New Generation Marriage Vows Are Gone

(11/2/11) This is the first day of your new life This is the day you chose to be his wife. You both feel that your love is strong enough That a marriage you could share And for each other you would always be there. A marriage are vows that are made to each other That you will always “ love one another”. You say you will love each other until death do you part Is it what you feel? Is it really in your heart? The vows of marriage has changed drastically Marriage is not - what it used to be. Fear of the unknown has changed the way you think Six out of ten marriages are now on the brink. Living common law is now the new rage They don’t want to feel like they’re Locked up in a cage. It’s easy to walk away from a relationship If there are no vows. And if there’s any children, they’ll survive somehow. We don’t need a marriage certificate to Have a sexual affair. We can change partners, and different beds we can share. This is the thinking of the youth of today All our teachings and values have all gone astray.
