1. What is the purpose or purposes of marriage?

There is no purpose, per say, it is about getting together with your soul-mate and creating a dream life

The purpose is to raise babies so the world is populated

The purpose is to experience love so you can get through life

The purposes are to make babies in a way that is good for them and to learn how to love unconditionally

Most people barely think about why they get married and end up where their best efforts to maintain takes them. This unscientific approach leads to a high divorce rate and unhappy unfulfilling marriages

Those who stick it out for the sake of their children are victims of their own morality. They suffer through or plod through till death parts them creating some relief. If only they knew about love!

Unfortunately most only see love as a receiver and never discover the joys of being a giver. Their selfish approach can never bring happiness because their desires and expectations always exceed their partner’s abilities to serve their ever increasing neediness

Socially, we can change the world by properly raising children in homes filled with love and harmony-this is called “regulating procreation”. Individually, we can elevate our own lives by learning and practicing unconditional love in the safe environment of our marriage-Practicing unconditional love is the “secret” to a great marriage.
