WHAT WE DON'T GET ABOUT MARRIAGE

OKAY, I’ve heard people say things like “oh, there’s no perfect couple; everyone has a weakness and a stuff. Therefore everyone is supposed to tolerate his/her spouse despite his/her weakness.
Please, the issue with the world today is people have occupied their mind with the idea that being completely compatible is inevitable. But really this is the wrong perception, we can have perfect couples; couples who really love and are willing to look out for each other for the long run; couples that can live together, understanding each other and living in harmony.
What is a perfect couple?
A perfect couple comprises of two people who of course love each other; are willing to be together for the long run; are aware that they are in a completely imperfect society; are also aware that they are completely imperfect beings but are willing to work on themselves just for the purpose of making each other happy and satisfied.
As we can see, the difference here is that there is the willingness; the strong willingness; that sacrifice;the ever burning willingness not to keep fighting that battle to be better versions to suit the other, of course suiting the other also means being in conformity with the moral standards defined by God by virtue of their Christianity.
So, having said that, I should also remind us that God gave each and every one of us a brain with which we are supposed to know what is perfect for us. Don’t get me wrong, God is knows what is best for us but that doesn’t mean that we should have no clue of what we need in life and what would suit our lifestyle if we are not willing to change it for anyone. In other words, we should know what we need. A staunch Christian can’t decide to marry a staunch Muslim person and expect the marriage to last.
