Reflection: Married Life: A Vocation of Sharing Joy to another Human Heart

Marriage as all of us will state is an act based on love. The foundation of every relationship and so with being married is the love and care you give unconditionally. To be married isn’t easy. Once you’d entered it, there’s no backing out. Though annulment is being honored here, it isn’t an escape to run from what you’d started.

To be married is a sacrifice: a matter of giving up what you want to fulfill the need of your partner. It is a manner of sharing: a give and take relationship. It is appreciative: never nag but rather learn to see the beauty of other. And marriage should be forever: till death you are part of each other.

To start a family and be in a family is a commitment that one must stand. It is hard but, nonetheless, with proper guidance and graces of God, the relationship surely would pass anything. Respect should be given to each member and the continuous flow of support and care be your habit.

This gives us the key to happiness and fulfillment in marriage. Happiness and fulfillment are not something that we obtain directly. If we say, “I see fulfillment there, and I’m going there now and get it,” we will find that it disappears when we arrive. We do not obtain it directly but indirectly. In other words it is a result of something else… and that “something else” is self-giving. Do not look so much on how your spouse will make you happy. Look instead at how you can give yourself away to each other.
