Question

Why are we getting married?

Answer

A simple but important question: WHY should someone commit their entire life to one other person when we are evidently fickle people (hint: divorce rates have never been 0%)? You see, if marriage is only a human tradition, then commitment inevitably becomes conditional! When a relationship isn't making you happy anymore, or ceases to be mutually beneficial, or when your partner's former beauty wrinkles away, why SHOULDN'T it be easily abandoned? Why NOT move onto bigger and better things? Think about it! Yet... we all earnestly desire, in our heart of hearts, unconditional love and commitment. But where do they come from? God – the author of commitment – initiated commitment to an uncommitted people. He loved us not because we are so loveable (think of all your sufferings because of yourself or another!), but because of His mercy upon unfaithful people, and His great love to save sinners like you and I from death – which he promises to do if you ask for the forgiveness of your sins and trust solely on Him to be your Saviour! "𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑓 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝐺𝑜𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑆𝑜𝑛, 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒, 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑑, 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑤𝑒 𝑏𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒" (Romans 5: 10)

Question

So finally...

Answer

Marriage is a beautiful covenant between man and woman, created by God as an image of the love He has for His children. Therefore, we're excited to be married not merely as an emotional response to a long-standing cultural norm, but so that when Christine patiently withholds her judgment as Jason stops too close to the car in front (again) and when Jason lays down his time and energy to assist a weary Christine, we experience a glimpse of God's infinite, selfless commitment and sacrificial love towards us, all through this precious blessing called, "marriage"! We hope that whether you are married or single, that you will first and foremost know the author of true love by finding forgiveness of your sins through His mercy.
