Why Not Make It Last

When you take a Woman/Man to be your Husband/Wife,
you vow for it to be for life. 
your forever partner,
for no Man to put asunder.
vows are made, not to be broken.
they are made to God and your spouse, when spoken.
we create a state of confusion in our children's lives
with step/Mom's/Dad's, ex wives.
half Sister from another Mister, Brother from another Mother.
has society made it so easy for us?
or have our churches made it just?
In law's, step siblings, half siblings, step Mother, step Father,
what a web we weave.
if we would simply take our vows to heart
things would be so much better for all. i believe.
