Marriage Is Not All About Money


THE FIRST TIME THEY MEET

Consider the first time when man and wife first met. They were both strangers into each others eye. Men are dangerous as women are often be the prey. But when men started to have attraction among women or the one he liked, he used to change a bit of his dangerous attitude. That is to convinced her that he was good enough for her. However, there are men who are good, honest, responsible and God-fearing which are glorious in the eyes of women. These are the men sought by many women to be bonded eternally.

But obviously, women are changing their habits, usually prefer men with a bad boy image, hunks, good looking etc.. And men do likewise. I guess some would not agree with me.

THE DATE

Dating is where all started. They first go on a date, trying to get to know each other. At this stage, both have the time to get to know each other. Weighing down their undecided feeling between opposite sex. Finding more time for companionship. Looking for some opportunities to get closer together, developing an intimate feelings. 

MARRIAGE - LIFE AND MISERY

Then they go for mutual understanding and went into an engagement. But some are unlucky enough to find the right person in life, into eternity. Both of them did go rushing, turning days into an hour and a year into day without thoroughly understanding what it would take entering into marriage.

Hold on! Take a deep breath and ponder upon your thoughts and feelings. Don't rush and think slowly for marriage is the beginning of life and misery. It could be as sweet at first when you have it but following a day or two, a never ending misery when problems arises. 

Marriage is a reflection of both personalities. Our attitudes and individual characteristic likely affect our way of living and so many has to be aware. Men and women who are simple enough do live together. And I admire those who lived simply and happy without arguing about money. Of course, there will disagreement but largely, men who are quite and understanding are the most person who handles the situation. Women who comprehends life understands marriage unlike others who thinks only about money. But men should know how to earn money and should be responsible enough for his own family. Nowadays, men and women alike cares more about money that's why some said "no money no honey". Marriage should not deal more about money. Indeed, marriage ended up because of money matters.

We love because we care. We marry because we need to raise a family of our own. We enter marriage because we both have the same feelings. We are responsible for each other. We should end up in eternity.

It's Really Hard to Find Honest People

Certainly! We are growing in numbers, as the sand of the sea. People are continually living in the world, multiplying and spreading across every continent and down to every islands. Looking for the things they wanted in life, every thing common, being lead by their famous ambitions to be on top of the world. Some are contented with what they have in life but many aren't. Some lived in simplicity yet some are filled with luxurious living. And I guess many do forget to be honest for themselves, for their companion, their family and every people around them, day by day. 

Is to be honest is foolishness? For me, honesty is what brings people to light and understanding. Honesty as commonly said, "is the best policy". Honesty is to be true to yourself, to God and every people you meet whether it be someone you know or a stranger. If all men were honest, then there is nothing to be afraid of. Nothing to worry about and all is well. People will have so much peace and happiness living harmoniously in this earth given to us by our Creator and God. No one will ever think evil against their fellow being. 

But why is that there are dishonest men? That is the big question. When men are dishonest, they will lead them to a more evil natures.

I'm really touched by a story I read from yahoo, concerning Robert Adams. Adams found a plastic bag in a situation where after his work he decided to take an ice-cold drink. He wanted to something to eat but he doesn't have enough money. The bag contained half full of money which includes receipts and checks but he returned it to the right owner not thinking (maybe) a single thought to take the money with him. And what really touched me is the words he said, "it's not my money. I shouldn't take it. I don't care if you put zero on there, I wasn't raised to take money that isn't mine." He credited his parents for teaching him the right and wrong.

Someone had testified of his goodness. The owner of Senor Taco Restaurant, Onesimo Santillan said that he was not surprised of this old time customer he had. He said, "He has been coming for years, always orders the same thing, very nice guy." And further he said, "It's hard to find people like that, honest people."

This story along with those I've heard and read concerning honesty is worthy of emulation. It's really good to have someone who is honest and a true human being. I know we are looking for this kind of person but I guess is very rare.
