I've seen people living out their years together although they never promised each other anything and weren't the least bit religious. I've also seen church marriages break apart after a few years and I've seen people making each others lives a living hell, but staying together since they believed in that binding religious contract.
There's never any guarantee when two people get together. They may have made the right or the wrong choice. People do change and it's always up to the individuals if they can and want to deal with these changes in their partners.
...And that's what I said in my post 567. ;-)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
