Hollywood's Idea of Commitment

Recently I was reading an article by James Hirsen which describes Angelina Jolie's idea of committment to her live in boyfriend Brad Pitt.  Angelina said the following, "“I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship,” the actress told Germany's Das Neue Blatt magazine. “It's worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards.”  This appears to be the mentality of many who have attained a status of high recognition in our society.  Statistics show that more and more young people believe that marriage is not an important facet of having a relationship.  I have encountered many a person in my lifetime who believe that one needs to have a "test drive" to make sure that the person they are with is someone they want to commit to.

The God of the universe is the one who came up with the idea of marriage in the first place.  God intended that this relationship should be based on commitment between a man and woman with God being the center of their relationship.  The world teaches that one should only be committed to someone if it works toward your advantage, otherwise don't commit.  The vows one takes while they are getting married says it all.  "In sickness and in health, better or worse, richer and or poorer".  When one says this vow they are making a commitment to their spouse which is meant to last throughout the years they are together.  Young people when you are in a relationship with someone you are thinking about commiting to remember that you are entering a relationship that is meant to last.  God commited to us when he died on a cross for our sins can't we commit to one another ?
