Should I settle for a courthouse marriage?
In the words of Paul “it is better to marry than to burn”! A lot of women put so much on weddings and how much they want one but in essence they aren’t looking at the true essence of Holy Matrimony. It is not justified by how pretty your wedding is, or how rememorable it is, or how much money it cost. It is justified by true love. If you truly love one another it wouldn’t matter if you got married in your bedroom.
So I tend to question a woman’s love when she won’t settle for a courthouse marriage. For me it’s actually a test to that woman. Marriage is of God, it was put in place by God. So if you aren’t a God-fearing Christian then your marriage is already lacking it’s foundation. With that being said: why would you spend THOUSANDS for something that may fall through the bottom because it doesn’t have a stable foundation??
In this case it would benefit women to look at it from a man’s standpoint or even an old school woman’s stand point. When I was about to get married my Grandmother said to me “don’t waste all that money on a wedding baby, use that money to get you a car or a house, if she won’t marry you in the courthouse then she don’t love you”. That stuck with me and I couldn’t deny it. It was WISDOM and it made sense.
So before you get married with a huge cerimony think about the start that money could give you and your fiancee and if it still doesn’t make a difference then go with your heart.
God Bless!
