HOW ARE WE TO BELIEVE IN MARRIAGE?

Sir, 

It is not a great pleasure to see what regular home-wreckers have done to wives as well as their children. It all starts with a simple affair, thinking that even though things happen in broad daylight, the wife will never know because he thinks he can handle her, or vice versa. 

What has this world come to if we have forgotten how lying to the old man up there has consequences? You stand at the altar, make your vows, which are full of promises and the most important, till death do us part, in front of witnesses and a pastor. 

What has it come to when marriage has become a money-making scheme, a spare of the moment thing, a commitment so easily broken? What happened to the meaning of commitment? 

On top of such unanswerable questions that have to do with 21st century ‘trends’, we have home-wreckers, side dishes or rather the secrets hidden under the ring, or as they say, the ‘handcuffs’ of freedom. Not only are we talking about men but women too. 

But we are not on the point of which gender does what differently, we are on the fact that there have become too many home-wreckers and it is not only the partners who suffer but the children too. 

Yes, it all starts with the idea of having an affair, having the fun you think you have lost in your marriage, having the thrill of secrecy and probably enjoying having the best of both. 

Believe

Have we lost our morals, our faith, love and honesty mostly? How are we youngsters supposed to believe in the name of marriage when we see it crumble in front of our eyes? There are just too many questions that need answers but I doubt that the home-wreckers will be able to answer them. 

Even so, it is safe to say it is not only the mistresses or young men who are at fault. The married ones who go astray and don’t think about their families are as much at fault. How do you promise to love one person and go and fall in love with someone else, engage in sexual intercourse and share secrets when you should be doing that with your life partner? 

The way things are going, we are starting to see marriage as a thing to do without checking if the both of you are even ready for such a commitment, if raising a family will be your number one priority. 

Children never really heal from the divorce their parents have. It leaves a huge scar that takes more than decades to heal and that sometimes leads to them pushing away all chances of happiness because of fear. 

We all need a place where we can feel safe, and if it’s not within a family setup, what is the point? Why must the next person suffer for your adultery? Be adults and control your emotions.
