Ruth Graham, the wife of famous American evangelist Billy Graham, once said, "I don't believe in Divorce - but I do believe in Murder!"
Ideally that plus.
However, divorce does happen. There’s addiction in its many forms, abuse in its many forms, etc. Addictiion, abuse, etc are against God’s ways and can result in termination of the marriage covenant. And such blame lies on the sinner, not the victim. For example: an abusive husband is the sinner and the victim wife is blameless as she divorces him.

It's suppose to be, but with the current high divorce rate, people don't keep this vow.

But what about in sickness and in health, addiction is a sickness?

I believe in sticking together through thick and thin, many don't think like that nowadays, it's a materialistic world, and a cheating one as in adultry.
I personally think that it is but some folks marry an abusive person and I think that will be taken into account by God. I don't think he would like to see this happen to anyone but that is just my opinion. Bless you xox

If one of the happy couple is a Christian and the other is not, sadly their parting by death will be forever and they'll never meet again.
But if they're both Christians death can never part them and they'll be together forever..
PS- I never married because I never wanted to be a family man, but if I had married, she'd have had to be a Christian because I simply don't get on with nonchristians.

We're approaching 54 years. I am married to the most wonderful person I have ever known! We have gone through life together, throughout all the peaks and valleys. So yes, it is realistic!

I picked many posts.
When I was in a crisis of marriage I prayed that the Lord would show me his will. As I was living like his will would keep me in the marriage. So after the Holy Spirit dropped a bomb on me, a bomb that knocked down all the walls ripped away all the curtains and veils and showed me the only way forward was to move out yes divorce. I did with a clear conscious. My exwife lamented that the marriage was getting better and better and then it was over. She is correct but it was a oneway street she enjoyed all my efforts and contributed not much to nothing in return.
I am where I am it because of the Lord.
In a marriage of two way streets until death do us part is reasonable.
Fighting about who's turn it is to take care of whom? That is the most rewarding part of marriage to me. Yes I am remarried and this one is where I learned the joy of being taken care of while I was working just as hard to take care of her.
Search yourself, live like it is until death do us part. Also pray for God's guidance. This guidance may show you that you are the fualt and how to correct the fualt in you.
Whatever answer you get shows search that for love and forgiveness because if these aren't in the guidance you receive, the bomb dropped on you if you get my type of answer. You are being deceived. The bomb of my guidance was so rich in love and forgiveness it was incredible.
God is the tie that binds or unbinds.
Equally yoked is an incredible blessing.
Yours in Christ

These are vows that need to be kept however, realistically, people can die or fall out of love. Some folks don't follow this tradtional way of making vows to each other and before the eyes of God. Some folks make their own vows just as they create prenups before taking a partner in marriage. It can almost be like a businss transaction....

Actually I would be concerned if my ex-wife was after my afterlife too. I'm kinda happy we're divorced. It was a relief. She was kinda mean to me.I don't know who invented the "til death us do part" bit in the marriage vows but it should definitely be thrown out because it's anti-christianity.
I mean, death can NEVER part people if they're both Christians, not in this life or the life to come..

Haha, a Brit newspaper once asked readers to write in if they'd had very short marriages, and one bloke said he married his wife after a whirlwind romance, and as they sat drinking on the verandah of their honeymoon hotel she was fine at first, but as the alcohol took effect she blurted out "You've always hated my mother!"
Gobsmacked, he said he'd never even met her mother let alone said anything about her, but his wife wouldn't listen and kept on ranting about how he'd never liked her mother.
Later when she'd fell asleep he quietly packed his suitcase and headed for the airport to take the next flight home to begin filing for divorce..
