Keeping Your Marriage Committment
Religious persuasion aside, when you got married you entered into a covenant…a binding obligation in the sight of God, your family, friends, etc. Undoubtedly you said some sort of wedding vow…Did you catch that word? Wedding VOW. Whether you spoke a traditional wedding vow or one that you and your spouse came up with, the point of that vow was to declare your (ready?) COMMITTMENT to one another. After all, that is what a vow is! I really don’t want to come across as harsh here — that’s not my goal! But let me take this opportunity to remind you that no one promised you that your marriage would be problem free. No one promised you that your marriage wouldn’t take WORK.
“To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”
From this day….forward. In all circumstances. Until death do us part.
And if you are fortunate enough to be blessed with children, let me ask you this:
What are you teaching your child about the importance committment if you go ahead and break yours?
Seriously - think about that.
