I'm sure you're on to something. That's the trouble with throwing the baby out with the bath water. People want things all their own way without considering the consequences.DOUBLECAB wrote:Hey Pete..........maybe thats why 'love & honour (honesty)' is no longer fashionable these days and maybe thats why the divorce rate is what it is.
Just a thought.

Marriage is about sacrifice on both sides. Ie, doing what is best for your partner...not what you necessarily want.Sometimes that means saying no, that is not something that I will do, or to your partner, no I don't think you should do that coz it's bad for you and bad for us. That is real love. Real love is selfless.
The next thing is, marriage is about owning up when you screwed up, and then forgiving your partner when they do the same. The big words are repentance and forgiveness.
Sounds like both parties in the Ebay ad need to practice some sacrificing and some repetance and forgiveness. Otherwise, I am quite concerned about their future. If I had a mates wife traeting him like that and then him venting on Ebay, I'd be sending them to marriage counselling quicksmart. :o
p.s. sorry if I sound preachy, must be my job spilling over into my hobbies 🙂
