If You're Not Married, You're Single



I agree with a lot of this.  It makes sense.  I never understood the whole being with a guy for 5-10 years without an engagement or marriage but having all his babies thing. Not judging just never understood it.

The content was deep. Although it is a contradiction regarding Hollywood. Yes there are plenty who are loving deeply and hole heartily and understand that their job description say action and cut. Single is single and marriage is marriage, plain and simple. More importantly is really about commitment and who is deserving of that commitment.
Have I played into the so- called marriage/single game as eloquently put in the video; yes. But please don’t get it twisted or confused we are all at fault for the sake of love and sharing our love with those who may not have been warranted of it. Our mistakes regarding relationships are just that, mistakes; we grow from them. Partnerships, thus in turn a loving relationship results in a mutual understanding of the mind and heart. One can only hope to reach a full potential of love like Osie Davis & Ruby Dee, Will & Jada, Bill & Camille, or the best of all our own generational love our (grandparents and great-grandparents) who stayed together for years. Understanding who we are and what we will do and give regarding a relationship is its true test of will not just for the other person, but our true test of faith that God has lead us to the one whom he has given in his divine favor.

Nicely put Shanican! Yes we all have made mistakes, that's why it's so good to realize those mistakes for the betterment of the next relationship. What works and what does not. Take bits and pieces of the new, more wise us :)

If It isn't broke then don't try to fix it. Sometimes people get all caught up with being married that when it finally happens you're relationship changes. My advise to anyone is don't get caught up with getting a piece of papper that says you're relationship is official. If you're with the right now then you'll know it's for real and you'll won't need anyone or thing to tell you otherwise!

Interesting... That's your opinion so I have to respect it even if I don't agree with it.

I agree with about 50% of what this guy has to say. He nearly lost me at the beginning by saying that dating isn't recognized in the Bible. SLAVERY is recognized in the Bible and endorsed by the Bible, so is mass murder. Does that make them legitimate and right? On the other hand, I've met more than enough women who have basically ruined their lives by shacking up with men they hardly know, having babies, and buying their own engagement rings (in that order) because "boo" forgot his credit card. These women just want to be ruined, and I'm sick of them because none of them take responsibilty for their mistakes.
