    A girl I went to school with made her boyfriend join the army. She then decided she couldn't be alone while he was deployed so broke up with him. Finding out she was 4 months pregnant less than a month after she broke up with him, they decided it was the PERFECT decision to get married. CRAZY

    Marriage is a covenant with God, as Christians, for Christians. This means blessings. That's right, blessings. So, if you want to get married because of LOVE (affection and infatuation), or other reasons like security, he or she is good looking, fame, fortune, sex, pregnant, etc.. you might not understand covenant.

    There is a curse in marriage: divorce. In short,pain to you, to your spouse, kids. So why marriage? Does he or she, Love the Christ Jesus first?
