Why marry?

It is the week of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, a day of joy and commitment for these two and their families.

I have decided to bring together Samuel and weddings on Sunday with the kids to answer the question, why do we marry?

We will be exploring what we like about those people we love, what it is inside them which we like about them. Is it their openness, fragility, compassion, friendliness, emotionality; can it even be stated that easily.

We will be looking at how we can only really know someone if we see inside them, inside to the real person that God sees. This is how God selected Samuel, by knowing that he was a good man inside and out.

And we will be thinking about the royal wedding and praying for their lives together, asking God to be with them and all people in love as they grow together and get to know each other even better on the inside.
