Divorce and Cheating " The Lady with the Dog"
After reading this story "The Lady with the Dog", I just began to wonder what makes people want to cheat? This has always been such a hard concept for me to grasp. I have also wandered why would anyone ever want a divorce? I mean is there conflict between some people that is just to great to ever be resolved? I thought this was the reason people date before they get married, or most people do. I was always taught that dating was the time you learned about each other, the good and the bad. To me that's the time when you find problems and get them fixed before you even think about marring someone. I feel if you truly love someone why would you ever think about wanting to hurt them. The bible says that the husband should love his wife just as Christ loves the church. The last time I checked Christ has never forsaken, lost love, cheated, or betrayed the church. Now and days getting married is a joke. When people stand at the alter and say those vows in front of there family and most of all a Holy God promising to love and cherish that person forever, they should mean it. Now I understand that I have never been married. But just seeing how marriage's are today makes me want to work five times harder when I do get married to have marriage that is full of love, forgiveness, and faithfulness.

Wonderful topic! I agree that the man should love his wife like Jesus loves the church. But, we're sinners. No matter what we do, we'll never ever satisfy and never be perfect. It's the flaws that makes us stronger. I know that sounds crazy but we grow from it as we make mistakes. Sometimes getting caught up in marriage, people usually forget why they did it. Everyone just needs an assurance once and a while. And as for the cheating, there is not reason why people do it. They just do it because they don't know what they want and that's silly. But I'm sure you know what you want in life, so don't worry too much about marriage because I know you're going to make your marriage work! (:
ReplyDeleteI agree, now days, people do treat marriage as a joke. Yes, dating is meant for getting to know the other person and working out your differences if you both want the relationship to last, but I think that so many people are getting married faster and faster these days, so they don't have the full dating experience. Also, if you are not living with the person while you are dating, that could pose a big problem once you do get married and start living together. I know you are not supposed to live with someone unless you are married, I am just saying that that has to be a big adjustment. People just need to take their time. If it was really meant to be then there is no reason for rushing into marriage. Take your time and it should all work out(:
ReplyDeleteI agree with every word you said I don't even care to get married after knowing how high the divorce rate is now. I want my marriage to mean something and to be happy I don't want a cheater! My parents have been married for 25 years and dated for 8 before they married so I will be taking my time before rushing into something so serious.
