The Marriage & The Boat

Rate this Entry

I was thinking today about the counselling my husband and I got when we asked our minister to marry us. We had to go to several pre-Marriage classes prior to our big day, and though I kind of enjoyed them, my then hubby-to-be hated them (his words were something along the lines of 'hating to bare his soul to outsiders' ...).

At any rate, at the end of the sessions, the minister asked us to find something -- a concept -- that we could compare a marriage with. We concluded that a marriage could be considered a ship at sea. The ship is prepared with careful detail, and then sets sail.

.....................


Anything can happen in life's journeys, both good and bad. If we can ensure that the ship is strong and secure, than we can brave any storms that erupt throughout our life.

Well, anyhow, you get the idea. The ship comparison was what we decided upon, and I rather like it. Strangely enough, neither of us are sea-faring individuals, lol.

Till next time,

    That is a nice concept. I wonder what we would have chosen~ I've never considered it before and now the ship sounds like the perfect thing.

    That's one of the best sets of images that I have ever seen. It actually said something.

    Yep, there are some real storms sometimes. Especially if both parties have a temper.

    Love the Romantic (contrast black and white) photos. Very 19th century! (-:

    Wonderful use of the pictures throughout the entry. I especially like the boat at the end of it. Very fitting.
