Encouraging words of wisdom

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)

Is faithfulness a dead concept? What do you think…?

Is faithfulness a dead concept? What do you think…?

     Is faithfulness a dead concept?  We see people on the “Maury show,” “Jerry Springer Show,” and “Steve Wilkos Show;” it kind of makes you wonder-are there any faithful people left in the world?  We live in a world where marriage is no longer off limits and a ring on your finger has very little meaning except a pretty piece of jewelry.  You can tell someone that you’re married and their reply is, ‘what does that have to do with me?’  Betrayal of trust is an open concept that lovers don’t mind openly sharing to live audiences without hesitation.  They don’t care that it leaves their lovers to live with the humiliation and shame of knowing that the whole world is now aware of that betrayal.  Maybe that’s what the intent really is, to inflict harm; as much harm as possible before letting go of a lost or broken relationship. 
     I don’t think that you should need a ring to honor a promise of faithfulness.  Once you say that we’re together and in “a relationship” faithfulness should be a standard thing.  It comes with the title of “togetherness.”  You know when you start saying those “we” words or our; our apartment, our kids, our car, or we’re going, we’re doing, etc…  The problem is that most people don’t really know what a relationship is or the line has yet to be defined on the relationship. 
     I think that in the beginning of any relationship there should be an understanding; we’re just sex, or we’re exclusive, and we’re a couple.  Unfortunately, most people forget to establish these simple guidelines that eventually lead to painstaking revelations later on.  He says, “We were never in a relationship,” because to him it was just sex.  She says that “We were in a relationship for a year and a half.” This sort of thing happens all the time but can simple be avoided by having a one minute discussion that starts with, “are we in a relationship or is this just sex?”  Can you see how easy that was and it can so keep you from falling for Mr. or Mrs. Wrong.
    What do you think?  Is faithfulness forever gone?  I mean really think about it; have you ever cheated on a relationship because if you have you’ve answered my question.  As always, I’m Lady PJ, much love to you all.
