I am not married and have never been married but do like the idea of being married one day.
However I went to a wedding recently which was a second marriage for both the bride and groom. When they were saying their vows it hit me that they have both made those vows before so how does it make any difference this time round? I know that they were both obviously married to the wrong people before so things are different in that sense but they both still broke those vows they made which kind of makes them all a bit of a joke.
My parents are divorced so maybe I have a bit of screwed up perception of it all but if vows can be broken so easily then what is the point in making them in the first place?
I am with a long term partner and I do want to marry him but I am in no rush as don't believe marriage will change us and being married doesn't make you a better couple.
Hmmm
