Tuesday, December 7, 2010 Will you, _________________ take this man/lady _________________ to be your wedded husband/wife, to live together in the legal estate of matrimony? Will you love him/her, comfort him/her, honour and keep him/her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to him/her, so long as you both shall live? That's the marriage vow i heard not long ago. If you take note of the phrasing used. Each and every single word has it's significance. A significance of unchanging and faithful love, and respect in every manner. But it is rather saddening to note the, being human the way we are, we are often caught up with the event itself when the couples take the vow. How they or we in time to come, will so carelessly allow words of such importance slip through our lips... Just to get things done. Well I've not made such a vow yet. But such values can be practiced nevertheless. To me, there is no reason for one to practicing these values only after marriage. I'll try to put in the effort. But i guess not many others do so. I have hoped tat times like this could have came... during a time when i have lesser things to brood about in mind. But 3 days just before my first paper, during a sem i know i cant miss to do well. Things are really starting to go my way. As i look through the phone book for someone to seek refuge in, there was no one. 1step forward... 10 steps behind. All the effort put in. And im back to where i was. i'm so sure of what i feel inside 10:40 PM |
