Marriage Can be a Mirage
by "You really can’t find love until you find yourself."
Many people act as if they believe marriage is the chief end of life, the final solution to loneliness, unhappiness, and boredom. But Christians believe that to be complete in Christ is the chief end of life. Happiness and joy are by-products of that relationship.
Many people marry only to find it doesn’t live up to their expectations. Married people face some of the same problems single people do: loneliness, sexual temptation, lack of sexual fulfillment. Marriages can be cannibalistic if two people destroy each other by expecting the other to satisfy his or her needs, dreams, and desires.
It is more important for you to be the right kind of person than it is to find the right kind of person. What steps are you taking to grow to be the person you want to be?
You really can’t find love until you find yourself. If you struggle to fulfill your romantic ideal in marriage, you may miss what life is all about. First experience God’s love and complete acceptance. Develop your love relationship with other brothers and sisters in Christ. Grow and develop in Christ. Realize that all Christians do not have to be married to be joyful. Reexamine your expectations of marriage. Then relax, and let love come to you.

Interesting insights my friend. Sometimes your partner helps you find yourself. That is how they end up marrying (the better half) Good article.

I am a great believer in .
That one is not if the truth be known able to give totally of them self until they know and care about them self first.
To be strong in the beginning builds very strong solid foundations.
I think your write was so beneficial in the fact that one does so need to be what you want to be FIRST.
