5. They Don’t Think Marriage Vows Should Be Kept
Only a few couples take the time to think about their vows and how much commitment is required. These days the vows are being reviewed with the “strong” words being deleted and “lighter” ones added on. Most couples at the altar quickly recite those words repeated by some officiating minister without thinking through. We all want the better part of the vows, but it’s “for richer or poorer, in sickness or health.”
Marriage hasn’t got any guarantees that it will be a bed of roses. Unless you’re in a physically violent relationship, which requires you to be out of harm’s way, the issues can be sorted if you both can submit yourself to professional help. If you can’t keep your promise to this lady, can you keep your vows to another?
