In Sickness

"In Sickness."

In the vows many recite there is the line in sickness
and in health but do they really understand what they say.
Sickness can come upon their spouse and the
person you married can be impaired in a bad way.
Marriages break up now divorces are skyrocketing for
reasons that are selfish in nature and aren't real.
So imagine what would happen of a disease struck
your spouse and they gained weight how would you feel.
I've heard some males say if their girl gains weight they
would leave them now you know this is sad.
What if she had to have her head shaven or she lost
it for some hair Lovers this would go bad.
The reality is that many are just flesh freaks their
reasons for marriage is purely superficial totally.
They married a trophy someone who was very attractive
they looked on the outside but not internally.
When you have this mindset no wonder the divorce rates
are up and broken hearts have destroyed so many.
You have females who have turned to other females
because of the failures of males and I do mean plenty.
I saw this couple on the News where he was taking care
of his declining sick wife.
You see marriage unless on the grounds stated in Scripture
or death was meant to last for life.
When that spouse gets sick will they abandon them if
it gets to be too much for them or will they stay.
I know many didn't marry for Love not when looks took
priority it was lust and that's why on each other they play.
Sickness is no joke and it could take the sex out of the
marriage and female problems could come into play too.
What if she couldn't have sex or lost her desire because
of sickness what would you do.
In sickness are words many repeat and not seriously
and this is for the females that I'm writing this too as well.
Love and sensitivity, devotion, commitment, and understanding
along with the spirit of Yah and any marriage can prevail.
In sickness well when I'm finally blessed with my spouse
through learning now through writing the poetry I will know.
That it's not about how Beautiful she is now or how good those
legs look but if she gets sick my true Love for her I'll show.

Shalom
