It is Spring, it is the end of the year. It is wedding season. Although people get married all through the year, Spring is a busy time for ministers and wedding venues.
I love a wedding, the magic as a groom waits in the front of the chapel for the doors to open and the bride to enter. It is just amazing every time it happens to me, as the minister, watching the event unfolding.
My little message is for the lucky couple but also for all the family and friends, many of them having been married for many years. Some of them may have lost the passion, pleasure and purpose they started with.
If you asked me as a blissfully happy married man, what are the keys to a great marriage, I would name the following three keys:
1) Keep it simple. Work on the basics and don’t make things complicated. Love, in its purest form, is simple.
2) Always make sure that you keep it sincere. Nothing destroys love and trust quicker than insincerity.
3) Don’t focus on special things, make ordinary things special; a cup of coffee, walk in the park or just a nice chat.
Marriage only becomes a challenge when we complicate it, become insincere and forget the simple pleasures.
May God remind us of the purpose of his idea called marriage.
