Well, I see what you're saying, but to me that's the whole point. How could anyone else's
anything cheapen another's couple's vows, if what you have is strong who cares what everyone else is doing?
I think vows are cheapened more by serial marriage people: hop from one marriage or relationship to another, or by those who marry for money, or for a million other reasons that, to me, seem aside from what marriage should be about. It's my opinion that pretty much "just anyone" can get married anyway...who am I to limit it or to say Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue can get married because they're in love, even if he beats her or she cheats, but Billy Joe and Bobby Jack who are very committed and believe in a purpose in life can't?
I know I'm talking to a very happily married person, so your opinion is valuable to this discussion. So many are not happy...
