Forsaking All Others!
Hey y'all what's up? I've been thinking a lot about the part of the marriage vow that talks about forsaking all others. For all of you out there, do you really know what this means? I have a cousin who's wife,, since day one, has been nothing but trouble. They have a sadistic cycle of her infidelties, and several seperations. They recently separated, and this time he said that he had had enough. Well once again, they are back together. Now I'm from the south and I have a lot of Hens in my family. They are fed up with his wife to the point that she no longer accompanies him to family function. Now I fee like they do, but I also feel like their problems are between them and God, who supposedly ordained this marriage. I'm wondering, why they can't see it that way. I know they mean well, but II think that they are borderline, straight out interfering. So that brings me to the topic, do we as in-laws, family and friends really understand that our role is to be a sympathetic ear but not to get involved to the point where it threatens the union, even if we feel it's in our loved ones best interest. I know sometimes it's hard, and it seems as if women have a harder time with this than men do. You married folks out there, ever experience. I see marriage in my near future. How do you handle this?
