So glad to see marriage celebrated, but I don't understand why marriages are often labeled, "marriages of convenience." When two people stand up together and say "until death do us part," then keep that promise, regardless of how they might FEEL from day to day, that is a marriage of COMMITMENT. I know feelings are much more in vogue today in America than a person's word, but I've seen a lot more good come from someone following their word than someone following their feelings. I would sure hope those in my life can continue to be committed to me, regardless of how they might feel from day to day, and I would hope to give that kind of commitment in return.
