart, then what I say won't matter. I always remembered that and this past year, my husband and I were married in our local courthouse. Our friends and family were disappointed and people still ask why we didn't have a wedding. They're shocked when I tell them I didn't want one. I find most weddings superficial and my husband and I agreed that netiher of us needed one to prove our commitment to one another. Anyway, thank you for providing some validation for my thoughts and beliefs about marriage. It's always nice to know someone shares your opinion. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689546162945514236.post-22415832905375810472011-12-14T13:01:43.350-05:002011-12-14T13:01:43.350-05:00The world does not see marriage as a lifelong comm...The world does not see marriage as a lifelong commitment. It's only a party to be had, and not a promise to be kept. Thanks for sharing. Connie<br />http://bringingallthingsunderchrist.blogspot.com/Constance V.
