I was talking with my pastor once and he asked what is it you enjoy doing? I answered praying with people. He asked; "Why? I answered because if they pray, they have "Hope". I learned hope in a different way then my children did, and their children will have a different way of looking at it then they do. I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary. The dictionary were those that use it can define what the word is. Trendy don't you think?
The high tec world has added a whole new dimension to the definitions of words. As we change the world changes as the world changes we change. Hope was once an expression of what we wanted, dreamed of, experienced in our relationships. It was not just a word it was what we gave one another. We even saw our elderly as hope. Today business does not allow us to reflex on the things hoped for.

Bible: 
Taken from Blue Letter Bible
It has many verses on hope, but within a marriage it is these prayerful ones that shoudl be thought of in the most difficult of times.
| Psa 16:9 |
Therefore my heart 3820 is glad
8055, and my
glory 3519
rejoiceth 1523: my
flesh 1320 also
shall rest 7931 in hope 983. |
 Psa 22:9 |
But thou [art] he that took 1518 me out
of the womb 990: thou
didst make me hope 982 [when I
was] upon my mother's 517 breasts
7699. |
| Psa 31:24 |
Be of good courage 2388, and he
shall strengthen 553 your heart
3824, all ye
that hope 3176 in the
LORD 3068. |
| Psa 33:18 |
Behold, the eye 5869 of the
LORD 3068 [is]

hope 3176 thou in
God for I
shall yet praise 3034 him
[for] the help 3444 of his
countenance 6440.
Is this a solution to everything? No. It could be the most wonderful beginning between two individuals. If both people entering a marriage understand, that their main goal is to give each other hope. Show each other grace, mercy and understanding when ever possible grace, then yes it will be a relationship worth others speaking about.
"Mrs. Clinton once said it take a village to raise a child." although as a former preschool director I didn't agree with this, I didn't understand her point or like how it affected the youth in our school. If she meant it takes having people around us that will help us maintain our value system, our believe system and the things we hope for then I agree.
Event planners, wedding planners help try to uphold the marriage relationships. Again I state, it is a one marriage, two individuals. We, if possible will help the couple with the decisions they will remember for a lifetime. If the wedding is a success they give credit to us, but it is really them working as a couple, if it is a failure they give credit to us, but again it is them working together as a couple. My goal is to get the couple to work together, decide things together, make sure the group is working together.
