Getting Married In Todays World

My daughter Rosalina is getting married in May of 2008.She is the youngest girl in my family.I wish her and her future husband James the best life God can give them.I hope amongst all the turmoil life throws at us they can find the peace and tranquility in their marriage to be their strong point.I have been married to Rosa's Father for thirty one years.Our life together has not been an easy life .My husband became ill and has not been able to work for 9 years.A lot of the burden has been on me for years.We raised 6 children and now have 12 Grandchildren.Nothing ever came easy for us but through it all we stuck together and struggled in bad times and celebrated our good times.I thank God for my life with my husband and family.

This day and age people don't value the commitment of working at a marriage.It is made to easy for people just to walk out and start over.I am not talking about abusive relationships.I am talking about getting bored and tired,trying something new.Just a phase in life.Marriage is not a phase,it is a hard decision for life.It is a lot of work on both parts.

If couples would respect each other as human beings with intelligence and work together to build their lives together instead of trying to control each other a marriage would have a better chance of surviving.

Always remember why you wanted to marry each other in the first place.

Don't use each other as sounding boards when you hurt.You feel bad and you destroy the one you love without even realizing it.

ENJOY your time together.LIFE IS SHORT and you never know when it is over.
