When is it okay to throw in the towel? Or, if is ever acceptable to throw in the towel unless you are in an abusive marriage? In the old days people stuck it out no matter what. If dad cheated with Sallie Mae down the street, so what. Mom either cried her eyes out until he promised not to do it again (A promise rarely kept), or she got a June Bug of her own. They did what they had to do to keep the family together. Breaking up the family was not an option. Somewhere down the road things changed. Women stopped taking all of that crap, and men stop taking the crap they were tired of too. The nagging constantly, "Irreconcilabile Differences". The cheating continuously or just even one time, "Irreconcilabile differences". You see someone you like better who treats you better and listens to you during your secret lunchtimes at work, "Irreconcilable differences". Where did we go wrong? Did we start jumping the broom too fast (I mean I have heard of people getting married after a week of knowing each other), or did we just think we were "in love" when really we were in lust. I don't know, but I do know that people are not staying in marriages and taking their vows as seriously as they did when I was growing up. And who suffers for this? Who gets caught up in this? The children. That's who I feel sorry for. But what is worse is that it is so common now that it isn't a big deal to the kids anymore. Most of them already have friends who have divorced parents and although it hurt at first, they quickly learned that having two sets of houses to go to and two parents competing for your love is really not so bad after all. What a shame! We have got to do something about this epidemic and stop letting satan destroy our marriages, homes, and families. The devil is running rampant in our homes and destroying them and we have got to stop it here and now!
