Some people agree with dropping the life long marriage vow this is because they believe marriage would be more attractive because people will not be frightened about the life long commitment.
Option 2A Marriage
Some people disagree with church dropping the vow because people wouldn’t find marriage serious and get married without thinking about the life long commitment, so more people end up divorced. Also if the couple are strong Christians they wouldn’t want to break Gods words ‘What God has joined together, let no one separate’ (Mk Ch 10 6-8) and if they did they would feel guilty about it. I think this is a strong argument you can see that people are getting married without thinking of the commitment because of the number of people getting divorced (two thirds of marriages end up in divorce).
Another argument against this statement is that the couple who aren’t married would have to work even harder to stay together because there would be less security this is because the couple wouldn’t have the promise to each other to stay together for life, this means that one of the partners could walk out on the relationship but if they were married they couldn’t. I don’t think this is a strong argument because if the partners didn’t feel secure in the relationship they couldn’t love and trust their partner enough to marry them.
