Til death do us part....
This man is living out what we married people have VOWED to do, until natural death takes one of us.
May God reward him in this lifetime, as well as the next. At his death, may he hear the words "Well done, Good and Faithful Servant!"
It is our vocation to aid our spouse to HEAVEN and to SALVATION, not 'to be happy, to be fulfilled'... etc. If, while married we attain happiness and fulfilment, it is an added bonus. But our responsibility is to our spouse.
God bless!
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.
The bride says:I (...), take you (...) to be my husband.
I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,
in sickness and in health.
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.
don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools.
Keep all
the promises you make to him.
It is better to say nothing than to promise
something that you don't follow through on.
In such cases, your mouth is making you sin.
And don't defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger
that the
promise you made was a mistake.
That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved."
~~ Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 New Living Translation
