Have You Performed
Your Vow Today?
Standing before a large crowd of friends, another young couple solemnly exchanged wedding vows. The minister asked the groom, "Do you faithfully promise and covenant with God in the presence of these witnesses to take so-and-so to be your lawful wedded wife-in sickness and in health, in good times and in difficult times, for as long as you both shall live?"
He then asked the question of the bride. Both joyfully said, "I do."
But would they?
In much of the Western world many couples do not honor their vows by staying together as husband and wife. The tragedy of divorce dismantles a significantly high number of households. The pain of failed marriages is experienced all too often. Although every failed marriage has its own sad tale, several common misunderstandings contribute to the problem.
Marriage more than a physical relationship
Debates over mankind's origin don't help. The common-and erroneous-view that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution explains our existence is confusing and detrimental to marriages. The theory classifies man as part of the animal kingdom. Though placed at the top of a hierarchy of animals because of his superior skills and abilities, such thinking degrades humanity and hides the fact that God created us to be part of His Kingdom.
