Just because many people have lost sight of it
does not mean the sanctity of marriage has died.
Just because the general consensus may be that infidelity, homosexuality, lying, sex outside of marriage, and divorce are “socially acceptable” practices doesn’t make them any less wrong.
So you’re saying people like me are wrong? We’re wrong because we don’t believe in what you believe? We’re wrong because we think for ourselves? We’re wrong because we do as we please? That makes us wrong?
Sorry if my post was unclear, Jackie. I’m not trying to call anyone out as a bad person or imply that there is anything wrong with having the ability to think for ourselves and make decisions for our lives. What I am trying to say is that there are certain practices that human beings shouldn’t do. For example, we join clubs like Amnesty because we want to speak out for those who have their rights withheld from them, don’t we? Why? Because we believe that that kind of treatment is wrong and shouldn’t be happening to human beings. I mean, in regards to the marriage issue, would you be okay with your husband lying to you, cheating on you, or abusing you just because he doesn’t believe that marriage should be honest, respectful, and faithful? Although people might say that there are no set standards for how humans ought to treat each other, they would quickly retract their statement if any such hurtful or degrading act were performed towards them. My point of the blog was to emphasize that even though we live in a society that often seems to look at marriage as a joke because of our 50% divorce rate and all of the problems it encounters because of the acts I mentioned, it doesn’t mean that the sanctity of marriage is dead and that it isn’t worth preserving. No one said you shouldn’t have the choice to believe otherwise.
Hope that helps! :)
