my best mate from uni joe just got engaged!!! i was totally freakd out, the whole marrige thing scares me, big time. and they are so young etc etc, but then i was thinking about what the bible has to say about it, and read eph5 below

eph 5 v25 -
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[2] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

this might sound a bit dramatic but i have never seen these verses lived out quite like Mare and Joe over the last year. i am obviously young naieve and dont have a clue about relationships but the leap of faith it takes to say yes i want to marry you while i am still young before we have lived together for 5 years and proved we can earn enough money to afford it etc etc strikes me as a great adventure, the sort of the thing that love illogical and wild as it is would prompt. so go for it you too i am privleged to be part of your best man double act, this is going to be beautiful
