Marriage and Commitment

Again I loved how Jeff put this in the discussion we are still having regarding Catholic marriage (I am a firm believer that when married you try 200% to keep that marriage intact):

You are allowed to promise a lifetime commitment.But once you promise and God does His work, you cannot pretend that you didn't make it.The point is simply that you are free to promise. But if you are forced to promise or you are in a position where you promise is meaningless, then you aren't bound.I find that kind of complete commitment very freeing. And it seems to me that it's part of love to say, "I will be yours no matter what."You are free of worry about what your course should be. You have made your decision and you know where you future is: With your spouse.Didn't work well? Try harder!
