new generation marrige vows are gone
(11/2/11)
This is the first day of your new life
This is the day you chose to be his wife.
You both feel that your love is strong enough
That a marriage you could share
And for each other you would always be there.
A marriage are vows that are made to each other
That you will always “ love one another”.
You say you will love each other until death do you part
Is it what you feel? Is it really in your heart?
The vows of marriage has changed drastically
Marriage is not - what it used to be.
Fear of the unknown has changed the way you think
Six out of ten marriages are now on the brink.
Living common law is now the new rage
They don’t want to feel like they’re
Locked up in a cage.
It’s easy to walk away from a relationship
If there are no vows.
And if there’s any children, they’ll survive somehow.
We don’t need a marriage certificate to
Have a sexual affair.
We can change partners, and different beds we can share.
This is the thinking of the youth of today
All our teachings and values have all gone astray.
marriage sure isn't what it used to be. It's almost a parody of itself, a video game with a quick restart button. Brilliant write.
you have well delineated the essence of today's values... a far cry from what once was
A realistic situation we all face.
this is a true picture of todays society. All the young people I know just live together. They have no intentions of ever getting married. good write Louis.
Having be married for almost 46 years I know that marriage has to be worked at and with love and commitment it can last a lifetime. If we are not willing to commit to each other, we start off a relationship weakly. Only my opinion and I know I am "old fashioned" but how can we love without solid commitment to each other.
