OK, well let's just amend our rituals to add:
"...unless someone I love really has a bug up his ass about it, in which case kindly disregard the previous three paragraphs. So help me god."
If a woman that I’m considering marrying has a bug up her ass because I am choosing to honor a previous obligation which in no way conflicts with her life or our relationship, then that would weigh heavily on my decision whether to marry her. It’s a big red flag that maybe she’s not as wonderful reasonable fantastic as she might seem.
Plus… your wonderful reasonable fantastic hypthetical spouse after 10 years of marriage may find a wonderful reasonable fantastic hypothetical mistress, then hire a wonderful reasonable fantastic hypothetical divorce attorney. Do you think the things that were told in confidence during the marriage will now stay that way? Aren't you glad you broke your sacred oath and obligation for that wonderful guy who cheated on you and then revealed your ritual? Think this example is far-fetched?
Once you start down the road of qualifying and ranking your vows, putting one in front of another, you’re lost. People come in and out of our lives. The one thing that remains is the man or the woman in the mirror. And if you can’t honor a solemn obligation that you took in good faith, then you are not worthy of identifying yourself with all the other people who wear your letters and ARE keeping their word to protect the sanctity of those letters.
