Not too much of a gap between posts this time around.

I’m VERY grateful.

I’m getting married! Eventually.
LOL. Hopefully one day I will share my life with ONE woman and glide through
the rest of my life with her. The idea of monogamy has enough depth to make
grown men sweat. ßI didn’t mean to rhyme.

On May 22nd 2012, my parents will be
celebrating 30 years of marriage. I NEVER want to discount or diminish the positive example that
their longevity has had on my life. Of course the 30 years got me thinking (as
most things do) about the general idea of commitment. Marriage is at the
TOP of the totem poll
as far as commitment implications. How do some people MAKE it look easy and other
people MAKE it
look so hard? Mind you, in both instances I emphasized “MAKE”. One of the CRUCIAL things I’ve learned
through my parents’ union is that even when people make it “look” easy, it is
NOT easy. Is commitment ever easy? I don’t know if I have the answer
to that question, but I know that with God all things are possible. 30 years
doesn’t happen without God—just my personal opinion. 10 years doesn’t happen
without God.
Monogamy-the practice or state
of being married to one person at a time. That definition
makes some people weak at the knees. My definition would probably make their
knees’ knees get weak. How about “having eyes and affection for only one
person”? Did that make you scared? Society almost makes it seem like it can’t
be done. If God is the glue, I GUARANTEE it can.
I’m looking forward to marriage. For like a trillion
reasons. If you’re reading this passage and you’re not married yet, let’s bring
that divorce rate DOWN. We can
do it.

get a divorce from yourself. Successful marriage demands a certain death
to self.” ~Jerry McCant
