Many people also spend four to eight years, and a lot of money, commitment, and intense study preparing for a career, which, in the end, they may or may not pursue. This type of commitment is readily embraced as the accepted means to a better life.
Because you're wise, and you know that you will benefit by it.
Because you are seeking to honor God in your marriage relationship.
Because
you know that your feelings of love are great, but they are not the foundation.
Because it will induce frank, deep discussion between
you by asking thought-provoking question which you might never think to ask.
It will help you better understand each other and greatly
aid your bonding experience.
Because it can open your eyes to issues you might have about yourself or your mate, and it will provide
a safe, trustworthy platform to explore and address such issues.
Can you see the potential if people put that kind of commitment into preparing for marriage--a covenant vow to God they are to keep for life? Wouldn't this produce the better life they desire?
