Reflection
A Lifelong Commitment to Love

After reading the article, I learned that marriage is not just at the wedding ceremony
when the vows are made. Marriage is a lifelong process of a commitment to love. The married
couple begins a whole new way of living. They share the oneness of the Holy Trinity as they
come together as one. The couple then must be aware and knowledgeable of their
responsibilities, challenges, and graces of their marriage. They are entrusted to love one
another based on a firm decision as they undergo the ups and downs of married life. Such love
is open to new life to the procreation and education of their future generations about Gods
teachings. Marriage is a pledge of fidelity to one person with an everlasting commitment. The
sacrament forms an indissoluble bond that can never be divorced as God values the durability
of marriage and intentionally designed it to remain exclusive and permanent.
I learned that there is more to marriage than a feeling of romance that we often see in
movies, television, and in the books and magazines we read. As Catholics, we must view
marriage as a sacred thing wherein a baptized man and a baptized woman commit themselves
to each other as partners for their entire lives as they share their love with one another to their
offspring. The marriage covenant is a blessing and a gift to the couple, to their children, to the
Church, and to the whole world. Therefore, without marriage and family life, society would fall
apart.
I have understood that marriage is not a joke for it requires special preparation because
this serious commitment is made for life. Marriage is a serious and solemn obligation that takes
time, hard work, and deep dedication. I realized that God made us His image bearers because
He desires us to reflect His own image within the covenant of marriage. Therefore, married
couples must be ready to find God at the very center of their love. It is a public act where a man
and a woman proclaim their vows of love and commitment freely and faithfully before the
community but most importantly to God. Learning that created by God out of love and that man
and woman are meant for one another, it must be filled with great joy and love.
I could conclude that getting ready for marriage is preparing to enter a life of vocation.
Marriage life is a lifelong commitment that requires a certain maturity, an ability to care for and
support a family, and an understanding of the challenges and responsibilities that join ones life
to anothers demands. If the couples would meet the demands, they will give themselves the
best chance of being successful and happy.
