"Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." -- Mark 10:9.
Nowadays, it is true that the sanctity of marriage is being taken for granted. They’re making marriage an event equals to a birthday party that you could celebrate every year, but that’s a mentality far wrong than adding 1 plus 1 and getting a sum of 4. And to make things worse, to annul a marriage is like buying a piece of candy from a sari-sari store.
From Hollywood celebrities to just the local ones, ending a marriage is becoming a hot trend. One modern example that the article provides is just the recent Kris Aquino and James Yap’s marriage annulment. It’s as if their marriage was just some agreement that they had on paper that they could easily turn down just because they felt things between them couldn’t really be worked out anymore. Years from now, I wouldn’t wonder if baby James will turn out to be one delinquent individual – and all to blame is one decision his parents have made – by choosing to end their relationship.
Marriage is a lifelong commitment of two souls who vowed to be together, forever. It is more than just putting a ring on your lover’s finger. It is more than just a word of mouth. It is more than a signature printed on a piece of paper. It is, rather, a covenant made in front of God, in his holy altar with no exchange, no return, no retreat and no surrender. It’s a promise to always be there for each other for life, sa hirap at ginhawa.
I would never forget my nanay’s words of wisdom for me about this. That marriage is not like a spoonful of hot rice that you take in your mouth, and then you spit out after you get burnt. And I know God is on my side as He says:
“I hate divorce." -- Malachi 2:16.
