Marriages shouldn’t be disposable

Is a marriage worth keeping, maintaining, and repairing? 

 

Marriages shouldn't be disposable, friend.

 

If you disagree with that statement, forgive me but you're probably on the

wrong email newsletter list.

 

Doesn't it seem that part of the postmodern worldview is the expectation
that everything is disposable-- ready to be used up and thrown away when
we're done with it?

 

Cheap electronics that are expected to work only for a few uses after purchase.

  Plastic bags.

    Single-use plastic straws, bottles, plates, bowls, cups, lids and cutlery.

      Styrofoam.

        Single-serving this and that, packaged in yet more plastic.

          Crappy dollar store toys.

       

When it comes to the environment, each of us contribute to some of the mess all

of us are creating for the planet.

 

Maybe you're like me and you try to make good choices in these areas like

never buying styrofoam, carrying reusable straws and canvas shopping bags in the

car, reading online reviews before making even medium-sized purchases (in hopes

of avoiding a bad buy that might then end up in the landfill). 

 

But even for those who are eco-conscious and want to limit their footprint,

it's gotten pretty hard to avoid doing damage, frankly. That takeout food

shows up in whatever packaging the restaurant chooses to put it in. And once the

plastic straw gets put in your drink before you even see it, there's no way it

can be saved for someone else to use (argghhh it's a double waste). Oh my God,

don't get me started!

 

And almost as awful as what we're doing to the environment as a people with

disposable products is what this unfortunate environment that everything is

disposable is doing to people and our relationships. 

 

Knowing another, possibly better prospect is just a click or a swipe away has
made entire generation pretty cavalier with casual dating…and the temptation
of quickly replacing one lover with another has even made long-term
relationships less permanent.

 

Is even marriage becoming seen as just another  throwaway item? 

 

For some folks, my husband Mr. Cubic ZIrconia and I think yeah it IS.

 

In our opinion, this way of looking at things is wrong philosophically, it's

wrong theologically, and it's wrong morally. And by the time humans prove this

attitude that everything is just so much toilet paper is wrong scientifically...

it just might be too late.

 

It's bad for men. 

  It's bad for women. 

    It's bad for families. 

      It's bad for society.

        It's bad for civilization.

          It's bad for the planet.

 

Bad enough that a business owner is using up precious seconds which I could be

trying to sell you something instead to do the unreasonable thing of trying to

inspire stranger changers instead? 

 

HUMPH.

 

Once we lived in the age of reason where learning right from wrong was a

pre-requisite for being considered an adult.

 

Now it seems, however, that we live in an age of excuses where, for too many

people, convenience is the only god, there are no eternal truths, and nothing is

worth fighting for-- while those who wish to be reasonable have no idea what to

teach their kids about the nature of permanence in a world drowning in
throwaway stuff.

 

I know when it comes to human pollution, I'm struggling with what to teach my

own kids-- and how to give them hope that we as a species can make a difference.

 

But don't you give up on making a change as an individual that can help the

planet, okay?

 

And as a married individual in a curated couple, please don't give up on

marriage because you're being fed the BS line that 'everything is disposable

so why not marriage, too'?

 

"It's all messed up already. I can do whatever I want. There's no secret.

Marriage goes bad and you throw it away. Divorce just happens.
There is no root cause."

 

Those are excuses. 

 

Start thinking that way and you could be living somewhere else pretty quick

(whether you want to or not)-- and you'd be one of the few exceptions for us

to say someone in your marriage had a real, understandable, honest-to-God

grounds for divorce*.

 

Look, to be fair...

    The media isn't just making up the modern problem with divorce.  
          It IS a real epidemic (though that "50%" statistic you've heard IS inflated).

 

But just like you and I have a choice about whether to throw up our hands and

say 'nothing can be done' when considering our personal environmental impact

versus the damage being done by everyone else...

 

You and I ALSO have a choice about how we will view marriage when it seems

others have decided the institution is no longer sacred.

 

Is a marriage-- your marriage-- worth keeping, cleaning, maintaining, repairing

and re-using?

 

Or is it just one more thing we take what we want from, use and throw away when

for the moment it no longer serves us?

P.S. Harsh truth:

When you recommit every day and treat your marriage vows as permanent, it's

saying to friends and family getting a divorce-- and looking for sympathy-- you

won't buy their fear, pessimism and scarcity thinking about the disposability

of marriage. 

And it's saying to your partner that what you have is worth keeping, cleaning,

maintaining and repairing.
