Get out of jail free card

I tried to sit down last night and write some of the things that have been going on in my life, adventures if you will, but nothing came to mind. Today I was in psychology, a class that I have struggled to understand simply because a lot of the therapies and such are not Bible but self based. We were talking about stress and how to identify and cope with the stress we face. My prof asked the class “Who has more stress? Single, Married, or divorced people?” Easily enough most of us answered correct with people who are divorced, some said married. Then she moved on to who was next, now this is where it clicked that we as a society are so messed up with our view of marriage. Everyone in the class said that there was more stress on the married people than single. Now I know everyone does not think that marriage is bad, obviously, people get married all the time, but it really concerned me that all these people would say that being married was at the top of the list. In my opinion today’s society has made it where divorce is such an easy “get out of jail free card”. For some reason I couldn’t stop thinking about it today. I am apparently not married, but I cannot wait to be walked down the aisle by my daddy and be given away to some man of God. A man that God has spent years upon years preparing my heart for, and his for me. The act of marriage is so beautiful and shouldn’t be taken lightly. I am not one to plan out my wedding in advance, I mean I can’t wait, but I don’t know the colors and I have no clue what I want my dress to look like. I think I’m waiting to have that excitement when the time comes, but I absolutely think and pray for the man that God has for me. When I say I do, it will be FOREVER. (sorry future husband…. You can’t get rid of me) I know that there will be tough times , my parents can tell you that about me, but I know that if we have our eyes fixed on the One above, nothing can break us apart. Well that is my view on the case… now I guess he just needs to find me.
