I am a single Christian woman, once wanting to get married. But now, I'm not so sure...
I read two different views of marriage from both a man and a woman, and it made me feel that marriage is REALLY HARD WORK , with no guarantee of success!!!
But marriage is a lot like other relationships that we have (friendship, parent-child, siblings, family members etc). Every relationship requires hard work, and trying to get to learn about someone else. Every relationship requires a certain amount of vulnerability. Every relationship involves risks. The thought is - is the risk worth it? Is the person worth the risk, the work and the time?
I think that marriage should last until "death do us part." No divorce. So what do you do when the man you're married to beats you badly while you're pregnant? When your wife brazenly tells you that she had an affair behind your back and that the child you loved and thought was your "flesh and blood" son was really her lover's? When you married your spouse because of the outgoing, friendly, helpful guy that he or she was, only to find out that he's also childish and demanding? How do you cope?

Look at these two link and give me your thoughts on the subject!
"Wives... submit yourselves to your own husband so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behaior of their wives when they see the purity and reverence of thi\eir wives. ..Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." 1 Peter 3: 1-2, 7 (New International Version).
