The commitment behind exchanging wedding rings
Behind the Scene of Wedding
Wedding rings are a symbol of commitment between two people coming together. This jewellery of simple or sophisticated design, usually made of gold, will mark a lifetime of love and fidelity. They adorn the ring finger of the left hand, signalling the permanent marital bond.
Marriage
Marriage is not just a feeling, it is a formal ceremony obeying several requirements to be considered valid. This bond may have two modalities: civil marriage and religious marriage. Civil law defines it as a contract, while religion confers the dignity of a sacrament.
The marriageable age
The age of marriage and the mutual consent of the spouses may be of concern. However, we consider that there is no specific age for marriage, only the advisable age to avoid separation or divorce. Some sociological studies indicate ages 28 to 32 as the ideal age for a union to be solid. However, this does not mean that marriages at younger or older ages are not equally happy. Because, there is no age to feel fulfilled in love and establish long-lasting bonds.
The feeling
Any relationship has good and not so good moments. So, marriage is like a house that you build, repair and love for life.
As the years go by, the outside will look different, but it is on the inside that the most important thing is. Inside are the most valuable things that will never grow old. On the contrary, they will become more consistent and refined as the years go by. Because, after the whirlwind of passion, true love is born, what we call «loving with passion» in which: the kiss will taste of roses, the embrace will have the touch of silk, the look will have the charm and tenderness of sunrise and the conversations will be long and full of pleasure to the sound of crackling wood in the fireplace.
The foundations
In addition to the contract signed between two people who wish to start a family in total communion of life, and all the ritual surrounding the event, one must be aware that marriage is based on: trust, honesty, a common life project and making concessions for the good of both without expecting anything in return. These bases indicate a balanced relationship.
There are no princes and enchanted princesses, the right partner is the one who allows the other to show their true inner self without fear and to work on a better version of themselves. For this to happen there need to be some basic rules: know your own heart, take care of the inside to increase self-esteem, settle down with the right person, allow to engage with the partner to «grow» together and always be strong.
Knowing that in a marriage romance is not perfect, one constantly builds the relationship and never abandons or gives up. One «gives one’s breast» to protect from storms and loves to the end.
Spiritual Life wishes you a love for life.
