More Couples Divorce After Decades Of Marriage : NPR.
I am not sure how I feel about this. It is all about marriage, and how people are living longer. The Gores are one couple they speak about, where there was no infidelity, no issues with the marriage and they are just unhappy with the relationship, and the fact that there was no problems, we can not say that the marriage is a failure.
I disagree. Marriage is not about love, marriage is a commitment to the covenant we make in the vows we say that day. Love fades and wains. Love is a fickle thing that changes by our other emotions and the alignment of the stars and the planets, and can not be the basis of marriage. It is the fact that we are tired of dealing with the commitment we made, so I can get a divorce.
Marriage can not be about the kids, or the love for the other. These of course are factors. And no I am not saying that divorce is wrong in all cases, but just because the spark is not there? Is that what it is really all about? Is it really all about how I feel and what makes me feel good?
If God’s grace and love for us was based on his feeling good about us where would we be?
Society is doing what feels good and what makes us feel good, and this is not what we as christians are called to be…
