One of the most debated topic in the society is "Marriage" the phrase "for better for worse" has always been questioned, what does it really mean?, does it mean "do or die?", does it mean every couple must endure all they face in that marriage under any circumstances?
This topic has been treated many occasions, and I think I have my own definition of it now. The fact that Endurance and commitment is vital in marriage doesn't mean that one has to endure in under all circumstances, there are limits to the endurance, sometimes, staying back will do more harm than good.
The meaning " for better for worse" is not "do or die" it is only preached so that every couple should know that marriage won't always be rosy all the time, every couples will face disagreement, challenges ,alot of unexpected occurrences, so this please help inform them that their patience, endurance, loyalty, forgiveness is required during this period, they have to continue to be in oneness and support each other during those tribulation.
Most people misinterpret the word "worse" in it as terrifying, people there is "worse" word in it doesn't mean,you should be there even if it is going to claim your life, marriage is never preached to break one's life, physically or emotionally,there are limits to the word "worse" use in "for better for worse" phrase.
When one partner has gone violence, or constantly cheating, emotional abuse, some lose respect for their partner, no vows tells you to stay in marriage when you are about to lose ur sanity because of your partner, when trust is lost, love is lost, partner no longer consider themselves, then, there is no point staying there, destructive habits should never be looked away, they trained to be forgiveness but that is only if the partner is remorseful enough, willing to change but if not, then it's not worth waiting, cos your sanity is at stake there .
For better for worse doesn't mean do or die , it means commitment, endurance that has limits.
