Marriage Made In Heaven
Nowadays,
in the world of disposable marriages
it is great to see someone be together
for more than a few short years.
I’m seeing a trend
where those not married
in church
have a longer
or perpetual relationship.
Do you see that too?
My thoughts are,
that since the world
was created by God
then everything upon it
is overseen and can be blessed
by God.
Shouldn’t those that take vows
and not break vows,
though not in the church,
still be recognized as being married?
Why must some stand at an alter,
when the world is His to see,
in order to be recognized in union?
After all, I don’t remember
a priest or rabbi in the story
of Adam and Eve.
If being married
outside the church
is a sin, but is confessed,
are you still living in sin?
Isn’t a marriage
that is made in heaven,
a union of two that share
their love and compassion?
Isn’t it the agreement
to be strong and be there
for each other
no matter what?
I say that
a marriage made in heaven
actually takes place in your hearts
and can be seen by all.
