Marriage Post

Right now on Facebook there is a post being put up titled marriage. Kinda scary how much it relates to the life of my sister. The people who are sharing it so far are the typical SAHM mom types who generally don't think for themselves. I'm sure it will be shared by more as well. Things like this scare me from marriage for myself and others. If I heard from someone that they were getting a divorce and there wasn't another person involved, then I really would be shocked. I would have to be convinced. We stop really loving because we've given our love to another. Shoot, God even said you can't love two masters. NOT THAT ANYONE IN A MARRIAGE HAS A RIGHT TO BE A MASTER! When time and thoughts are more focused on someone other than the one the ring was given to, then there is a problem. It even happens in friendships as well. The only difference is that vows aren't said between friends. God intends us to have silver and gold friendships, but those don't even compare to what God wants in marriage. It takes way too much forgiveness and trust to do....those of you who pull it off...congrats for you for every hour that you do it. My granny pitt did it for 51 years even when it was hard...if only we could use that wisdom more in our relationship.
What really got to me was towards the end of the story. The anger that the "james" character has towards the adulterer. James is in the beginning and fun stages...not the tough ones. Probably a friend is trying to show that, but James blocks out the truth in hopes of the love.
Again..no one can love two masters.

Now just how does the James and the one asking for the divorce grasp this point beyond their being so twitterpatted that another marriage will be ruined?
