Many women find that having the same last name as their husband helps them feel more like a family, and a new name is an important symbol of the journey they are taking together. Personally, when I get married, I will gladly change my last name to whatever my husband happens to be, because following the tradition is important to me. Williamson gave her own experience on how not following tradition can affect everyone in the family when she stated “He’d just delivered the happiest news of his mother’s life - that her first grandchild had been born and followed up with a sucker punch to the heart. The baby was going to have my last name” (69) Williamson’s mother-in-law is woman who

Cloud and Townsend carefully explain why one relationship works and why the other one does not.
Tamia sings of how she, and her husband still love each other like the first day they met even though they both have aged, and have kids. Shakespeare says basically the same thing in his sonnet.

Even though Aravis is distant from Shasta in the beginning of the story, they become very close and get married at the end of the book. This book is part of a series by C.S. Lewis called “The Chronicles of Narnia”. Dear Shasta, I enjoyed reading your story and am pleased to be writing this for, but I have some question to ask you.

Brett Libby 11 / 4 / 12 Theology III Definition of Marriage This article written by Bishop Richard Malone talks about marriage from a very idealistic version of what marriage should BE, but not what marriage always IS. Not every marital union is blissfully happy, whether it is man and a woman, two men, or two women. Not all marriages of men and women last. Often, the marriage breaks up and the children’s lives get a whole lot more complicated, either by being raised in two households or by a single parent only. Bishop Malone states; “Marriage is the foundation of the family and the best place for children to be loved, cared for, educated, and taught to be productive, creative, upright, and responsible citizens”.
After falling in love, the next step is marriage. The purpose of marriage is to denote to others your love and dedication to a special person. The promises to love, honor, and obey, to nurture through sickness and good health, and to remain, as one until death are the traditional wedding vows. Most people exchange these sacred vows and expect to stay with their significant other for the rest of their lives. Although these are the traditional wedding vows, times have changed, the exchanging of these vows are no sacred and do not often last.
Close Relationships Sometimes Marks Poor Communication Angela Walter OOM200: Interpersonal Communication (ADM 1302A) Instructor: Summer Beretsky Date: January 14, 2013 After reading the article on close relationships mask poor communication, I have to say that I agree with the article.

We went to get some help with our marriage.
