One of the Foundations of Marriage
The foundation of a good marriage is always built upon the trust we have in our partner and the vows we made. We must be convinced of the validity and necessity of both. The vows may be brief and simple, but they are extremely profound. They are often the only vows we will ever make. Perhaps that is why they can be so frightening in today’s “liberated” society. We must keep our vow to love and honor one another, even after we discover the cost. Mike Mason says, “The saying of them [marriage vows] requires about thirty seconds. But keeping them is the work of a lifetime.”

Great quote! It amazes me to no end how divorce is so widely accepted amongst "conservative christians" here in our country with no Biblical foundations for such a sin, and yet we have the audacity to consider the homosexual community as "useless eaters" with our ungodly behavior towards lost sinners. I have never heard a good sermon in church buildling up and encouraging marriage between one man and one woman for life, but then it is difficult as divorce is so widely accepted even amongst the divorced clergy and leadership offices!
And conservatives are no more godly than liberals as it pertains to marriage....a sad observation.
