What are the pros and cons of marriage
It depends on YOUR personality on just how many Pros and just how many Cons exist. If your a taker in life and not a giver you will have BIG problems making it work. Two givers do well because each one is thinking of the other. Financially if can be helpful to have two incomes in the household opposed to only one. Marriage is a financial contract not just roses and rainbows. This is why two people who live together and merge their monies have big problems when they end up breaking up. Marriage gives you a feeling of security with that person but living together your always in fear of the other person running off.
The con’s of marriage is that it is hard. Marriage requires you to put your spouse before yourself, and to love them even when you don’t feel like it. The pros vastly outweigh the cons. You become a better person when you work successfully in a marriage, and there is tremendous security in being with someone who is committed to you. There are health benefits as well, and the list goes on…
Yes, being married can solve some problems. But it will introduce some new ones too. Why? Because marriage is the blending of two distinct personalities that are perhaps compatible but hardly identical. Hence, even well-matched couples will experience occasional conflict. The Christian apostle Paul wrote that those who marry will have “tribulation in their flesh”—or as The New English Bible renders it, “pain and grief in this bodily life.”—1 Corinthians 7:28. Marriage is a divine institution. It was authorized and established by Jehovah God. (Genesis 2:22-24) He designed the marital arrangement in order to form a permanent bond between a man and a woman so that they might be mutually helpful to each other. When Bible principles are applied, a husband and wife can expect their lot in life to be a joyful one.—Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.
