Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway, interfaith minister and author of "Wedding Goddess: A Divine Guide To Transforming Wedding Stress into Wedding Bliss," talks about how to stay sane and soulful about weddings: “The Big Day is a sacred day. It is not just a party that needs planning--it is a marriage that you are preparing for.” She explains that “Some brides are downright demanding …sucked into the vortex of wedding planning stress, and overwhelmed by the pressure and expectations of those around”. It is easy to forget that a marriage is about ‘growing up’, going form being a single woman with a boyfriend, to a married woman with a husband; “ into the kind of commitment you once only dreamed about”. If you think about it, in marriage, “two complete and whole individuals with their greatness and their flaws are merging into a partnership that is beyond any union”.
“In a separate study about married men, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh found that the more frequently men talk to their wives, the less their arteries clog, and the healthier their hearts are”
If you are having last minute getters about crossing that bridge, or remaining young , free and single; a recently released Healthy Women Study at the University of Pittsburgh says that “happily married women and single women have healthier profiles than divorced or unhappily married women”. The study defines “healthier” as less likely to develop “metabolic syndrome,” which is linked to health risks, especially heart disease. In a separate study about married men, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh found that the more frequently men talk to their wives, the less their arteries clog, and the healthier their hearts are.
Loves, and the commitment to marry another different and individual human being is about learning how to integrate two complimenting energies- the female and male principle, the Yin and Yang, if you like; in order to create a new awakened state of being and the rewards that it can bring.
