Cherish Your Chosen One

Years ago we were having problems in our relationship and I sent this book to Juriz .
This book helped us to realize to have faith in our love. 

Getting married is the greatest mistake anyone can ever make.

Being wed is the height of insanity, the most ludicrous commitment, the most totally illogical decision any human being can fall into.

Tell me. Why should I commit myself to be with one woman for the rest of my life - and thereby reject 3.2 billion other females in the world? Along the way, I'll meet a girl who'll be more beautiful, or more intelligent, or more charming, or sexier, or holier... So why nail myself down to one choice, permanently - and suffer the agony of simply watching beauties pass me by?

And in western countries, one out of two marriages end up in divorce. That blows my mind. That's a pathetic 50% failure rate! I would never buy a car, a stereo, a shaver, or even nail clipper if there was a 50% chance that it would conk out on me. I simply wouldn't!

And why stay with one person "in sickness or in health, in riches or in poverty, till death do us part"? Is my mind fried? If my shirt shrinks on me because I eat too many pizzas, don't I just throw it away and buy an XL? (That will be the day.) And if I outgrow my ancient computer, don't I just look for an updated version?

And then there's the catastrophe some call kids. I mean, do I really want to wake up in the middle of the night to entertain a self-centered, bald, toothless tyrant in diapers? Do I really want little rampaging monsters to break the most expensive furniture in my house? Do I really want juvenile creatures to stay on the phone for six hours straight, listen to noise they call music that you believe came directly from hell, and mope around uncommunicative, catatonic, and depressed because another demented juvenile creature (a.k.a. boyfriend) hasn't called in the past thirty minutes?

Why should I go through the torture? Marriage is insanity.

But a few years ago, on my 32nd birthday, I gave myself a special birthday gift: I got married to a lovely woman-and committed myself to insane living.

Marrowe is her name, the one person I chose-out of 3.2 billion females. Yes, we now have a tiny tyrant that wakes us up at night, and in the near future, we will most likely have little monsters that will destroy our house during playtime, and creatures from outer space that we will call teenagers.

Why?

For three reasons.

FAITH. We believe that God calls us into marriage. And if He called us there, that means He'll be there to meet us. We will suffer all things - just let us be with our God.

HOPE. We confidently expect the best blessings-immeasurably much more than all the hardship. God will bless us beyond our wildest dreams.

LOVE. Oh yes, there will be other females who'll be more beautiful, or more intelligent, or more this and more that... But they'll only be just that-females-like flowers in the field of a million hectares of flower fields.

But not this woman-my Marowe-the one beautiful flower I have personally chosen, personally picked from her roots, personally planted in my own clay pot, personally watered every day, personally watched every day, and personally loved every day. Because of my love for her, there will be no one like her. 

In my heart, she will eternally be the most beautiful flower of them all.

Because in the end, there will only be faith, hope, and love.

And the greatest of these is love.

Juriz and I were inspired by this book especially this story. And I love to share this with all of you. Of course in this lifetime there will always be persons who will be far better than our husbands and our wives but always remember that God blessed us with someone who is perfectly made for us. Let us cherish our spouses and keep our faith in our marriage and keep the love burning.
