 We say these words, or a version of them, in our wedding vows, along with "'Til death us do part," or a similar version as well. Some may know the personal issues I'm currently experiencing in my own marriage, some may not. The details are irrelevant to this blog post, but it has certainly got me thinking, and I'd love to hear from all my readers. No trolling or you will be removed, and always show your fellow comment-ers some respect for their opinion, because nobody is every 100% correct when it comes to opinion. That said, here's what I want to hear from you...
...are your vows 100%, 'til death us do part? Or, is there some point in which you say that enough is enough? What is/would be that point for you, and why? Doesn't matter which portion of your vows you would like to discuss, any of them are "open season" in this discussion. And let the fun begin!

Honestly, I take my vows into account a LOT. I love my husband dearly. Don't get me wrong, I have definitely contemplated what situation it would take to give me the freedom to cross those vows. I have been through a lot of turmoil in my relationship but I always try to work through it. If there can not be a working solution found for both parties that provide a happiness and re-connection in your marriage, this is when I believe that divorce is almost inevitable. Once you disconnect yourself emotionally and physically from your marriage, there very rarely is a fix. That being said, I believe almost any problem can be worked through whether between the two of you or with the aid of professionals. If these steps are taken and there still is no spark left between you, maybe then consider divorce but at every moment make sure to take your partners feelings into the process because you will be surprised how they may react. There are so many divorces that are filed for that are ended because the emotional toil and drive to not be a failing statistic they may change the way you look at them!
I agree, definitely discuss with your spouse before taking action. The only exception I feel, would be if you're in an abusive relationship, in which case, just leave and never look back. That would be one of my reasons for ending a marriage, because I feel that the abuser would have broken many MANY vows at that point. I'm sure that there are other situations in which I might have to say, that's enough, but I'd like to hear from other folks as well. Leave a Reply. |
