It isn't a roll of the dice...Marriage..the selecting of a mate and the living for each other part is hard work. If marriage is approached from more than just the heart one will be successful. Interestingly enough Dr Laura's new book The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands has much to say about how and why a amarriage is successful
It's a good book, too.
Finding women who are interested enough to read it and take Dr. Laura's advice is another matter, however.
All the arguments I've seen, pro and con, about marriage leave out the most important item, in my estimation. Marriage is instituted by God and it is important to Him because it is part of His own image that he has entrusted to mankind.
We humans muck it up at our own peril!
