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
About Me
- Jill Clair
- I really like discussing what people think about God. I really like when people are honest in those discussions.
I like to read and write; I came to school sold out on being a veterinarian, but I hated not having any writing in my curriculum, so now I'm thinking Journalism or editing... something with words.
I like experiencing other cultures... music, food, dancing, geography, traditions, languages... whatever... just give me something other than hot dogs and football.
I find eccentric people to be the most fun and interesting people to be around. I don't know how to handle normal folks.
I sound a lot more witty and intelligent when I write... speaking isn't my forte because I tend to ramble a lot!
I like good quotes, like this one:
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright day-break of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
These verses are exactly why I desire to get married. I think you and I have talked about this before.
