I have four simple reasons why I am getting married.
1. I am in love with God, and He told me do so.
I learned the true meaning of love when God showed me He loved me. The warmth of his love flows within me; the truth that He will not leave me in times of both joy and despair has become my anchor. I am a sinner, but God continues to embrace me. He gives me freedom from the consequences of my sins. God is forgiving, and I am able to receive his mercy every day.
He loved me first when He chose me to be brought into this world through the love and union of my parents. God’s love has taught me to be selfless. To whatever reason that I will pour my life into, I know that it should not be for my own happiness but for others. Hence, God directed me to the woman I will unite in love for the purpose of bringing life and love to the world.

2. I am in love with her, and I know that my purpose is to serve her.
I met the most beautiful woman, and I am going to marry her. I met her as a friend. We knew each other well in that friendship. The moment I realized that I was already in love with her, my goal was clear: not to make her fall in love with me, but to make her feel the love that I have for her. All that I had to give was God’s love in me.
I have learned that lustful, self-seeking, and self-gratifying intentions can never lead nor define love.
I love her, and I want to serve her in every way. I am marrying her because I want her to feel even more how much God loves her.
3. I am in love with life and family, and I am to raise one.
It is a miracle that I am brought to life. Everyone is a miracle. How beautiful it is when a man and a woman becomes one and bears life that is made of love. Love is meant to be shared. Life is too beautiful for it to be experienced by me alone.
I want to get married, and I desire even more to have a family. I desire to experience the miracle of bringing life into the world. I look forward to having children and raising them, because I will be able to teach them and let them experience the love that I have known.
I know that raising families can never be perfect, but it would be very selfish of me to take from my children the opportunity of being a miracle.

4. I am in love with life.
My love and reason of getting married extends to everyone. I desire to raise a family that would be able to strengthen and uphold its truest sense: love.
Up to and beyond the day that I will reach that moment, I am sure that God’s love remains in me. Even up to that day, I will still have so much love that my family and I will share to the world.
These are the reasons why I am getting married. Marriage was never about just the love of two persons. It is far more sacred than that. It is the union of a man and a woman that is bound by love and is directed to bring life into the world so that the same love that God planted in us transcends to our generation.
I am happy. I am in love. I am free.
