Yeah, that old "till death do you part" vow is SO last century.
Our divorce rate is way too high..many marriages could probably be saved. That being said I would never want to go back to the "good old days" where people felt they had to stay in a bad marriages due to religious or social pressures.
My wife and I are very senior citizens and having been married and in love for over 57 years. We look askance at the marriages of our sons. We, wife and I,have had our spats but the bond of our marriage has many ties. She was a very attractive Swedish maiden visiting with relatives. I was just out of college after WWII service trying to establish myself in the engineering field and not to bad of a looking guy. I have to admit there was a mutual physical attraction which never hurts in setting up a relationship. However, we were married on/with a financial shoestring, saving pennies for special occasions. I am positive that when my wife said yes she really intended to be my career and emotional supporter. I can honestly say that my thoughts were to give my wife a life that satisfied her home and emotional expectations of marriage. My wife has never,and I emphasize never, even in arguments uttered any vulgar or profane word/expression. I asked her about this and she said that was the way she was raised and taught to behave. My point in this story is that in marriage ,man and women, each party must have the welfare of the other party first and foremost and have character to do such.
