    Thank you dear Macha, Like a lot of them said, a marriage is a union between two people knowing each other if it is a 'love-marriage' or compete starangers, in the case of arranged marriage. A marriage is of becoming ONE. And that ONEness can be achieved if you place Jesus as the Centre. In my own experience, my marriage was too going in the rough when CHRIST was not allowed in our lives. We then put Him and His word in their rightful place and our marriage has resulted in that ONEness which cannot be broken no come what may.

    And I pray that your book will be shedding some light on that considering the younger generation have hardly any Christian values inculcated in them to which we as parents are to be held resposible for. Marriages are made in Heaven and separations are not. So it is for each one to understand that marriage is what one makes of it. A heaven or hell.

    So lets hope your book will give some pointers on that too. And eh, adjustments whether 100% or 200% will not make a marriage successful, because the very essence of marriage is compromised on adjustments and it has to be replaced with love. 100% Love. God bless you,

    JENNIFER, I can understand your concern for the increase in the rate of divorce among young couple.The young people forget that the marriage is a promise made by them with the words " I do ", but they don't know it takes a lifetime to fulfill this vow. As the Bible says both have to realise that they have to love, honour and serve each other within the guidelines and restrictions imposed on them through the bonds of marriage.

    If they realise this and act accordingly then I think there will not be any problems in their married life. Although a small word, marriage is immense and powerful . It is a commitment to life, to the best two persons can find and bring out in each other. It is a union that is promised for a lifetime.

    I appreciate your comments Marcel, As you mentioned about a the requirement for a sucessful and happy marriage both the spouse need to be 100% understanding and financial stability and above all staying together etc etc as the main ingredient. Well this is all that we look for, in every marraige.

    But it is not the way you and i think, above all these ingredients the best ingredient is applying the principle given in the BIBLE, by Almighty God because he is the originator of the marriage and he knows which ingredient is the best to acheive a happy sucessful married life.We see the instablity in marriage is due to lack of applying God's directed principle, and therefore the rate of divorce has reached to an extreme.

    But those applying God's principle are indeed happy, and these are the one's who stand a good example for the future generation. My advice for those going to get married, must keep almighty God and his principle the 1st place in their bond,take the time to read what God wants from the young ones who are going to get married, once you know the guidlines and restrictions you, and apply them in your life then you are assured to lead a happy, sucessful and above all a blessed marriage. Hope these advise bring positive outcome by applying God's Word(THE BIBLE) in the marriage.

    Hi there, In my view, for a happy and successful marrige- patience , financial stability and above all staying together with an understanding and 100% adjustment are the main ingrediants. Idea of my publishing this book is just to plan one's wedding within a reasonable budget and with more information.

    I totally agree with Joilet Lewis's comments. Yes, it is very true that Marriage is a sacred vow where a man and a woman take a sacred oath in the holy catholic church until death keeps them apart. The younger generation should know this better. They should understand material glamour and preparation for the event is not the only thing, there is more than that.
