I believe in God and in all his wonders, I really do, but I must admit that I have never read the Bible, until one year ago. I'm born in a Christian family that believes in God, and every time we had the chance we would go to the closest church in our town to pray for everyone's and for our health as well. My mother wakes up and lays down with God in her mind and prayers, and this was something that my sister and I have learned from her. Even now, every night before I go to bed I pray to God, I must pray, otherwise, I feel like something is missing.

These days there are hundreds versions of the Bible and this is due to the fact that different methods have been used to translate the biblical texts into English. As a book with priceless value and huge influence throughout the centuries people have been trying to provide the best translation of the biblical manuscripts originally written in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. Interpreting the original texts is not easy, especially into modern language considering the fact that many ancient phrases and words from the original texts don't have their modern English counterparts that can best convey their meaning. All Bible translations can be divided into three main categories: word-for-word, thought-for-thought and paraphrased translations. Each of these offer their own unique approach to interpreting the Bible.
That feeling you get at the beginning of a romantic relationship, when you want to see and feel your partner at all times, can't get off the phone, and can't seem to get the butterflies leave your stomach – doesn't seem to last long. Or maybe, its short life span is the sign of a mistake done along the way? Or maybe, the notion that love and romantic feelings between two partners get reduced as time goes by, and they start to function as a couple simply because they're used to each other, is too widely accepted as true, when in fact, is meaningless. That's my opinion, just to be clear. If romantic feelings disappear, according to me the logical step would be to end this relationship at once, because isn't this the meaning of romance? So, what would the meaning of marriage be then? A very wide topic to discuss on, and Timothy Keller has started it in his book “The meaning of Marriage”.
