What Destroys a Marriage?
Many marriages and dating relationships fail years before the
loving couples meet. The exposure to a value system that
promotes the acquisition of material possessions has a direct
affect on our development as children. We learn early in life to
take control of our material possessions.
This activity awakens our selfish nature and fortifies it as we
mature. We learn to believe that we can do what we want with
those possessions, my wife, my husband, my money, my toys, my
bike, my car, my woman, my man, and mine, mine, mine!
Unconsciously we believe these possessions are our slaves and
should be at our beckon call or perform a particular function
that we desire. At anytime, when our possessions do not conform
to our desires or expectation, we become outraged. The reality
is these are not our possessions, especially human beings.
We want our mates to take a subservient position to our desires.
This is the beginning of the end of a healthy marriage or dating
relationship. The core of the problems in marriages and dating
relationships today is that we rely on traditions and false
promises by others and institutions that manipulate our hopes
and dreams for profits. We have been led to believe that
institutions are held to a higher standard and do not fall into
the same category as others who are motivated by selfish
desires; but they are! There are in excess of 400,000 marriage
counselors, workshops, and therapy sessions posted on the
Internet.
Marriage counselors are professing to have the solution for a
fee. Do you think they care about your marriage or dating
relationship? The judicial branch of government is pointing the
finger at the legislative branch. The legislative branch is
pointing the finger at the judicial branch, and church
organizations are partnering with social scientist to qualify
for federal funding to rebuild marriages. Where is the solution?
Dating
relationships that lead to marriage is the fundamental
social institution deeply rooted in all societies. To uphold and
defend the institution of marriage, we must place emphasis on
the truth. The institution of marriage should not be built on
the traditional foundation of the past. The institution of
marriage must be built on a strong foundation representing
truth, sincerity, sacrifice, and cooperation, mutually putting
our desires and opinions to bay.
Individuals who enter a dating relationship or marriage with
opposing objectives, which are to fulfill their own desires,
will have a failed dating relationship or marriage. Both
participants must understand that individual desires and
opinions are the furthest from the truth. The truth is what
exists at the moment, or an incident that occurred in the past.
The truth is not what one may think is going to happen in the
future, nor is it what one may believe should have or could have
happened. Falsehood, seeking to fulfill individual desires, and
imposing one's opinions on another are destructive ingredients
for all relationships and marriages.
It is time for us to face the truth and to adopt a different
posture when seeking a dating partner or a marriage companion.
We must change our perspective and evaluate why living together
in harmony is such a momentous task. We then must apply the true
meaning of love and togetherness and then we can begin to live
happily ever after!
