Promises and Love

It would appear that I am not keeping good to my promise. Very sorry for not writing more, my time has been so limited.
Its funny how people make and break promises so easily, I guess its just knowing what promises are important enough to keep.
Like, when people say their vows, promising to have and hold, honor and cherish, why don't people take promises like that more seriously? Those seem a lot more substantial than promising to be BFFs Forever! I just wish people would remember to take care of one another and love each other to the best of their ability.
I think its such a shame that people cant seem to stay married and so many of the couples who do stay married aren't even happy together. They stay together for their kids, to keep good face with their families, or to not be another statistic. I cant understand how people fall in and out of love with each other so fast.
So much of the time, I think people assume that the other person has changed or has wronged them somehow, making it okay to severe the ties between the two, but love is such a conscious choice. you have to choose to love people. Life is hard and it seems like it is impossible to see over people's flaws and love them, but you have to! You have to choose to love them! You have to fight for love between two people.
I just hope that people start to see that love is important and worth having and taking care of. I just want everyone to strive to love the person next to them, because if we all just chose to love just a little bit more..life would be so much more bearable and worth living.
