What happened to our oath and why? love, honor, and respect... till death do us part words promised to God, the most High. Which we soon find weary a sacrament given by God taken for granted just a year or decade after we marry. Isn't it a commitment made to your new spouse and to Heavenly Father that your best will be your daily vow? Why then...are you soon roused? There was no clause that said only if I'm in the mood, or if my job doesn't intrude, or I'm too tired, I want to go to bed. It angers me to hear all the crying for not complying with this contract made with God... Infedelity, drunkenness, and lying. We will have to answer to him when dying; what will you say? Do you think He will believe all the excuses as told to your partner for never trying? Of course He won't believe what you say He'll make you take a hard look inside at all the times you failed to give, when you could That's okay for now, as long as it's later before you pay. What greater crime could we possibly commit than to break our contract with the most High? ------------------ Julie ------------------------- Almost all our misfortunes in life come from the wrong notions we have about the things that happen to us. >Stendhal |

All it will take for us to awake and find the true meaning of living, is to love from within and see the bliss in, the honest true value of giving. Very well expressed Julie ! |

Vows are dangerous creatures ... they have a way of coming back to bite the one that swore them. I agree with you that they should only be taken in the greatest and most unrelenting faith. Well put. --Kess ------------------ You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |
