       What is the goal?

       Ephesians 5 and I Corinthians 11 talks about the roles of the
       household...we like to focus on women being in submission and
       men being the head of the family but there is so so so so much
       more there...can I get anyone to talk with me about the other
       things it says, like what is the goal of marriage?

       You said:"like what is the goal of marriage?"
       Staying married is hard work that gets easier as it goes along.
       The oath we took, was to cherish each other until death do us
       part...So far that has not happened...
       .but that is the GOAL. To remain married to each other until the
       good Lord calls us,
       We have 51 years experience but I would not have it any other
       way.,

       [/quote]can you show the scripture that you take this goal from?
       As I see it, this is a covenant, not a goal, and the passages I
       posted show goal...so what scripture are you presenting to make
       this claim?

       The goal of marriage is to go forth and multiply - one goal,
       anyway.

       [/quote]that can get into some sticky stuff, especially for
       couples that can't have kids...

       This goal of forever and ever marriage has caused so much and
       many problems internal to religious organizations.   It seems to
       me this going back to cherry-picking the laws in the bible you
       want to follow and ignore the rest.   Do we follow and enforce
       the marriage mandate but ignore the stoning for planting
       dissimilar crops next to each other.  They are both in the Bible
       as Laws.  So do we liberally apply interpretation to the stoning
       but enforce the Marriage mandate.
       The first marriage I thought was forever, it lasted 18 months as
       I realized I did not love her but loved her money.  I left the
       marriage in guilt and shame.  My second marriage was forever and
       ever until I realized we had nothing other than I married her
       for her sex drive and her model looks.  Yep, I was gone after
       three years of horrible guilt and realized I was shallow as all
       could be.
       Then when I was not looking and not expecting it I did find the
       forever and ever love and partner.  After 35 years I am more in
       love with her than on the day we married.  It has not been easy
       and has taken work, but it has been worth every minute I get to
       spend with her.
       So I think the goal is not strictly to stay with a person once
       married, but to take the time to find the one you can stay with
       for life.   The goal then is the journey of faith to the life
       mate that will journey with you in faith.   Just an old guys
       humble opinion.

       of mutual righteousness?!  amen...mutual righteousness!!!!!

       Ahh, you're just feeling guilty that your first one didn't take.
       . . just kidding Mark and I agree mostly. Marrying too young
       and/or for the wrong reasons can easily progress to
       dysfunctional relationships. I found my true love finally after
       years of prayer and remaining open to love & marriage, but now
       the difficulty is that she is in another state and we can't be
       together yet.
