What Do I Believe About Friendships and Marriage?

I've been thinking about the topics on FRIENDSHIPS and MARRIAGE. What are FRIENDSHIPS? What is a MARRIAGE? What do I have to say about FRIENDSHIPS and MARRIAGE?

What Do I Believe About FRIENDSHIPS?
Who can be called a friend? A person who is friendly. An acquaintances or a person who you just met. There are close friendships, Distant friendships and the list goes on .

Friends find common ground. They have like interest. Everyone can had at least one thing in common. We share the same planet Earth. What about we all are human beings. That's a start in making friends.

We have to speak the same language. How can we understand what we are saying to one another. Friends see the best in us. They make us feel good about ourselves. Friends should be there to help us out at times.

We should over step our FRIENDSHIP. We shouldn't use things to control FRIENDSHIPS. For example a friend shouldn't keep giving and not receiving from friends.

FRIENDSHIP is a two was interaction. There is communication involved. There will be some miss understandings from time to time. But friends should forgive one another.

FRIENDSHIPS lead into more than FRIENDSHIPS. With connect with MARRIAGE. I'm not married or never have been. So I'm not an expert on the MARRIAGE department. But I have some beliefs about the matter.

What Do I Believe About MARRIAGE?
Marriage is the covenant union between  a male man and a female woman. I had to clarify that in the time and age that we live in. A MARRIAGE is a couple that includes a MAN and a WOMAN coming together as one.

The man and woman should be of age or have the consent of their parent to marry if under age. (Who can marry who? There is not such thing as a mix MARRIAGE. Humans marry Humans, color shouldn't be a factor.)

A MARRIAGE is legal when these party come together in the witness of people,before a minister of the Gospel or Judge. I don't believe in common law marriages. A MARRIAGE has a document. That is a license certified at the court house.

Once a couple are in a MARRIAGE that their life. They are in covenant with one another. There are boundaries in a MARRIAGE.

Only one MARRIAGE at one time to one living person at a time. I don't believe in sister wives where at least 2 to 5 women so called married to one man as their husband.

MARRIAGE and FRIENDSHIP go together. The couple are friends for life. They are in covenant with one another. Honor one another Cherish one another, and so forth..Till death do you part kinda MARRIAGE. I hope that in a MARRIAGE the living God is part of their life too.

As a Christian I see MARRIAGE sacred in the eyes of God. There are benefits for people who are married. The MARRIAGE is a RELATIONSHIP with has other issue of LIFE.

I can't say much about the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIPS because I haven't experience it. I'm single. But I believe in our LIFE time we can choose to married. Our HUMAN NATURE at times, think that we need to find that mate and get married.

Once we find the mate, we develop FRIENDSHIPS that breaks down to that special someone in our lives. When that comes the couple WORK at their FRIENDSHIPS. The subject of MARRIAGE comes up.

Well, that's another topic. MARRIAGE and FRIENDSHIPS are important. The two go together with other things in life.

May we WORK on our FRIENDSHIPS with those around us. May our HUMAN NATURE not get in the way of our FRIENDSHIPS to cause disorder. May we see that we don't have to win friends with our MONEY.

May those we are in a MARRIAGE have good RELATIONSHIPS. May those who are in the PARENTING stages in life have the wisdom to discipline their children. May those who are in a MARRIAGE bring HAPPINESS into their RELATIONSHIPS. AMEN!


I hope that  those who are in a MARRIAGE have a belief in a RELIGION that there is a living God. May God be the focal point of their lives.
