Excesses shatter many extraordinary love affairs, causing beautiful relationships to become miscellaneous moments. Marriage is a precious relationship that can end with a bittersweet good-bye good luck or a bitter good riddance. Vows before God and to one another were forgotten that were meant to last a lifetime. Promises start out really meaning somethin', but end up nothin' special.
Commitment to marriage, the blade swings both ways on this topic, but I'm talking about men. So many of us are too careless, unconcerned and foolish as it relates to our wives. I watched my mother go through so much and never forgot it.
After reading the content, I ask every husband, every husband to be to ponder what is said. Perhaps, what is read here will provoke a deeper appreciation for what a man has in a wife and the seriousness of a commitment such as marriage.
Many men think because they are carrying a torch for that special lady, a marriage proposal is the right answer at the time. It is the wrong question to ask far too often. For when the answer is yes, the love of ones life can turn on a whim or change because of misconduct, which is miscast as a mistake.

And you don't throw away a vow because someone else threw away their vow. So how does a husband forgets his wife is a good catch, the catch of a lifetime? How can he not remember she isn't an ordinary girl, she isn't to be treated less than special? Why did it slip his mind she is supposed to be loved like no other, at least loved as he loved her when he ask her to share her life with him? Ain't he supposed to love her just a little more each day? She is to be respected to the 'nth degree and cherished for he called her the love of his life. How can he mistreat the one who is supposed to mean more to him than anyone else, including the one he is running around with? He is not supposed to offer her regrets.
Many forget or ignore this is the woman they said they'd lay down their life for. So many start lookin'
