"57% of marriages in SG end with divorces"... so said Father yesterday.

how awful!

*sad

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so.

yesterday's Homily dealth with Marriage and Family.

both are very important to me.

Fr. talked about how young couples get together now, and all they want is to Have Fun.

they live each day together enjoying life... fine dining... holidays... sex... all things that are their ideas of Fun.

they think of making lots of money, getting rich...

they worry about their investments and their many Cs...

they work, work, work somemore...

they get married one day, talk of divorce the next.

or at the first sign of hardships that might be coming...

i personally know of so many friends who come from broken families.

thankfully most of these friends aren't bad peeps.

bad like, you know, some of those scums of society we see out there...

but there must be those less lucky ones...

those that end up living most of their time on the streets. bumming around. turning to drugs and whatnots.

oh oh oh! those that look at their parents broken marriage and grow up to become just like them.

the vicious cycle repeats itself.

wtf.

how is it that people can treat their marriages that way? their families... do the people who make up their family unit not matter? or maybe i should ask, are the members of their family units not dear and important enough to them, for a married couple to want to work on and work out whatever issues the Devil is throwing at them, to break up their marriage?

i'm a mess with this entry.

just need to get this out of my system.

am very, very disturbed by how people take marriage and having a happy, healthy family so lightly!

really REALLY pray for God's guidance towards working on and keeping my relationships with my loved ones.

am fully aware it is not, and will not be easy.

but i trust in the Lord to watch over Us and pray for Him to shine His Light and lead the way for Us to build and keep a healthy, happy relationship.
