When one gets married, the premise is “forever.” Ideally, a man asks a woman to marry him because he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She agrees because she feels the same way. This is why an engagement is often sealed with a diamond ring — diamonds being the strongest rock, and the circular band holding it signifying an endless union. Symbolism aside, a marriage can fail just as it can succeed. The partnership between two persons is vulnerable to many factors, which can whip the relationship and sometimes tear it to shreds. Every couple has different experiences, but as the Catholic Church teaches us, man and wife must work on the marriage, through its ups and downs, through sickness and health, for richer and poorer, till death. That is the vow we make before our God when we marry. This is why couples must reflect long and hard before taking the plunge — for a plunge it is, into unknown realms. For many, it blooms and prospers. Unfortunately, for some it fizzles and dies. In some cases, vows do get broken — promises to love and cherish are not kept, circumstances and people change, love fades.
