Love.

If you have been on facebook this morning, then you already got a glimpse into how this really bugs me...
A little over a year ago, I stood in front of many people and vowed to my husband that I would be there until death do us part. Is there something wrong with that? According to Cameron Diaz...my vows are "bullsh**". I recently read an article where she said, "Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years? Why not break it up a bit?" (By the way, you can read this article on usmagazine.com)
Um...I would LOVE to be with my husband for 80 years. When I was "dating around", if that's what you want to call it, I was on a mission to find a soul mate. Why waste your time just dating for the rest of your life? When I found Justin, no one else and nothing else mattered except that he was happy and I was happy and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this one, amazing person! Yes, he frustrates me and yes we fight and argue...but that doesn't take away the love that I have for him! Marriage means fighting for him when he's sick and when people don't treat him right. Marriage means loving him even though he has flaws. Marriage means commitment.
Later in the article she states, "Have someone for 5 years and another person for another 5 years..." To me, she is saying, "find someone, lead them on, toy with their emotions a bit, and then leave them." After 5 years, you get attached to that person, you believe that person loves you and cares about you, and if they leave, you feel like you never even knew that person. I've seen it happen and it's heartbreaking! If I were to live until I was 70 years old and started sleeping with people when I was 16 years old and only stayed with one person for 5 years at a time I will have been with about 11 people. In 2009, there were approximately 464,623 people in NWA. The statistics show that 9 males per 100,000 have syphillis. If I were to sleep with my 11 people, there is a pretty good chance that I could get syphillis. Yes, Cameron Diaz, these statistics make me want to sleep with a new person every 5 years.

Apparently people don't understand how sacred marriage and those vows that you take during the ceremony are. I know that I am young and most people would think that I am naive, but I really think that if you promise someone that you love them and that you want to be with them forever, you should honor that promise.
Apparently morality isn't a priority anymore.
