Scandalous

I remember when I was a child growing up that you didn’t have the scandalous reports on cheating, affairs, and sexting being reported 24/7. How is that not to far ago our parents were happier, people believed in love and marriage. Now who is to say that love and marriage last a lifetime, I mean we are lucky to make it to 10 years. I remember when the 25 years of marriage was the Silver Wedding Anniversary. Now you’re lucky to make it ten years, that shouldn’t even be a Silver anniversary in this day and age, but it is. How is it that the Jesse James, The Arnold, Tiger Woods, Dave Letterman, and Eliot Splitzer (the list can go on forever) are public figures can justify these affairs, hookers, secret love child, with a slap on the wrist. Where is the remorse and not just for the viewers eyes, but the real true remorse for hurting their wives, children, and significant others. The media goes overboard but I too, am at fault by reading these headlines, to glorify their horrible actions, demeans the nature of faithfulness. Just because you fall in love and decide to marry, doesn’t mean it’s just for a few years until you grow tired from it for you to stray away. Marriage is a commitment between two people, the vows of matrimony : “ promise to be true, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, will love and honor, all the days of my life“. Wake up and take responsibility for your actions, we deserve honor and respect, not deceit and lies. Can we move forward to regaining control of our hearts and live from until death do us part.
