So today i got a cal from one of my very good friend that one of our friends that got married late last year is recently divorced. I was quite shock considering that they were barely 5 months when they got separated.
"I promise to love, honor and cherish you...," the proverbial vows we've all witnessed at one wedding ceremony or another, each person taking a vow to be with the other forever, a serious and deep commitment for sure. Yet today's divorce rate still hovers around 50%.
Why? Are we just a society full of vow breakers, who don't put much integrity into our words? The statistics say one in two people will break their vows because of issues like infidelity, abuse, sex and money, however, if you look deeper, you'll see that those are just symptoms of a cause that was present way before the marriage, engagement, and even the dating. The real problem starts when we are single, and continues to wreak havoc as we create relationships. The real culprit? You. The real problem? You forgot to make some very critical promises first with the most important partner in your life, yourself.
The fact is that every relationship starts and ends with the relationship we first have with ME. So before you go making any promises to anyone else, take the following ME-Vows with yourself, and then get started living them.
Stay tuned for more on the "ME Vows".
Stay Blessed.
You have no Limit!
