love and marriage
last sunday i went to sol cafe. the talk was on marriage. discussions about how should marriage work. what to do with conflict etc. were talked about. i talked of my own struggle as a single man. for me, the reason i'm single is for various reason. one is that i'm not completely happy with myself. that i need to resolve an issue before i feel i could be in a relationship. another is that being christian, i need to find someone with the same belief. also, my culture plays a big part. being canadian with the outer looking asian as well inside. well i'm looking for someone who understands the culture and language. so it's been a struggle for me looking for someone. there's been many good comments that came out of that sunday. and it lingered on me till wednesday.
wednesday afternoon, i watched the colbert report. colbert talked first of princess sayoko and about her losing her royal status. later in the day, i read an article on her wedding. in it was about how she will have to do the cooking, learning to drive, going to the supermarket etc. and how a difference from having foods prepared for her. it's the upside cinderlla story. i'm not sure how many girls these days think of fairy tale weddings. however, princess sayoko decided to relinquish all her privileges.(she still gets a one time sum of 1.5million plus some sort of monthly payment.) it made me think of what marriage is a little more. as a christian we are encouraged to marry fellow believers. yet for those who are not, marriage is something different. i know couples who have been married long time. i know some on the verge of divorce. so i'm still trying to figure it out, when christian couples enter into a marriage, God is in it as well. if anyone has any input i would like to hear back.
on a final note, looking at my parent's, other christian couples in various stages of their marriage. i do look foward to the day that i get married. there are those rushing and wanting to see me get married. for them i will have to say that i'm still trying to figure myself and yes even in marriage it will continue. i have to say i'm just not ready to get married.
