Marriage is rising above pre-occupation with one's own affairs by showing concern for the welfare of their partner. Marriage is being a servant. Marriage is seeing when it is loving to give in. Marriage is helping when she’s/he’s tired. Marriage is caring about your partner when she/he hurts. Marriage is saving our hearts for each other Marriage is keeping our promise of loyalty to each other Marriage is not seeking comfort from a competitor Marriage is letting no one come between us Marriage is realising we are not our own
