Goodmorning Philippines! It is so nice to see a lot of friends who are also preparing for their big day. I had a chance to talk to some of them and we had a wonderful exchange of thoughts, ideas and personal experiences, etc. Weddings are definitely fun to do, so many creative things can be done on that special day but the couple shouldn't forget that it is more for the sacrament. I browsed upon an article about marriages here in the Philippines and I was just sad to hear that it is not anymore the priority of some couples. The first line says:
"Marriage is losing its lustre for many in the Philippines, with an increasing number of couples starting families out of wedlock, the government census office said on Friday."
Honestly, sad, but it is true. The reason? Because a lot of couples think that being wed in a church entails a lot of expense. Actually it is not. What makes it expensive are the things - such as the gown, make-up, bridal car, photography, video, etc., the reception and other stuff associated with it. And this is where couples put their focus on. They should invest more in the sacrament of marriage and their marital preparations including being a good husband and father, a good wife and a good mom and not on the celebration itself.
Hope it is not too late for the couples to take a second look on their wedding preps. They must ask themselves this question, "Are we focused on our physical wedding celebration or are we preparing for our marriage spiritually, emotionally, and mentally?." Pray and ask God'd guidance. Surely He will give you the answer.
