My Belief of dating, courtship, engagement and marriage

 

                This week’s lessons were us continuing learning about the steps we take towards marriage. Each phase we go through prepares us to enjoy the greatest life choice, I believe we can make. Which is in fact marriage. I can understand why someone would feel the need to postpone marriage.  It’s a big step one that makes the biggest difference in our lives. Looking around us it also seems nothing is ever built to last very long. I mean look the statistics; they say the chances for a divorce is way over fifty percent. They go on to say that most married couples end their marriages at either year two or year five. Why enter into such an arrangement when hardship seems so absolute?  However, divorce doesn’t have to be seen as just a part of life. We can and should expect someone to be with us always as apart of our lives. I believe this can be a reality. We can start to prepare ourselves for marriage at the beginning of dating. Now, don’t get this mixed up. I am talk about being things we want someone else to be trustworthy, dependable, warm, fun, and companionate. That’s what dating is really all about finding and building your character.

                Dating ReeAnne I absolute loved how she was thoughtful, beautiful, and shared similar beliefs. She was my girl and I knew it. let me tell you I still look back and consider myself very lucky, that ReeAnne gave me a chance. It took me twenty times of thinking I was in love until I finally realized I was. I gave up for a while, look for the “it” girl to date. I think that was really opened me up in the way I needed to. Looking back, I realize God had a plan for me. I learned how much; I rely on his help. It was short time from dating my wife to actually Courting her, but it was great! I asked ReeAnne to be my Girlfriend on December 17^th 2018. We started are relationship with 3 weeks of long distance and it was rough being away from someone you were jones for. Once we got a chance to finally be in the proper proximity things couldn’t have gone better! Six months after I courter her I asked her to be my wife. I am not going to lie. Being engaged was tough. It was like being in this strange limbo relationship of courtship and marriage. probably the most stressful time of my life trying to prepare to have ReeAnne for the rest of my life! Well, we obviously got through that time, on December 21^st 2019 we were married. I look forward for her being by my side two years from now, five years from now and shoot throughout my life on through the next life. It’s going to be me and her.

                I made an unbreakable covenant to God that I will be faithful to her. This is what I wanted for me and my life. I desired to have a partner that was just as commit to the relationship has, I was. I am happy that I have so much more than a relationship with my wife. I have a marriage and its good marriage. Sure, we both fall short at times, but we have God in our lives to make any thing that we fight over well again. The greatest blessing there is in this life. Find a spouse to cleave to and allow yourselves to move ever so deeply and lovingly close to one another. There’s nothing quite like a marriage.
