Article: "Happy Ever After: Navigating the Twists and Turns of Marriage"

Marriage, regarded as the cornerstone of human society, traces its roots back to the earliest days of humanity, established by divine decree. From this sacred union, countless other institutions have sprung forth. The essence of marriage lies in the joy of two souls, in this expression, the male and the female, coming together, pledging to share their lives and nurture a family. Yet, amidst its beauty, marriage often encounters unexpected challenges, leading to fractures and, all too frequently, the heartache of divorce.

What are the underlying causes of discord and dissolution within marriages? Let's examine the traditional roles assigned to men and women. Traditionally, men, as the leaders, are tasked with the responsibility of protection and provision. Women, on the other hand, receive these provisions and channel them towards nurturing and raising the family. While contemporary society has witnessed a reshuffling of these roles, it's essential to acknowledge the fundamental divisions established from the outset.

In navigating the complexities of marriage, understanding and honoring these traditional roles can provide a compass for couples as they embark on their journey together.

The twists and turns in marriage could be negligence on both or one of the couple. Irresponsibility can crash a Union. Then the bounding elements comes in here. If couples aren’t bounded together marriage can become a burden instead of a blessing. There must be several bounds. Affection. Respect. Humility. Cordial trust. Appreciate. Saying sorry, I love you, I care and such builds bounding in marriages. Conversely, insults, despises, shouts, disrespect, dishonors and such likes tire down the walls of bounding. For any marriage to thrive both parties must be very kind towards each other and forgiving. You may fulfill all your traditional roles but where there’s a lack of bounding the marriage hangs on the tree of cruxifixction. If a person doesn’t feel respected and appreciated nothing substitutes these things. The hatred, dislikes and acrimony in marriage is centered on the deficiencies of respect and appreciation.
The twists and turns in marriage often stem from negligence, whether from one or both partners. Irresponsibility has the power to derail a union entirely. This is where the concept of bonding becomes crucial. Without strong bonds between couples, marriage can quickly turn from a blessing to a burden. These bonds encompass various elements: affection, respect, humility, cordial trust, and appreciation. Simple gestures like saying "sorry," "I love you," or "I care" are foundational in building and maintaining these bonds.

Conversely, actions such as insults, despising, shouting, disrespect, and dishonor gradually erode the very foundations of bonding. For a marriage to flourish, both parties must cultivate kindness and forgiveness towards one another. Even if traditional roles are fulfilled, the absence of bonding leaves the marriage hanging precariously, akin to the crucifixion tree. Respect and appreciation are non-negotiable; without them, feelings of hatred, dislike, and acrimony thrive.
In conclusion, marriage is a journey filled with twists and turns, often influenced by the actions and attitudes of both partners. Negligence and irresponsibility can unravel even the strongest of unions, highlighting the importance of strong bonds between couples. Affection, respect, humility, trust, and appreciation serve as the cornerstones of these bonds, while actions contrary to these virtues can slowly chip away at the foundation of marriage. For a marriage to thrive, both parties must prioritize kindness, forgiveness, respect, and appreciation. Without these essential elements, the path to a fulfilling and lasting union becomes fraught with challenges.

Title: Guiding Children with Wisdom: A Lesson from Proverbs

"Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6 KJV

The relationship between children and parents is profound. Children navigate their world through knowledge, a process of continuous learning, while parents rely on their life experiences. This dynamic, often referred to as experiential knowledge, can sometimes lead to tensions within the family.

A tragic incident in the USA serves as a stark reminder of the impact of this disconnect, where a young man took his father's life due to a conflict arising from differing perspectives. Such extreme cases highlight the need for understanding and bridging the gap between the learning phase of children and the experiential wisdom of parents.

The key to fostering healthy development in children lies in nurturing their trust in their parents' judgment. When children wholeheartedly embrace the guidance imparted by their parents, it lays the foundation for a harmonious family life.

Family should be a source of joy, where parents, drawing inspiration from the wisdom found in scriptures like Proverbs, actively train and guide their children. The timeless advice of Proverbs 22:6 emphasizes the significance of instilling values and principles in children from a young age, as it becomes a foundation they carry with them into adulthood.

In essence, the interplay between the knowledge-seeking nature of children and the experiential wisdom of parents should be a harmonious dance, fostering growth, understanding, and a strong foundation for a fulfilling family life.
