Dynamics of Marriage

The more I contemplate on the dynamics of marriage the more I marvel at its beauty and its intricate design. A refuge and shelter, where there's so much freedom, offers so much privileges and provides ample opportunities for you to be your best. I say dynamics because it requires your active participation, full commitment, your whole creativity and in fact your whole self. It is not for the faint heart.

Two are better than One

     Some say, 'Two is a company, three is a crowd.' But consider this wise thought from the book of Ecclesiastes which says, 'Two are better than one. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.' A new insight to this wise saying through marriage, which they say involves three parties, yes three; bride, groom and God. Even a triangle or a tent is formed having three angles giving shelter and protection inside.

      

True friends

To be a real friend, you need to be one.

         We are made to live together. Perhaps we derive our very identity and existence from others. Indeed, no man can make this life's journey alone. How privilege are those who have real, true friends around them. Hard times are the real test for true friendship. I admire what Elbert Hubbard, early American writer and Philosopher, said, 'My father always used to say that when you die if you've got five real friends you've had a great life.'
