I despise the idea of having to biy a diamond. I despise the idea of getting screwed over by prenups or in court. I despise the idea that i will have to carry the burdens of an entire family monetarily most likely. Yet i cant hate marriage. I know it is a good thing. I want to understand how you can be so happy about it. How the married people here are so happy. I just see so many ways it could eat me alive.

**I lost my first engagement ring, and Y'hoshua, out of the goodness of his heart, bought me a new one, which is a diamond. I did not ask for it, though, and fully expected to just have a wedding band. We did eventually find my aquamarine, though, so now I have two.

**Also keep in mind that sentimental love is a feeling and, like all feelings, waxes and wanes. Some days you just don't feel ~*~sooo in love~*~ with your spouse, but if you realize that is a feeling that ebbs and flows, you shouldn't have anxiety about it. There is so much more awesome to marriage than butterflies or w/e.

Originally posted by Apologiaphoenix View PostI agree with all she said. Allie's stone isn't a diamond. We also didn't sign a pre-nup. Never touched one of those things. Divorce is not an option. We're two committed Christians until death do us part.

When one of my friends from my High School days got engaged she mentioned in an off-handed sort of way that if it didn't work out she could always get divorced. Given that attitude I was not the least bit surprised that the marriage didn't even make it a full year.
If you go into a marriage already thinking about divorce it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy in many ways

Here's what you do, sweet pea.
Stop thinking about marriage. Keep working on getting a place of your own, finishing school, finding a job or career that will satisfy you, seek God's will for your life first of all.
When it's time to actually think about marriage, you will be grounded in all these things. A woman, a ring, and the rest will fall into place and you will be ready for it then.
And your whole outlook will change. I know this.

Mossy is right. Enjoy your life as it is right now. No really enjoy it. And in the future, forget everything else. From someone whose actually been married twice, I never did sign a prenup, either time. Marriage is not easy. It is not. Just enjoy what you have right now and the rest will follow sometime down the road when and if you meet the right woman you want to buy a ring for.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

Come September 1 my wife and I will have been married for 54 years. There have been plenty of arguments and problems along the way, but I would not trade the love of my life for anything else. My wife is the greatest gift the Lord has put into my life next to salvation.
You do not need a diamond, that is just something that jewelers have cooked up to squeeze money from you. All you need is love/commitment.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
