Love and Marriage

In the Western Countries we “Fall in Love” and get married. In Cambodia, you get married and hopefully, eventually fall in love. Arranged marriages are still the norm here, and surprisingly the divorce rate is officially better than the USA’s. But, life is a lot more enjoyable if a couple can learn to love each other. We brought in 25 young pastoral couples into a marriage seminar sponsored by “Living Water’s Church” from Olympia, Washington. It was truly a miraculous turn of events, around half the couples openly confessed they did not love each other, and left the three days later kissing and carrying on like start-eyed lovers. They were! “Get them a room!” was the outcry. So, we did, for a three-night honeymoon.[nggallery id=1191]
