The Lost Art of Commitment
Lamenting changing values in relationships
Saving oneself
For a husband
Once was the norm
Faithfulness until death
Used to be a virtue
Life long commitment
Was longed for
Now there are checklists
Three strikes and you’re out
Go your way
I’ll go mine
Vows no longer
Taken seriously
Everyone
Makes up their own
Holy matrimony
Seems a joke
For richer and poorer
In sickness and in health
Are past memories
For better or worse
Forsaking all others
Seems like a punch line
What God has joined
Perhaps He didn’t
Let no man put assunder
Don’t let anyone tear you apart
Couple give up
Walk away
Without outside help
