There was a time when a man and a woman would say “I do” and actually mean to honor and love each other for as long as they both shall live. Nowadays, people are not taking their vows that seriously. I especially have a problem with those who are marrying for citizenship purposes. My girlfriend was horrified when she found out that her intended husband was really trying to get citizenship from her. Luckily for her, the pastor of her church decided that he was in no hurry to marry them. To stall the wedding, he invited them for two months of marriage counseling.

The counseling not only put the wedding on hold but she was able to see what the creep was all about. Now don’t get me wrong, there are legitimate marriages between a citizen and non-citizen, but one just ought to be careful that when they utter their vows that they’re not expecting a financial pay-off or Green card behind it.
