Is a relationship to be? Then, let it be. If it is not to be, well you better end it quickly. However, this post isn't quite about the lackadaisical relationships of "dating"; however, it is more directed at marriage. With the increasing divorce rate (or more or less now days the no marriage rate), there comes into question, "how do you know if this will be". Now, the answer, I believe, is fairly simply. If you make a decision, before God and before men, you need to stay true with it. Why do you say marriage vows if you simply discard them after the first six or so years. Until death due us part is a vow that is broken by over half of the marrying population. I am writing however in ignorance as I am not married/have not been married before. These are my thoughts on the issue now; and I do not care to change my opinion as this is not just my opinion but it is God's will for couples as well.
2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. 3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
Romans 7:2-3
Furthermore, as I increase in my age and I continue to ponder the thought of getting married (and staying married), I begin to see what a very important commitment this someday may be and perhaps the greatest one I will make besides my already committed relationship with the Lord.
