so you want a person that is younger than 60 (Clintons Age), but older than 46 Obamas age, who has experience, so you can base an honest opinion on him or her, and with the experience him or her can change things? did I get that right?
I can't help but disagree. Giving up on a marraige after adultry is the easy thing to do. It takes a lot more strength to forgive the greivance and continue to honor the committments made at the wedding. I am fairly certain the preacher didn't put qualifiers when he said "til death do you part."
No, I don't have a CLUE where you got that.:lol: I said MCCAIN is too old...he's 71. Also, concerning Obama...I didn't even KNOW how old he was...and didn't mention his age at all. His age isn't a concern to me...his lack of experience is...mainly because, due to his lack of experience...I don't know much about him. I don't think it's too much to ask to want the opportunity to base an honest opinion of the person that will be the "leader of the free world" for the next 4 years before I vote. In fact, I think it is the duty of every American that chooses to vote to make sure he or she has an honest opinion of the person for whom they choose to vote. I guess what I'm wondering about Obama is this...what has he ever done? Don't tell me...SHOW me. Explain HOW you're gonna "change". Basically, all I hear from him is "change"...and I am just wondering, HOW is he gonna do it? I'm not saying he isn't the right choice...but I currently have no way of knowing HOW he plans to do ANYTHING...because he hasn't SHOWN anybody anything...he's just TOLD us. Again, I'm not saying it's his fault that he hasn't shown anybody anything...I'm saying that his most glaring fault is that he hasn't had the opportunity to show anybody anything.:thumb:
By the way...I'm keying in on Obama and McCain for the obvious reason that they are the likely candidates to represent their respective parties. Bring Clinton into the picture, and the choice becomes a LOT easier for me. Bring Huckabee in...(which I'm well aware is hardly possible)...and it's a slam dunk for me...personally.
A woman doesn't give up her ego and her pride when she says, "I do." If a person cheats, they have broken their vows. And giving up on a marriage is NOT an easy thing to do.
I think divorce should be the very final option...however, even scripturally...there is one case where divorce is an option...and this is it...infidelity. That doesn't mean it's a given that if a spouse cheats, the other should automatically divorce them. I have good friends who have been able to work it out...and are still together after a decade or so. But it always haunts their marriage. It's up to them to decide if it's worth it to continue. For my friends, it is. But also, if you're going to stand on "'til death do you part", then you must also consider StaceyO's post above, and realize that the vow also says "cleave ONLY unto her/him". You can't use the vows as a crutch when they've already been broken. That's one way to put it.:thumb:
Well said... Again..very well said I can't imagine these women, Stacey mentioned earlier, are setting a very good example for their daughters...
I'm hurt that I didn't get a "very well said" regarding my post! :bncry: Must be a "chicks hangin' together" thing.
