Two weeks ago I wrote an Evil of the Week which described a wedding as a pointless ceremony perpetrated by women so they can show off how they managed to snag a man. I do not want to give the wrong impression that I do not think that marriage is important. When two people are joined in marriage they become one and should remain so. A marriage is a commitment between two people that they will spend the rest of their lives together. ". . . for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, till death do us part." Unfortunately, today many people do not keep this vow. When things become worse or health or beauty is lost they quit, and get a divorce. Divorce is not only hard on the people being divorced it even more difficult on the children on the divorcees. These children sometimes think that it is their fault that their parents are separating. These same poor children then have to face the fact that they may only see one of their parents on the weekends or once a month. This is not at all fair to the children because they will lack a strong role model of one of the genders. If you are about to be married or about to propose don't ask yourself if you can live with your future spouse, but rather ask yourself if you cannot live without that person, and base your decision on that. If you are married and contemplating divorce then remember that even the people who have been married for fifty or seventy-five years also had financial problems and they got mad at each other ocasionally, but they did not quit they stuck to it and are still living happily together. You must have a sense of humor because if you let little things get to you then you will never be happy in life whether you are married or not. |
