Recommended: Married couples'strengths and weaknesses

For my marriage project I interviewed my neighbors Pam and Wayne. They were married on August 30, 1980 at The Balcony by Father Burna. They went to St. Lawrence church and completed Pre-Cana for their preparation during their engagement. They have been married now for 37 years and exemplify a good, Catholic marriage. During this interview I could tell that Pam and Wayne exemplify a good, Catholic marriage just by the way they talked about each other and looked at each other. Actually during the interview, Wayne had to walk away because he started tearing up when talking about Pam being the love of his life. Pam and Wayne talked about some things of marriage that I never realized and showed me the true meaning of what marriage is. My neighbors …show more content…

Even though I am not Catholic, I would still like to have 6 months to a year of preparation to handle all of the issues and challenges before the wedding. I see it as a time to get all the planning done and go through the bad to get to the good part which is being married to the love of your life. It is very important for someone to prepare for marriage and to not rush into it because just like anything else in life, you need to prepare. Marriage is a lifelong commitment to another person and cannot just be treated as any other ordinary thing. Marriage is a responsibility and companionship comes from it if there is a proper …show more content…

If anything it helped me on some uncertainties I had about marriage. I know the Lord has called me to the married life and I have always wanted to be married and give my life to someone to start a family. I have learned that love is selfless and takes a lot of that person to be able to commit for a life-long marriage. I think with society today, it has made it harder for marriages to be successful or for marriages to happen. There is so much changing and going on in the world that it is hard for people to keep up. With the pressure of so much sin in the world, it makes it hard to have a good marriage now a days. In my future marriage, I will definitely discuss the issues that society has and make sure that we are both able to handle the pressure. If we are both willing to love each other as much as Jesus loved us when he died on the cross for us, then we should be able to have a good

  • Redefining Traditional Marriage Roles in Western Society

    1442 Words  | 3 Pages

    For as long as we can remember, the idea that marriage is sacred, desirable, and even necessary has persisted in the western world. In a way, society has taught us that in order to live a normal, fulfilled life, one must find their soul mate, marry them, and spend the rest of eternity together. According to tradition, a perfect marriage is characterized by a husband that goes to work every day while the wife remains within the home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. Tradition has further dictated that once the husband returns from work, the wife has dinner ready and the family sits down around the table to share a meal together. American literature is full of stories that both play on or challenge these traditional roles within a marriage. But, one might ask, does

    In his description of marriage, Chidili Bartholomew sees marriage in his book, Professional Hand Book on Marriage Course as “the state of being husband and wife, the legal union or contract made by a man and a woman to live as husband and wife, or any formal commitment between a man and a woman to cohabit more or less permanently”(1).

  • Indissoluble Marriage Controversy Surrounding Catholic Divorce

    1789 Words  | 4 Pages

    To the Good People of the Catholic Church in Canada, In contemporary society, the concept of an indissoluble marriage is foreign to today’s young adults, the persons who are contemplating entering the sacrament of marriage. The sanctity of marriage, its indissoluble nature, has been tainted by the idea that marriage is a temporary union between either heterosexual and same-sex couples. With the occurrence of divorce rampant in the 21st century (marriages last less than ten years), it has become increasingly difficult to find a couple whose hardships were not overcome by separation, but by perseverance and unconditional love shared between spouses. As this absence of marriage yields its fruit, the importance of the sacrament of marriage in the

  • Value Of Marriage Essay

    1334 Words  | 3 Pages

    Has the value of marriage become obsolete to the up and coming generations? With the decline in respect amongst individuals, increasing divorce rates, a decrease in moral values, infidelity rates, and lack of communication amid people, are we setting our future generations up for marital failure? The generations of today are being shown that marriage is something that they are expected to do rather than what they are meant to treasure. Marriage was once revered as a sacred union between two individuals in which they honored and cherished the vows in which they chose to recite to one another, values our current society may be lacking.

  • Divorce and Remarriage

    1130 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to a survey by one research group, there are more “born again Christians” getting married than any other group. Nevertheless, 26% of those surveyed were “Evangelical Christians,” who indicated that their marriage had ended in divorce. It is unfortunate that today’s culture has “grown comfortable with divorce.” In America, divorce is commonly accepted as well as becoming “a natural part of life.” Moreover, most materials found today on divorce and remarriage are not based on Scripture, but “life experience and opinions.” Unfortunately, getting a divorce is definitely a modern-day tragedy. Nevertheless, as pointed out by many authors, “the concept of divorce is biblical.” Therefore, it is imperative to establish a solid view on divorce and remarriage. Therefore, a correct view is one that is grounded on the Bible, rather than personal opinion.

  • The Journey of Love and Marriage

    1321 Words  | 3 Pages

    Today, when we want to show someone how much we love a person, marriage comes into place. Marriage is the most wonderful thing you can give to someone because you’re giving a commitment and vow to love her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, and promise to love and honor until death do them part. The Bible defines marriage as a man and woman being united together so the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. According to George Bernard Shaw, marriage is an institution that brings together “under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive and most transient of passions” (Coontz 2009, pp 130). But in the past, people’s view of marriage is a different story. Marriage wasn’t always about love; in fact love was the last reason to get married or sometimes never part of it. According to Coontz (2009), in some culture true love was actually a contradiction to marriage, other society thought that it’s the best that love came after marriage, ancient India thought it as an antisocial act and in China view it as a threat to the extended family. Marriage in the past was a move to help satisfy their social status for the community, family and r...

  • Arranged Marriage Essay

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    The chapter with the topic that interested me the most in this Sociology course was the one dealing with marriages. I thought it was interesting to see how marriage can take on so many different meanings depending on what country or culture a person belongs to. To most people, especially here in the US, marriage is usually the union of two adults (usually heterosexual) who are in love with each other. This means that the two individuals get to choose who they want to be their future husband or wife. However, in India, it is not an uncommon practice to marry a person that your parents have approved/chosen for you.
