Live a shared Life
Marriage is the most comprehensive form of shared life that
a human being can ever experience. But unfortunately many couples end up living
independent parallel lives even though they still claim to be married. They
don’t have a common vision for their family, their finances belong to each of
them and not both of them, they don’t endeavor to spend time together and plan
together. They don’t operate as a unit. It’s about mine and yours not ours.
Why do we get married? If we want to continue living our
independent lives, then why get married? It was God who saw it not good for man
to be alone. And so He made him a helpmate suitable for him. He made him and
gave him someone to share his life with. Now note that He didn’t give him
another man, but a woman. It doesn’t matter what the US Supreme Court judgment
allowing for same sex marriage says, that was not God’s plan. His plan was for
a man to leave his father and mother and to become one with his wife.
The sole purpose of marriage is companionship. Being a
friend not just a lover or a roommate, or even "baba nani" or "mama nani". Living
a shared life means not just having a common vision, but doing life together.
Playing and praying together, having activities together, enjoying each others
company. Living with the other in mind, thinking about them, what makes them
happy what makes them sad? Sharing your thoughts, your fears, your dreams and expectations is how we live a shared life.
