I take any vows seriously, whether they be for my sorority, my wedding, or anything else. I don't think you can judge and say "Oh, this is a vow I can break, but this one isn't." But look at how many people nowadays break their marriage vows. With people breaking vows that sacred, I'm not surprised people don't take their GLO vows seriously. It makes me sad. [/B][/QUOTE]

*grinning widely at this one*
I think there is an assumption that because one shares with her husband, she is taking her GLO vows "lightly" and I would have to disagree. because our interpretations are just different in terms of what we consider to be a broken vow....for me, when two people are joined together in marriage, sharing with that spouse is *not* breaking a vow because you are now ONE. I would not make the same argument for sharing this information with my brother, my sister, my mom, my dog, my cat, etc....

I understand that some may not view this spiritual connection with your spouse in the same way as i do....and that's up to you....but it seems odd not to allow for the possibility that those who do to be just as "serious" about their vows as others.

And, I had to grin at the "just in it for four years" assumption....as this is so not true in my case. Generalizations are rarely a good idea.
