Marriage Is a Holy Relation-3


EDUCATION:

       Love  is  the  base  for  healthy  relationship.  Marriage  is  a  partnership  of  love;  the preparation  mainly  consists  in  education  to  love.  In  practice  love  involves  a  lot  of  self sacrifice. Genuine (real) love is not a mere romantic feeling, but a profound disposition (character) to give oneself to the beloved and seek his/her good.
                               
        Education to love in marriage also implies acquiring the right attitudes towards sex
and a habit of self-control. Youngsters should be given accurate scientific information on
functioning  of  the  genital organs.  They  must be  provided with  an  understanding of the meaning of human sexuality as an expression of marital love. 

CHOOSING A PARTNER: 




Some general principles about choosing a partner:



·   Both must have common values-personal/social/spiritual. It is very very important.

·   If  partner  is  good  (character)  and  if  you  feel  that  he  is  match  for  you,  don’t consider  any  other  thing  i.e.  religion,  caste,  background  etc  because  they  are

nothing in life.You are the one who had to lead the entire life, neither your parents

nor your friends.

·   You should respect the man/woman you marry.

·   Never get into relation who is different from you.

·    Never  choose  a  person  who  has  the  habits  like  alcoholism,  drugs,  gambling, cheating, etc.

·   Don’t marry someone who is looking for a mother.

·    He/she  should  be  at  least  as  intelligent  as  you  are  or  on  a  level  to  converse easily.

·    Financial  stability  of  the  husband  in  order  to  provide  the  basic  needs  for  the family, independent of wife’s salary if she is working.

·   Never marry the one who loves you by your appearance or for your property.
