Marriage Is a Choice

Marriage is a choice, but not like any other choice. You don’t marry just any love. Instead, you first find love and then you are capable of making the right couple. The experience of real love for a person doesn’t necessarily mean he or she is the one for you. The experience of real love doesn’t connect us to our soul. With this connection, we are then able to know what our soul wants to do. Choosing a soul mate isn’t a mental decision based on the pros and cons of relationship. It’s not an emotional decision based on comparing how a person makes you feel. It’s not physical decision based on how a person looks. It’s much deeper. When our soul wants to marry our partner, it feels like a promise that we came into this world to keep, it feels as if we are supposed to be together and share our lives.
When our soul wants to get married, it feels as we have no choice. We have to do it if we are to be true to ourselves. It’s this kind of commitment that can sustain a lifetime of love. It empowers us to make the necessary sacrifices and overcome the inevitable challenges that come with marriage. It graces us with the experience of incomparable joy and fulfillment. Many people mistakenly love with the right person for marriage because it’s only when our hearts are open, and filled with love, that we can truly know someone and know the truth in our hearts. We can pick the right person only when our hearts are open, but it also true that we can know for sure that a person is wrong only if our hearts are open as well.
