Marriage

Is a covenant, not just a contract.

A man should leave his mother and father …
This protects the wife in particular, with changes in her body, children, security, safe sex, intimacy, monogamy. Sharing the workload. Bedrock or foundation of civilization. Under attack. Between 3-One man, One woman, and God.

Do not be fooled or led astray by what seems to be popular opinion. Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. (or not JUST a contract).

Never live with family unless necessary. Give it a year (Go through all the holidays) before making the big decision.
What are the conditions for marriage? Is love sufficient? Just two persons who love each other? What about Mother/Son, Father/Daughter, Aunt/Nephew, etc. What about multiple partners?

Move into your own place however small.
