I went to a wedding this past week, so of course I got to thinking about love and marriage and all of that jazz.

I think these verses are an excellent description of what marriage should be like. Many marriages seem to lack encouragement and partnership; husbands don't lift up their wives; wives don't lift up their husbands. I want my future marriage to be a real-life picture of these verses.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
