The value of marriage

         
   
I see marriages falling apart on TV, I read about marriages torn in half in magazines and I hear about seemingly rock solid couples crumbling before my eyes and although I am not married and I don't know what goes into a marriage it seems to me that no one really values it anymore. 
I believe that nothing should come before your marriage, not work, money, socialising, distance, or petty disagreements. Nothing! 
if i was married and I knew things were heading in the wrong direction and I knew the cause, I'd do anything in my power to change it, fix or stop it from happening because I believe marriage should be what we live, breathe and die for, your partner should be your priority, marriage is sacred and sometimes we need to put in a little more effort, work a little harder and find a positive even when things are so dire and be willing to work at it.
Marriage is more valuable than money, marriage is more valuable than fame. Marriage is more valuable than travel. Marriage is more valuable than disagreements and arguments and it's so easy just to give up and walk away when really we need to stay and carry on and value it.

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you. 

Dreams of a life

                 I watched a film tonight called Dreams of a Life about a 38 year old woman in London who lay dead in her flat and went unnoticed for 3 years. S he was a woman who isolated herself, who was very private and lacked trust in people. She was liked and loved by a lot of people but didn't have many if any friends. She seemed shy and reserved and didn't talk much. She had lost touch with people that cared about her and then found dead, alone in her flat for 3 years with the TV still on and no one came to check she was alright.   I'm not saying this could happen to me but in a way I feel like we are pretty similar in personality and although our lives are so different we could be the same.  I can relate  to her, her isolation,  her shyness,  her lack of friends, how she was a private person I can relate to it all.  I' m a nervous person; especially when it comes to talking. I am not a talker, I am an ob...
