A video surfaced online of a man confronting his wife for meeting another man in a hotel, recording intimate moments, and leaving their child unattended at home. The disturbing nature of the incident sparked intense conversations about infidelity, parenting, and the state of modern relationships.
Amid the reactions, one sweeping comment stood out: “MARRIAGE HAS LOST ITS CREDIBILITY.”
While the commenter likely spoke out of frustration, such a statement is an overgeneralization. One person’s wrongdoing—even a severe one—cannot be used to judge an entire institution. Millions of marriages remain healthy, loyal, and stable. Reducing the whole concept of marriage to one tragic incident not only dismisses the effort couples put into their unions but also spreads unnecessary cynicism.
It’s important to criticize the specific act of betrayal and negligence without condemning marriage itself. Individuals make bad choices; the institution is not the culprit.
