Marriage pledge

Suddenly thinking..what we pledge when we went thru ROM...
Why should we have to go thru the pledge since nobody remembers that and keep to it?
Why must go thru all this useless process?Just sign the paper will do right?!

Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health and forsaking all others, be faithful to her, so long as you both shall live?

Love, comfort be faithful to her so long as you both shall live?

Can you keep to your pledge?

Or should enforce some laws?if never keep to that, you will be prosecuted?
hmm..........................
Whats the point? forcing a couple with no love to stay together?
Whoever does not comply shall be prosecuted!
ie..couple forced to be together and no matter what, even no longer love, will try to love?hmm......
haha...算了吧,双方都会活得很辛苦吧..
