Why Love Is Not A Good Reason For Marriage
By Christopher Hall
Why should a person get married? I mean, what are the proper reasons for marrying a particular person? Many people today believe that if you love someone, then it is OK to marry them. That is just not true. Here is why. Emotions are not to rule over us. We are to rule over our emotions. So many times a boy or girl comes to me and says “I’m in love with this person. I want to marry them.” Because they are in love, they think they have a right to get married. Love is not grounds for marriage. If love is the grounds for marriage, then the lack of love is grounds for divorce. If the only reason someone gets married is because of love, when that “feeling” of love starts to disappear, then that person concludes they should divorce. I would not advise anybody to marry someone they aren’t in love with. Love is the emotion that helps cement the decision to marry. It is the emotional tingle and the emotional bond that makes marriage so much fun. But it is better to break off a relationship now even while you are in love than to get married to the wrong person. It would be better to go through a few months of heart-ache now than years of heart-ache later. That is why it is so important to not allow yourself to love the wrong person to begin with. I learned this lesson the hard way when I was a teenager. There was a girl that I loved. I really enjoyed being around the girl and thought that we would be great together. But it turns out, for various reasons, that she was not the one for me. I allowed myself to bond with this girl and become emotionally involved before I knew her. It was tough when we went our separate ways. It was hard. I loved her, and even though she wasn’t the one I was supposed to marry, it still hurt. But I am very thankful that I did not marry her just because I loved her. I believe that the relationship would have ended badly, and I would have endured much more heart-ache later on down the road. |
