It's About Togetherness

Looking back on it, I've always felt that marriage was more than just a piece of paper. Maybe it's the government's way of keeping track of every human being in the country for some sort of census but either way, I don't need that sheet of paper. I don't need to have the big, fluffy white dress and white rose bouquet of flowers. I don't need to be under an alter or even standing before a 'preacher' to get married. Marriage to me is simply Togetherness and keeping that togetherness despite what outsiders will try to block or interfere with your life.

Isn't marriage about togetherness and making that solomn vow or promise to the one you love? From the very moment you get together and make it official to become a couple, companionship and marriage is about togetherness. It's about being together, supporting one another, making sacrifices, being loyal, being trustworthy, allowing feelings to get involved and letting those feelings evolve,developing a mutual respect and admiration for one another, keeping it mutually honest, knowing and studying your partner, sending out what you hope to receive, remaining loyal to get the best out of what you have together, keeping a great deal of trust to keep the wheel going and leaving nothing to chance, and working together by working out what you think would work out best for the two people involved. If you don't agree, that's fine but this is what I've learned in the past five years from being with my soul mate. Marriage is more than a piece of paper.
