Book Introduction
This is an essay by author Lee Joseph, recording his struggles before God while preparing for marriage and living married life.

And in it, we share our experiences of listening to and obeying the Lord's words.
This is not a specific guideline on how to get married or what kind of family to have.
Because each of us is different and we love in different ways.
The only answer to building, restoring, and reviving a family lies with the Lord.

Into the book
One day, a year later, God gave me a very simple answer to the question I had asked.
"You said that the reason you don't find this life difficult or tiring is because I'm your father, right? So when you get married, I'll go from being your personal father to becoming the father of your family." Ah! This simple truth drove away the fear within me.
How little I had ever thought of our God! The belief that God, just as He loves and protects me as my own father, is also the Father of my family—that belief has freed me.
---From "But I'm Afraid of Marriage"

If I were Myeong-gyeong's father, wouldn't I have wondered how she had grown up alone all this time, and wouldn't I have only worried about the happiness I could show my daughter to her relatives who came from far away? Wouldn't I have only worried about how I could give my daughter, who had grown up so brightly during the long absence of her father, a beautiful wedding that would be the most blessed of all?

This wedding will be a great encouragement and comfort to Myeong-gyeong.
It is the comfort and joy that God the Father wants to give to His children, even before the heart of Myeong-gyeong's father.
I have come to confess that I am a weak person who cannot distinguish between right and wrong until God makes me realize it.
But whenever I sought the Father's heart, He gave me His own.

---From "I Want to Prepare a Beautiful Wedding"

The values ​​of faith and mission that one had when one was alone must also be adjusted as one forms a family.
In other words, couples must not only share time and space, but also examine, agree on, and communicate each other's religious beliefs.
No matter how just the cause and motivation may be, the issues at hand are not important enough to cause discomfort or hurt to one another due to a lack of unity.
Moreover, it is not a rejection of one's faith or an abandonment of existing values.
It is simply a process of adjustment that is essential to becoming one body.
---From "If you love, everything will work out, everything will work out?"

Even as time passes, there are differences in perspective between the two.
But the fact that we have a problem is no longer a problem.
The problem is that there is no problem.
Isn't life not about living without worries, not about living without problems, but about living while embracing worries and problems?
We should not have complete expectations about life, but we should have complete expectations about the Lord who will work through it.
Because faith is not about what I see with my eyes now.
---From "Don't you regret marrying me?"
