It is very disheartening and amazing, yet trending
on how many couples are cheating on each other
after they have made a public vow to stick and
be faithful to their partner in the presence of God
and everyone present at the solemnization of
marriage/wedding ceremony.
Many people are no longer ashamed to cheat on
their spouses, infact, to some it's like a thing to
be proud of when breaking the marital vow.
In the holy book i believe in, it is written therein
that, it is better not to make a vow than to make
it and not fulfilling it.
While discussing about it with someone, he said
maybe those involved in cheating on their
partners aint aware that they're breaking any
vow, which makes them not better than a
betrayer. I think at this junction, we need to
examine the vow made by the couple to each
other on their wedding day and see if it's
different from making a vow..........
To the groom........the officiating minister(either
in church or court) asks.....do you (groom's
names) promise to take this woman(bride's
names) as your legally and only wife, to love and
care for in health and sickness, in wealth and
poverty, for better and for worse, and also to
forsake other women, till death do you part? And
the man answers...........Yes, i do!
To the bride.......the officiating minister (either in
church or court) asks...........do you(bride's
names) take this man(groom's names) as your
legal and only husband to love and care, in
health and sickness, wealth and poverty, for
better and for worse, and also forsaking other
men, till death do you part? And the woman
answers..........Yes, i do.
If this is not a vow, i wonder what it is.
It is high time people start taking their marriages
serious, everybody knows him/herself very well, if
you know that you have problem keeping to your
marriage vow, then, please remain single, it's
better than making a vow and not keeping it.
I don't know the party that is more involved, be it
husbands or wives, but please, if you're into
extra-marital affairs, please, stop and retrace
your steps. Also, if you're planning to get
married, ensure and decide to keep to your
marital vow, and as you're doing so, you're doing
yourself a lot of good as well as putting a stop
to all ridiculous stories we hear and read about
couples cheating on each other.
Apart from the fact that cheating on one's
spouse is unhealthy in every aspect one may
look at it, it is also full of regrets at the end of it
all.
Before i stop..........a food for thought for us all,
treat your spouse the way you want him/her to
treat you.
If you're a man, and you're cheating on your
wife, how will you feel if it's your wife that is
cheating on you?
If you're a woman, and you're cheating on your
husband, how will you feel if it's your husband
that is cheating on you?
May God help us all.
