Some Reasons Why Shaadi (Marriage) Is So Important
If you are married, you may have discovered why marriage is so important and experienced some of the good that comes from it. Or, maybe marriage was hard for some of you and you’re no longer married.
Here are some reasons that explain the importance of marriage.
Beginning
Marriage is the beginning – the beginning of the family and is a life-long commitment. Marriage is more than a physical union; it is also a spiritual and emotional union.
Oneness
When a man and woman get married, the “two become one.” Marriage is a bond like no other. It gives us a life partner, a teammate, as we move through the challenges of life together.
Purity
Marriage is designed for purity. The bond of marriage gives us the support to defeat temptation by engaging in deep, satisfying love—a love that gives to, and receives from, our mate physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Parenting
When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father or a mother. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of a strong family.
Love
Marriage is designed to mirror our Creator’s unconditional love for us. It’s a love that will always be there and will never leave us or forsake us. When a man and woman love one another unconditionally, contentment and joy follow.
