Advantages: The knowledge, for one thing, that marriage is His desire.

Disadvantages: Because this is of Him, there should not be any

General disclaimer for my reviews:

I have been a child of the Elohim of The Holy Scriptures (The Bible) for approximately 25 years, to date, and only recently I have come to realize just how much my trust in, devotion to, fear and worship of and love for Him and His Messiah (Yahushua/Jesus) has permeated every corner of my being, in this period of time. The realization that this bias of mine, for Him, His Word and the people He first chose to reveal Himself to, i. e. the Jewish people, may, very well, irritate, annoy or even offend some dooyoo members, who do not, at all, share my convictions, have caused me to write this disclaimer.

With this disclaimer, you are now aware of my specific bias, which are, so obviously, entrenched in my reviews. If you suspect that, by reading any one or more of these, you will become unduly irritated or the like, you have all the freedom in the world to just ignore it and move on to some other review; there are so many very good ones in this community. I give you the following assurances as His child . . . I will never ever be offended or otherwise hold it against anyone, whosoever, who makes any negative or, even derogative (may Elohim forbid!) comment about me, the Jewish people, my beliefs or, even, the Elohim I serve. Even if I should know that a specific member avoid my reviews, like the plague, because of who I am in Him, I will continue to rate said member's reviews on a fair and consistent basis, just like everybody else's.

Hi there, it is me again . . . Mayan820

I must admit, this discussion sub category on the dooyoo website is my favourite. The subjects you do not find here, are almost not worth considering. Today I will endeavour to write a review on . . . an aspect of marriage, in general.

Well, in modern western societies it is pretty clear that, by far, the majority of people view marriage as a completely outdated practice. One does not have to look at the results of surveys that has been/are being conducted on this subject, at all, to come to the above conclusion. We can just look around us to see the reality of the situation . . .

Marriage is, of course, the Almighty's way. There can be no doubts about it. The Messiah, Yahushua/Jesus, Himself (who is completely one with the Father - John 10:30 refer), spoke the following words, with regard to marriage, in Matthew 19:5, when He said . . . "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." I almost want to say . . . "Elohim (G-d) and marriage goes together like a horse and carriage."

Perhaps the following is as logical for you as it is for me . . . as long as His people love Him (and He says . . . those who truly love Me, will keep my commandments), they will also hold this institution of His, sacred. It is as his people move away from Him and what He desires from them, that they will also move further and further away from everything He instituted. This is really the bottom line, full stop.

Hundreds of people, who can not care less about Elohim and His ways, are getting married in our world, every single day. This much, at least, makes sense to me, i.e. . . . these couples are certainly NOT getting married because they desire to obey one of Elohim's commandments. It has to be for some other reason . . . Perhaps they do it for the sake of tradition, to pacify their parents or the local minister, because their best friends did it or perhaps because society, somehow, expects it.

The following, however, makes perfect sense to me . . . for those who do love Him and live for Him, there is no other way but marriage, and never will be.

My conclusion - the institution of marriage has become increasingly more unpopular, over time, as Elohim, His ways and His Word (the Holy Scriptures) has become less and less important to people.

Summary: As our Creator, He knows best what works for us and what not . . .
