A Witness to Your Life

A Witness to Your Life
When seeking a marriage partner, remember a husband or wife is not just some pretty face that you get to admire or possess, or show off to your
friends. This person is not a check book, a status symbol, a servant, or a household maid. This is not someone that you’ll see for afew minutes each
day after work, and take to dinner parties. You could marry someone only for looks or status then find yourself
miserable, harped on, arguing every day, lonely within your marriage, or abused. All you rich and attractive people don't take offense – you might be perfectly lovely and sweet – I'm
just saying that appearance, wealth and lineage are no guarantee of happiness, and ifyou focus on those factors to the exclusion of the soul, then you will likely find yourself
mismatched, brokenhearted and forlorn.
A spouse is someone you abide with for the rest of your life, even when you are wrinkledand bent. Someone to hold you when you’re sad, to support you when you’re tired, to coolyour forehead when you’re sick,
to share in your joys, tell jokes and play frisbee with; someone to pray with in the stillmorning hours, and struggle with to achieve Paradise. This is someone to be a witness to your life, to know you intimately and recognize your worth as a human being (not that we need someone else to affirm our value – but it’s
always nice to be recognized and
seen). Someone to love you
unceasingly, like a great river, even when you disagree. Someone to see your faults, and keep on loving you.
Make sure your priorities are in
order. Look past the surface. Connect with theperson’s soul. Find someone who will make you smile, and with whom you will be happy to share this
strange journey we call life.
