Female

I, _____, take you ______, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness.


From many of the wedding vows samples, I decided to quote the above statement.
Listening to married people talking, makes me think that it is not that easy to act their vows. Ckckck...
I haven't been trough that, that's why I was saying its' their vows.
You say it less than 5 mins, but you live it all your life.

So one of the married people once said, though he mean it or not, "if I knew she is going to get sick like this since we were dating, I won't marry her."  I see it that he was in high pressure then he popped that line.  Although he is, I don't think it's a wise reaction.
After a short argument with another married woman in giving comment to an actor's wife who decided to leave the actor (I don't know what exactly the reason is) because the husband is sick for years (as far as I know, she was there for him all this time), this married woman said : "well, not to leave the spouse right away, but taking care for some years..." whewww!!!
Hopefully that's something that's not gonna happen if anything happens to her marriage life.
Anyways, do they have marriage vows??

Maybe before getting married, a couple should sit down together and break down the meaning of each words from the marriage vow they're gonna be saying to each other, like how it is "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness".  Let's not talk about all the good things above, let's talk about the negative words above : "worse" how far will you stay for your spouse? "poor" will you still stick with your spouse if he/she loose his/her job? lost his/her house? lost his/her possession, no place to live, no money to use? will you? "sickness" can you imagine, when you just got married and you found out that your spouse have a serious illness, will you say "I should have not marry him/her"? like you'll be the one who has to support him and pay all his bills, will you still stay? and you're pregnant by that time. That's how worse a marriage life could be... a spouse can get into an accident and looses his/her body part, and life goes on... you still have to stick to the same man, when you really mean what you say.. especially when you say it's your VOW...

That is why, be thankful, be happy, be joyful, when you have a healthy spouse, be thankful if he/she only had flu or some there-is-a-medicine-for-this illness, when you have a house to live, money to buy your needs (be really happy when you have the chance to buy your "wants"), when you're spouse have a job, when your family problem is not a big problem after all...
