The Promises of Marriage                                   by Bettie Meeks

Marriage is a promise of companionship, of having someone to share all of life's experiences.

Marriage does not promise that there will not be any rough times, just the assurance that there will always be someone who cares and will help you through to better times.

Marriage does not promise eternal romance, just eternal love and commitment.

Marriage can't prevent disappointments, disillusionment or grief, but it can offer hope, acceptance, and comfort.

Marriage can't protect you from making individual choices or shelter you from the world, but it will help to reassure you that there is someone by your side who truly cares.

When the world hurts you and makes you feel vulnerable, marriage offers the promise that there will be someone waiting to listen, to console, to inspire.

Marriage is the joining of two people who share the promise that only marriage can make...to share the sunshine and the shadows, and to experience a richer, more fulfilling life because of it.
