Wedding Vows are a Warning! Pay Attention!

The Bad Times
 by Frank Kermit

The Bad Times is when your commitment to marriage
matters the most.
 
Anyone can keep themselves
in check to keep a promise
when things are great.
 
You make the decision to be married
with someone
to remind you of why you made that decision
when times are bad.
 
And over the course
of a long term relationship
things WILL get bad.
 
Even the best relationships
have periods where things are less than ideal
and those periods
could last from days to weeks, months, and even years.
 
Then again,
what are 4-5 rough years
compared to what a 40 year relationship is suppose to mean?
 
In Good Times, and in Bad,
In Sickness and in Health
is not just a saying...it is a warning....
 
It is letting you know what you are signing up for.
 
Can you handle the expectations of marriage
that you and your partner agree too
when things go bad?
 
If you aren't sure,
then you have some homework to do.
