This is very nice, I like how u used the bible to address the issue of marriage without sounding too preachy/religious. You nailed the fundamentals.
Marriage is for those that are ready for whatever comes with it, and as you've highlighted, mere love and affection may not be enough!
Someday #Hive Learners are going to ban me for religious content because I believe they have it banned. Until then I'll stick to my beliefs and backup my viewpoints as best I can. Thanks for reading and for the comment.
Honestly I'm all for marriage as it is intended. I just think the meaning has changed over time, viewpoints have changed over time, and now its far more difficult than most people think when they sign up
It's interesting that you've managed to shield yourself from the ideologies about life prevalent in the West. I guess it would be very difficult sticking to your beliefs and dealing with the numerous conflicting ideologies being thrown at you over there.
With respect to HL, I think they should be more discerning to recognize when the bible is being referred to as a reference material and as an authority just like every other books, and when someone is promoting religion. It's a tough balance though, but its doable.
