Anti-Cheating Rings: Would It Actually Work?

Touching, that is what an ideal marriage is like. However it is not reality, or at least not for the majority. Half of marriages these days end in divorce for more than one reason.

I understand that some do indeed have the perfect relationship with one another and truly feel connected, but indeed I have yet to see that myself in anyone with the exception of my own great grandparents. They'd stayed together since they married at age 17 back in the 40's. A relatively flawless marriage that ended with illness in their old age mere years ago.

The same was not reflected for my grandmother and her first husband, nor my own mother and father, who are practically polar opposites in almost every way. It is my belief that some things come on a whim and we believe them to be something that will last, but they do not. They were close before, but have since drifted apart and are in the middle of a divorce.

My own grandmother was married to her first husband, my mother's father, for little more than seven years before she started dating who was to be her second and final husband until death, while she was still with her first husband.

My blood grandfather and grandmother were not much more than a fun night for the both of them that resulted in pregnancy, which turned to a short marriage to take responsibility for the unexpected child, my mother, though it was brief. It was rather useless to bother marrying, as my great grandmother was more of a mother to my mother than HER own mother was.

That said, true, I have a bit of a bias, but I also see things from a logical perspective and compare statistics. Love is indeed a beautiful thing when it is true, but it seems to be rare among our current era, hence why I'm rather coarse toward the idea of combining souls and minds. Sacred as it is, they are still two separate people with their own thoughts and beliefs.
