And therein can lie a problem. So many people look at a potential mate and say, "well, God brought them to me to meet, so if we marry it'll all work out" never stopping to really get to know the person. I think many more marriages could be saved if folks would get to know one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also very important to get to know their family..how they act towards each other....and if they truly surrendered their life to God. A marrige should be a three folded cord God-man-wife intertwined so it will be strong that would be hard to break wouldn't it? Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true angel. Not so easy to do....it might be better to get out relationship with Jesus in order first...so that our marriages can stand a chance. Thanks for posting.

And the thing is you have to have both parts working on it!! ) And it can be frustrating by times. Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many more marriages could be saved if folks would get to know one another. My wife and I met when I was stationed in North Carolina and she was in Michigan. We married 6 months after we met. During that 6-months, I only actually saw her on maybe three occasions when I came home on leave. This June we will be married 23 years. Man, do I love her!

I believe its extremely important to learn more from the family you get to deal with after you get married, like how close their family life is and how the parents cared for the children. Your wife/husband will bring that in your life ...look how their parents get along and personalities. Angels THAT WOULD BE CORRECT!! WAS THERE FIGHTING IN THAT HOME????DONT EVER NOT MEET THE PARENTS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
