What does that mean anyway??

Does that mean till you drive them crazy enough to kill you? OR does it mean till they drive you crazy enough to make you kill them?

Who came up with that anyway?? Was it some test they put in to see how far people will go to fulfill their promises?

I think that there are different levels in life and It can mean the end of the couple’s purpose for being together; once the purpose is fulfilled, the union no longer needs to continue…

Now before you get all angry and have an essay that you firmly believe needs to mailed to me as set out in Clause B let me point a few things out first…

When two people meet and grow in love, the purpose of their meeting is to help each other in a certain area, on a certain level of their lives… Of course there is nothing wrong with traditional marriage. It is a lovely concept… Really..

With all of the single parents in society today, however, this idea of “till death do us part” needs clarification…

Think about your own relationships or marriages… Was there one where you fell in love at first sight? And did you discover after a while that that particular partner had provided you with an opportunity for personal growth – an opportunity to awaken those aspects that had been dormant within you? And after you grew, did you still want that same person to remain as your partner?

Judging from the statistics on divorce… My guess is that about half of the people reading this would answer “no.” Someone entered your life; as a result of that relationship, you grew to be more of who you really are. When the relationship fulfilled its purpose, you no longer felt the need to remain together, so you went your separate ways…

So, it is not that marriage is right or wrong, good or bad…I am not trying to sound cynical!.. I don’t think I am anti Marriage…

I think it is a wonderful thing to be with one person for as long as the relationship is of mutual benefit, to help each other grow, to explore life, to engage your minds in new areas. But to remain together because of some recited obligation, long after you do not fit into each other’s life, long after you have stopped growing and have no common purpose – that is the same as signing a contract with an employer stating, “I will work here, in this job, until death do us part. And no matter how my interests or life goals change, no matter how dissatisfied I am with this job, no matter how many other areas of my life I could fulfill if I were to have a different job, I will still stay with you as long as I live.” OUCH! I don’t know about you but I don’t think I want to sign that contract!…

These are just my feelings on this … I don’t think I am jaded when it comes to marriage.. I just think I will be writing my own vows next time around.. !!
