Married couples these days have a hard time keeping their vows. It is not uncommon to see a married man frolicking with two ladies on his arm in a nite club, while his heavily pregnant wife is preparing dinner at home and trying to calm down the stubborn 3 year old.
A lot of values and sanctity for the vows taken during marriage has long been lost. If one tries to trace the actual time in which it was lost, one would most likely meet a quagmire sometime between the 1970 generation and the 1980s. This was the time when all sorts of genre of music became pleasing to the ear, fashion took a turn on its head and youths began listening to advices from societal misfits in the name of music. This social malady slowly crept into families and homes and it soon became the norm for husbands to practice what the songs preached (and they sure didn’t preach good). Most of the themes in the songs revolved around loose women, Casanova men, late night partying, heavy drinking, and general lifestyle of the rich and famous. Little wonder then why the youths of that era take their marriage vows for granted. Also one should not be quick to put down the ladies who feel that what a man can do, a woman can do better, so when they see their husbands cheat openly on them, they tend to pay him back in his coin (though the way the go about theirs is somewhat more daring).
Marriage is a blessed union between two people who now become one. So everything ought to be done together. Married couples work as a team in the bedroom, so why can’t they work as a team in the boardroom? Even though society these days is dictating what is right and wrong to us, time should still be taken to consider the true values of marriage. The family is the smallest unit of the society and it is a strong marriage that results in a solid family.
For those of you still waiting for the question to be answered, one would feel perturbed about that. The answer is quite clear and unambiguous and it’d rather be a rhetorical question.
