When two friends announced their engagement I was overjoyed for them. They have been dating for a little over two years and aside from a Simi rocky relationship I still felt happy for them. Them as I considered what dose make you ready to get married? These days everyone seems to be getting married and divorced within the same decade of meeting. What makes some one ready to make that big of a commitment. Do people really think about what there getting in to when they say I do?
I started to think about the vows my two friends would say. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part. How can some one stand up in front of everyone close to you and promise all that and say you’ll feel the same way till you die? The thought just can’t register in my mind not in this day and age where people’s taste change with the seasons.
It also seems that now a days people spend more time planning the wedding then they do the marriage. When a women gets proposed to she knows all the details of her wedding dress and reception hall but nothing about the life after. It’s almost like people just assume that happy ever after is just going to happen and if it doesn’t they should divorce. In a time where hard work isn’t so hard any more are we being raised not to work at anything even marriage?
