Marital Statement "For Better or For Worse."

Warm greetings to all the noble steemians in the @steem4nigeria community. It's a pleasure to be here to share my ideas and perspective about marriage, and all thanks go to @josepha for organizing this contest.

⭐ What do you understand by this statement, "for better for worse," in the marriage institution?

The statement "For better for worse is a statement that sounds interesting and easy for some people to say. But for me, it's one of the strongest and most deadly statements. It is a statement that binds two people 👫(couple) together.

I also see this statement as a statement of the covenant that's being made in the church before the congregation whenever a couple is about to be joined together. Before making this promise you, first of all, have it in mind that, good and difficult times will come in life, but in whatever situation you find yourselves, the two of you will never part ways, but forever you will love, cherish, support, and stand by each other.

In summary, for better for worse simply refers to a statement of promise or covenant between people who are to become husband and wife. The promise is all about sticking to each other in whatever circumstances or challenges that life will bring your way. Both in good and difficult situations, you will still be together.

⭐ Do you support this moral statement "for better or worse" in the marriage institution during wedding ceremonies? If yes! Or no! Please kindly give reasons for your answers because you might be a helper and problem solver.

For better for worse is the only statement that is holding thousands of families together. If not for that promise, many people could have experienced a broken home, and many children could have grown up without the love of both parents.

Whenever there is a problem in a family, and you feel like filing for a divorce, the promise you took on alter crosses your mind, and you will be left with no choice but to be patient and continue with the marriage.

I support the statement 100℅ because if not for it, divorce could have been the topic of the day in every family. But thank God for that statement of promise.

⭐ Do you have personal experience suffering from a situation of this kind, or have you heard of it from others?

As a bachelor, I have no personal experience, and I have never taken such an oath in any aspect of my life. Nevertheless, I have on thousands of occasions heard people taking the oath. As I earlier mentioned, there is no Christian marriage that will ever take place without both the groom and the bride making such a promise.

As in the case of people suffering from the statement, I once heard a man telling his wife that she is the worst thing that ever happened to him. And if not for the promise he took on the altar, he could have divorced her. The wife responded by saying, assuming I knew this is how you are, I couldn't have accepted to even go into a relationship with you in the first place. I so much believe that both of them are suffering from that statement.

⭐ If you were to change or encourage/refashion this statement "for better or worse," what would be your options that could reasonably solve the issue, aiming at having peaceful families in general?

Talking from a Christian perspective, there is no other way to rephrase the statement. The reason is, to me, the statement is perfect, and I believe so much in it. As such, for better for worse should be an oath that each couple around the world takes to take away broken homes.

How do you think society will look if children grow up without the love and training of both parents? I believe it will be a total disaster because to be a responsible member of society, you must first of all be trained to act by the ways of society, and you can only behave well if your parents train you well.

Conclusion

For better for worse is a statement that I so much respect because I believe it's playing a part in shaping our homes and our lives in general. Nevertheless, if you feel the time will come that you might not be able to tolerate your partner, then it's better not to take the oath. I now invite @yakspeace, @ophinebabe, and @adekunle01 to participate.
