vocation? marriage is a vocation?Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Each vocation has it's advantages and drawbacks. Nevertheless, one must live it well. -
of course.. every person will have one. some are called to be married, some are called to be priests or religious..Originally posted by Icemoon:vocation? marriage is a vocation?
the single state can even be considered as one.. -
Some people however view marriage as a vAcation. When they get bored of it they go home to their respective homes. -
Single lah.
Marriage failures lead to divorce lawsuits, matrimonial asset split, maintenance, inlaw and child problems.
Single failures (between 2) just lead to a split. -
but passionate people do stupid things. some commit suicide. when you're married you tend to be less passionate and with a kid in hand, you keep your life to fight the divorce lawsuits.Originally posted by macjoe:Single lah.

Well, its amazing marriage isnt treated as important as it was in the old days. The divorce rate is terrifying. I (the bad in me) go to weddings always itching to ask the couple when their divorce might be.
Some, because of the age of their children, just put divorce out of their mind for the time being. Kinda sad things have to happen this way. -
i prefer single. but then it's always good to b with someone u love.

Is being in love a right reason to be married? or are there other factors that must be present? -

If one sees marriage as the end of life. It is.
If one sees it as the beginning of life. It is.
One's life is a gift, this life encompasses growth.
Men have different stages in life. Marriage is another stage to understand what singles don't.
There are many reasons to get married. But the main issue is growth.
When a couple speak their vows towards one another in the presence of God, it is a binding covenant. Sacred and blessed.
God values marriage because He have a soft spot for it, a special spot in His heart.
Some people sees it as a 'promotion' in life.
As there are more responsibilities.
You know what i'm talking one la.
You can plan to be a single, but did you plan on how to escape when 'she' appears?

' but did you plan on how to escape when 'she' appears? '
no i haven't....for sure it will be a struggle. I am really in a dilemma wheter i'm staying single or not. For now the latter weighs heavier because she is not around.
As my professor says: "i can't live with her....i can't live without her at the same time.' -
no lah, not complaining, just pointing to the fact that if one decides to be unhappy, one can be unhappy regardless of the marital status, and vice versa.Originally posted by Icemoon:wah .. someone is complaining
my home life is no different from any married couples, there are good days there are bad, but it suffices to say the good always outweigh the bad.

What? Someone's giving you bad news??? Slap him for me please....
I think MC's given a very very good write up about marriage.
For me even after all these years, my wife and I have odd idiosyncrisis that we cannot bear about each others: me with my details and the analysis, and she with her slow pace of life.
Having said that, we share similar interest in our hobbies, our love of music and movies, and food, our manner of disciplining our boys....
The trick is to look for common grounds and ignore (and accept) the differences.
Enter courtship with open eyes. If the differences (in opinions, lifestyle, philosophy) is so great that it will become issues later on in life, the courtship is no longer worthy of pursuing. If the differences are minor (and acceptable) work on the common grounds and strengthen these pillars (no matter how mundane these seem to be).

hmm, if she appears, why bother to escape? you sound young, so perhaps just live life as it is. You never know, you never know..... -

Here is a very practical reason - [legal] sex.Originally posted by Ironside:I'm very much single and available. With all the things i heard about marriage iin the experience of others think i'm planning to be single for life.

so being in love is not enuff .. cos you cant do it .. so you need to be married to do it. sex, according to even Dan Brown, is the highest level of human enjoyment?
According to Maslow, it is at the bottom of the pyramid. so very important right? -

Attended a number of church weddings and twice as groom's best man.
At times when you consider why God loves His church(OT or NT) so much that He promises that even that His people are unfaithful, He will still be faithful for His love is unfailing.
Apostle Paul reminds believers to view the institution of Marriage as like of Christ and His Church - Figuratively speaking.
Why are you in a delimma? Unless you are called to celibate, then it'll be a issue.
If Unker CE guessed it right. You're young(?).then this thought should be normal. Every youths will struggle this thought at one stage or another in their lives..
But of cos, if you decide to dedicate a few years of your life to God, to offer yourself as a vessel then ok la.
If fear of being in a relationship/marriage(if permits) is your concern, i suggest you put your fear away asap.
Personally, being in a relationship teaches alot about God-men.
It's growth, a process in life.
