[quote=JSUMMERS83,330942]In America, a ceremony isn't always performed in a church, but when it is, vows are almost always involved. Although GAFFER is certainly correct in saying that many vows are spoken without any understanding or little thought to their meaning, in this day and age where divorce is so rampant, I believe vows - whether done in the ceremony or privately - are more important than ever! If you don't plan on staying with that person for the rest of your life, taking care of them when they are sick, and being faithful only to them...why get married? Why sign a contract if you don't plan on honoring it? I sat my wife down before we got married, before our wedding, and looked her in the eye and told her that I will not cheat on her and I will not divorce her. Some people may laugh and tell me its a dream, I'm too young to really understand the complexities of marriage, but I know it's possible and I am resolved to honor that promise. During our wedding the only reason I said the vows was to show my wife that I was willing to make that statement public and put my reputation on the line for the sake of our relationship. Guess you'll just have to check with me 10 years down the road to see if I've still kept that promise. 4 happy years and counting...[/quote]
