marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Raindrops
The silence in her bedroom was interrupted by the rain drops fiercely hitting the window. Laying on her bed pretending to sleep, her gaze was fixed on the raindrops straggling to stay in format when reaching the window panes. Sunlight breaks the dark room beaming through the window. She puts a small effort to turn her head to the other side of the room running away from the light. The alarm’s noise overshadows the drumming rain. This time her eyes can’t lie about sleeping. “It’s here.” Her thoughts woke up to this phrase. “My so-called dream day. I worked so hard for this moment. I am marrying the love of my life but I never thought big weddings matter more than the marriage. But it’s for our families’ sake.” Her brain starts remembering moments of refusal from both sides about every detail she wanted to discuss about her wedding day, including the groom, how many people are coming, the menu options, the flowers' colors and sizes. The cake's decoration, her own wedding dress was the worst of them all.

There's No Place for Green at Our Wedding
They always say that you shouldn't compare yourself to other people or be envious of what they have, and I'd be lying if I said I don't. It's incredibly hard not to compare myself to others, especially when I see people my age doing (what seems like) 10 times better than me in every aspect of life. They have better jobs, they make more money, they travel the world, and they slay every damn day. Meanwhile, I'm nowhere near where I wanted to be in life except for the fact that I'm finally getting married, so that does give me a little boost in confidence. The way I see it, if I'm gonna struggle, at least I have someone to struggle with. For richer or poorer, right? But no comparison of myself to others has sent me spiraling like comparing wedding plans.

First Love or Last Love
Would you rather be someone's first love or last love? I used to think that being someone's first love was a big thing. Don't get me wrong it is, but I think its even better to someone's last love. Especially if you are with the right person, maybe even you are not only their first love, but their last love as well.

What Is Marriage?
So much planning is spent on a wedding — but how much planning goes into having a marriage? How many people that confess their love for one another sit down with a pre-marital counselor or life coach to explore issues and goals for creating a marriage? If individuals that agreed to marry took the time to receive insight into a meaningful healthy marriage before the wedding, then maybe the divorce rate would not be so high. I do not think many times individuals have the same clear understanding of marriage which can and lead to confusion and ultimately unfortunately divorce. I do not believe that anyone get marries to only end their marriage in divorce. I do not believe that divorce is the goal when two people decide to get married. Its beneficial for any partner to explore with an effort to understand if they have found a good mate fit for marriage. The toll that divorce takes on two individuals that agreed to holy matrimony not to mention the children can be brutal. So many people put more emphasis in planning a wedding than the actual planning of the marriage. When two whole, healthy, completed individuals come together many things should be taken into consideration before actual planning the wedding:

A Sign From My Love
One day as I walking my daughter Amelia along the same path we took every day to school, we came across this piece of broken rock that resembles a heart. As many times as we've walked right by and never saw this, one day we notice it. She says, " Mom look it's a heart. Daddy sent this to you so you know he's thinking of you!"

My Journey
So, this year I realized that nothing really ever changes with me. Well it is just March 3, 2018 and there has already been so much that has happened that I feel has defined me as a person. I would like to share my journey with whoever cares to read. Why, you ask? Well, sometimes I really wish I had someone to tell me that I'm not alone, and I feel that maybe.... just maybe my journals will let someone else know that they are not alone.

Marriage Is a Life Sentence
So, in today’s world I have heard repeatedly that marriage is just a piece of paper. Some say you don’t have to be married to do things married couples do. You don’t have to be tied down to just one person your entire life. Some have even said I can’t make a commitment for the rest of my life, I’m so young.

The Marriage Union
There is a tradition among Catholics and an increasing trend among Evangelicals in American society to display a photograph where there are both a groom and bride, in white, raising together a unity candle in their hands over their heads. The core values that are demonstrated by these persons and the marriage event are unity, loyalty, and spirituality (particularly of the Christian faith).

Trouble in The Bedroom
So, there's this thing that my wife does in bed that drives me crazy, and not in a good way. To be fair to her, it's something impulsive and entirely involuntary, yet every night she torments me by doing it - seemingly more vigorously than the previous night, like some sort of petulant defiance.
