The Touch of the Men’s Ring

I have seen on the news these past few years a very disturbing trend. This trend is alarming because of who is involved - primarily men who have earned our trust in very high and powerful positions in the government of their state or of our country. The trend is devastating to families - not just wives but children of all ages. It wrecks families and friends and trust of the constituents who elected these powerful, brilliant men of all ages. These men, who were once bright stars, heroes, role models, people sought after for trusted advice and counsel have since fallen.

Fallen to stations so low that most of us are happy to have nothing to do with them - once respected, now pitied. The trend? Misuse of their role as trusted husband and caregiver to not just their families but the very people who elected them. And how is this mistrust manifest - in their choice to have an affair with a woman who has nothing to do with their sacred marriage ceremony. Adultery. Oh how far they have fallen in that one act violating so many for a few moments of pleasure. I have yet to see one of these fallen heroes who has not shed tears of unhappiness while admitting their grave and selfish lack of propriety and fidelity in their marriage. Typically they are surrounded by family - by wives who seek to support them with broken hearts. Tragic. Unnecessary. Sad. All but unrepentable.

What happened when these leaders first slipped on their men’s wedding band and took an oath of unity and love and togetherness? Have they forgotten the many times they have looked and touched and remembered their love and relationship just at the touch of their men’s ring? Have they forgotten the hours of sacrifice of the devoted woman who stood by their side? Who gave birth in pain to their children - who forgave them for working late and for the times when harsh words were spoken in haste or in anger? Oh to take it all back – to feel the touch of their special men’s wedding band one more time and to remember and to take courage and to resist the urge to do something that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

For those of us who have not fallen, who have remained strong, who have remembered … may we judge less and be more thankful for those who have consented to stay with us through thick and thin, through the good and the bad. To love us for who we are and for what we are trying so hard to become and can become with their love and support. May we touch the ring on our left hand and remember to love and to cherish for as long as time shall last. Oh help us to remember and to remain forever strong - for the sake of our families and our country. Because strong families make a strong nation!
