WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEING MARRIED?
Hello Happily Married Blogger Family! Welcome back, I hope this post finds you feeling WONDERFUL, IN LOVE WITH YOUR SPOUSE, AND IN GOOD HEALTH! If you are reading regularly and applying all we have learned to your relationship, then I am positive that ALL IS WELL ON THE HOME FRONT! You've been communicating better, making more time for SEX, respectful towards one another, and growing more in love with each passing day!
Now that we have gotten all the salutations and pleasantries out of the way, let's get down to the real reason why we are all here, shall we? Folks hear us talking all this "I'm so in love" & "I love being married" stuff all the time and with eyes rolling before you can finish your next happily married statement, they are asking..."What's so special about being married anyway?" What is your reply? Are you ready with an answer? I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHARE MY PHILOSOPHY ON THE SUBJECT MATTER ('cause...That's the kind of chick I am) but I want you to be able to defend your choice of loyalty and commitment as well! It's important to be able to articulate what you believe and why you believe it! Public declarations, affirming your level of resolve about your relationship is like laying bricks at the base of a building for a solid foundation! Openly confessing your intentions of staying together is not a set up for ridicule if you fail at marriage but, it's an anchor to hold on to, in good and bad times! Tell everyone you know, how much you love being married! Proclaim it to all who will listen, and if ever you are in doubt, your own words will be a reminder of what's worth fighting for! You will feel your own words (no matter how long ago spoken) doing a great work on your emotions and drawing you back to a happily married state of mind! You ready? Let's build our affirmation statement together! A STATEMENT THAT REMINDS US....WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT MARRIAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
A) WHAT HAPPILY MARRIED PEOPLE BELIEVE:
Happily Married people believe that marriage vows are sacred! Vows are chords that bind a couple together with spiritual rope. Rope made from tears, pain, joy, hope, and (the greatest of all these) LOVE! Vows are not just words spoken during a formal ceremony as tradition. We completely understand that IT IS BETTER NOT TO MAKE A PROMISE-THAN TO MAKE A PROMISE AND NOT KEEP IT! Look them up, write them down, recite them to your spouse annually! Who said renewing your wedding vows had to be done every 10 or 25 years? If you make it a year these days...you are doing something special! Make your wedding vows tangible and accessible! Honoring your marriage vows should be one of many motivations for staying in love and building the best possible life you can together!
B) WHY HAPPILY MARRIED PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEIR UNION:
Happily Married people believe in love because IT SAVED OUR LIVES! Our relationship with our spouses makes us better human beings! When we don't have the strength to be our best for ourselves, the love of a good mate will make you get it together and do AMAZING THINGS! My husband's affection towards me makes me feel worthy of a dynamic relationship! His kiss heals past hurts. His hugs calm my fears. His touch erases all doubts. I am whole because he completes me. Think back to all of the relationships you have had over your lifetime prior to marriage. What did you gain? Was it heartache and misery? Did you walk away from these encounters with low self-esteem or insecurities? By the time your spouse came along did you even have the energy to love again, or did they have to nurse you back to a place of trust and confidence, so you could recognize true love for what it really is? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without your mate? Who would you be, had you not married them? If you are happily married, you are painfully aware of the answer and shudder at the thought! If you cannot say with certainty that your mate is a positive influence on your life or if the love of your spouse doesn't elevate you to a higher state of being.... What really is the reason for being together? Selah* [pause and reflect]
C) LOVE LIVES AS LONG AS WE DO:
Happily Married Couples love each other until death do us part. Til one of us leaves this earth! Til the fat lady sings "ASHES TO ASHES & DUST TO DUST!" Not before & not until, one part of this union leaves this earth, will I ever stop being who I am to my husband! I believe there is no limit to where our love will take us! At 100 years old, I hope to STILL be the apple of his eye! Bone of his bone means NONDETACHABLE! Flesh of his flesh (these are the vows we recited on our wedding day) means I AM PERMANENTLY A PART OF HIM! CAN YOU REMOVE FLESH FROM YOUR OWN BODY WITHOUT SCAR OR DISFIGUREMENT? That's why leaving is not an option.... LOVE URGES YOU [as strong as a threat of ripping away flesh and bone (cruel/crazy as it sounds - you have to get that visual to feel the weight of what I am trying to explain) from your own body] TO STAY!
Living happily married is being able to confess to the world that you LOVE BEING MARRIED, YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOUR MATE (nor, do you want to, for that matter), & YOU PLAN ON LOVING THEM TIL THE DAY YOU DIE! Living happily married is being unashamed to wave the "I'M SPRUNG FOR LIFE" flag of commitment for the whole world to see! What's so special about being married? The answer is different for each couple for many different reasons. YOU CAN BET BIG MONEY THAT Happily Married Couples are the first ones to give you their philosophy on the subject matter (WINK) 'Cause.... that's the kind of rare breed we are! O.K.? O.K.!
