#003 ~ Does Marriage Have A Purpose?

"Why am I alive? What is the reason for my existence? Is there anything more to the circumstances that surround my life, whether good or bad?"

These are some of the questions that many people grapple with on a daily basis, as they try to figure out their path in life. They all deal with Purpose, the reason for the existence of an object, a human, or an entity. Many individuals have appropriately discovered their purpose and are rightly functioning in them. 

Does Purpose apply to the prominent institution called marriage? More specifically, does the specific and unique union between you and your spouse have a function? Or are you two random humans who collided to simply form yet another random union? Is your function any different from that of a different married couple?

Join us as we answer some of these questions, and start you off on this conversation.

#002 ~ Should A Woman Propose Marriage To A Man?

It is a fast-changing world that we live in, and much of what was considered ideal in the past is slowly eroding or fading away as life rushes on. One such model revolves around engagement/marriage proposals.
Customarily, men are the ones expected to show some chivalry and do the onus of asking for the woman's hand in marriage, but what happens when the tables are turned? Should a woman be bold enough to ask for a man's hand in marriage? Or is it more like giving her hand in marriage ahead of the ask? Would a man accept it?
Let's find out.
