We have heard so many times in movies and, of course, at weddings, that the couple recite the marriage vows.
I (mentions his or her name) take you to be lawfully wed (husband or wife), to have and to hold, from these days forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. Awww, so sweet to say and to hear of the new couples.
Back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's, that generation kept to their words because they had a better understanding of vows in marriage because they were made in the presence of witnesses, which they had to live up to. Marriage has a lot of key, things that sustain it.
Patient, tolerance, understanding, and willingness to neglect some things for your partners are necessary for the marriage to work. Marriage has a lot of key, important things that sustain it.
In the 21st century, a whole lot has gone wrong in marriage today. So many are just concerned about the wedding but lack knowledge of what marriage really looks like; they believe the wedding vows are just for fun. So many couples are not willing to neglect some aspect of their lives for their partners, which has caused a lot of homes to be broken. Gender equality has caused a whole lot of issues, where the man sees his wife as a roommate instead of a helper, as the Holy Book has taught us. And the woman sees the man as if they are both equal in the family, which sometimes brings disrespect and causes issues.
Patient is a key tool our parents used, but it's lost in this generation. Marriage is not a bed of roses because there is always ups and downs. Any little mistakes will be taken so seriously, and it has led to so many broken homes, and it's so heartbreaking. Many do not study their partners before taking the vow.
Tolerance, in as much as you can tolerate your family I see no reason why couples can't tolerate each other except the act of domestic violence. They have forgotten the word for better or worse. I saw a video that went viral one certain time where the couple were taking their vow and the wife said for richer for richer. It's funny, right, but I tell you she might not be able to endure when there is a little challenge.
Money has blinded so many ladies in the 21st century. All they are after is wealth, making sure they look good, and also trying to secure property for themselves. Imagine taking marriage as an investment. I remember when I and my friend were discussing marriage, she said, and I quote, "Mama Lagos is using her marriage for investment reasons, why she has many husbands, and make sure she has a child with the man before going." . I wonder why ladies take marriage as an investment. There is no atom of love in most marriages, but there is a negative notion behind them taking the vows.
Many marriages are broken because of the wrong motive, which has affected many homes and children.
