Marriage is nothing more than a contract!

With all the talk about gay marriages,              same sex marriages, civil unions ect... We need to ask ourselves... What are we really thinking or objecting to? The fact that two people can agree to be together and share their lives. Handle their bills together, their expenses, plan their futures, share their beliefs, their dreams, Make  financial commitments to each other, contributing to one household, take care of each other when sick and healthy or making a decision on how to handle their estate in death...
All of the above sound like an agreement , a contract, verbal or written it's all the same thing. Manny marriages fail these days because we don't understant what "I do" relly means "I'm commit to you... I swear, so help me God" Ok, thou shall not SWEAR......in God's name! Really?  How often do we break that  commandment. And how many other commandment do we break in our so call committed relationships (so call marriage, where we used lip service before our family and friends) ? For better for worse, in sickness and in health, OK maybe Fiancials should be part of the vows... You should vow to stick with each other no matter who loose his or her job.... take care of each other and share the one plate of food you can now afford. It's not what's yours is our and what's mine is mine.. If you make a commitment to honor and respect, treat fairly and stick it out until the end, then do just that.
Look at any piture of a crowned gathering and see if you can find your ideal partner for life in the crowd. Isn't this what we face when we are looking for that perfect person?
So you think of it as a long term contract to a commitment you are willing to make not just a marriage of perfet times.

Committed relationships aren’t easy. But couple who endure to have happy, healthy, long-term relationships have one thing in common, they…. are friends first and become best friends over a course of time. Isn't this  the way it should be?


Here are a few love quotes that can work  in any Loving relationship (just close your eyes and think about LOVE not benefits:

1. Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. 

2. Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

3. Two lives, two hearts joined together in friendship united forever in love.

4. To the world you are one person, but to one person you are the World.

5. Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.

6. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

7. Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.

8. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop. 

9. Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says For the woman I love and the second, For my best friend. 

10. As we grow older together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you.

We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. 

So if you are straight or not you can picture the person in your mind you would have no problem saying these things to that person. I know I do.
