Till death do us apart!

"Till Death Do Us Apart." These words are uttered only once, in a married person's life, unless he or she has been married several times.

Most youth of today, I believe, do not take these words seriously. Today's trend is to, 'touch and go', 'use and throw'. Life for them is, 'A One Big Convenience Store'.

Just as smart phones and other modern gadgets are discarded when not of use, spouses are discarded when they do not meet one's needs. The youth of today silently scream, "You exist for me and not, I for you."

How the world has changed, from an era, when spouses used to compete with each other to shower love and make sacrifices, to the modern era where spouses demand sacrifices from each other.

It saddens my heart to see young couples treat each other like gadgets of convenience and my only prayer is that they would take the words, "Till Death Do Us Apart" seriously.
