....” it hardly seems worth it to get married”....
Oh but it is when you meet someone who sees marriage in the way that you do. There’s a lot of people today who don’t understand what commitment is to anything let alone within a marriage.
All who have been married know that that commitment also means to the marriage itself....not just the to the person. Because...there will be times the commitment to the marriage will carry both over the rough spots.
Find someone who “believes” in marriage itself. Who wants to be married with the ups and downs and will work with the one they love when things get rocky.
That's the key - commitment through thick or thin. Love means self-sacrifice and the desire to please the other, not seeking one's own desires.
Thank you for that encouraging reply!
