Marriage Is Sacred; A Lesson We Need to Learn

  • I don’t understand why people cheat on the one whom they claim to love.  How can they make a promise “Till death do us part” and as soon as things get hard or uncomfortable, they run to the arms of another.  There isn’t any excuse. If you are not happy then you owe the other the respect by trying to work it out or at least letting them know you want out.  There isn’t a need to run to another and start a relationship on the side.  You should end the first before starting another.

    What is happening to us?  Why do we keep spitting on a beautiful thing like marriage.  God gave us a right to choose.  If we don’t want to get married that’s ok.  However, if we do decide to get married, we are choosing to accept a commitment in the presence of God and the entire universe.

    I know there are many who say people change.  That’s true, but if you go through pre-martial counseling, you should be able to adapt.  Of course, this depends on both of you wanting to grow and keep the covenant.   If for some reason you can’t work it out, then you owe the respect to the other to be honest and let them know you want out.

    There isn’t any need to humiliate your partner by cheating.  You entered the relationship with respect and love; you should leave with respect and love.  Even though the love you end with may be different than the love you started with, you should want to leave knowing you are and will be connected to that person forever.    We may part, but we are forever connected.
