MARRIAGE assignment

“… for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part…” These vows on the sacrament of marriage are easier said than done. From the two documentaries we have watched, I realized that engaging in the sacrament of marriage entitles many duties and responsibilities. It entails a lot of preparation physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc.

Every marriage is incomplete without the exchange of vows between the husband and the wife. These are promises each partner makes to the other; promises that they should be able to keep for the rest of their lives. These vows are very important, highlighting that every marriage is a commitment and a promise to the other to stick by them and love them over everyone else and to be there through thick and thin and to work through all even if things get harder and tougher. And I believe that these vows are very much important, or else it will just be a piece of paper written by overly excited couples to marry without even knowing each other good enough.
  
Maybe this is the reason why couples all over the world end up separating or having divorce. They do not keep the promises they made during the ceremony, and more so, they do not understand the importance of it. They don’t appreciate and uphold the values of marriage, and some of them even see the vows as words required to be said in a wedding ceremony. I have heard of many people who jump into marriage quickly without fully understanding and realizing the seriousness of this way of life. The usual cliché that “nothing else matters as long as we are together” isn’t actually enough reason to get through a married life.

Marriage is a lifetime commitment. I know everybody knows it, but only few understand it. Having to care for a debilitated wife is tough, but it is the duty of the husband to do so. I would like to say my kudos and respect to the husband in the first documentary we’ve watched, who had to take care of his wife everyday of his life. I believe it is the best love story I’ve heard next to my parent’s and grandparent’s as well. They exemplified the quote “true love prevails”. Though he is currently in his thorny times, because of his true love with his partner, he will win through this difficult segment in his life. Marriage is a responsibility.

The vows on the sacrament of marriage are easier said than done. Yes, it is hard they say, but if you really love each other truthfully, there’s nothing impossible to the path you really choose. Yes, it will be a rough and tough road, but God is always and will always be there to guide and support you, since He was also one of the witnesses to the exchange of your vows when couples marry. It is also vital to realize the impending responsibility marriage entails to each couple. Responsibility is the key to a successful marriage because it is a result of love. Marriage is a responsibility. I know I mentioned it twice already, but truly, it takes full responsibility to make marriage work.

they knew it
