The words “till death do us part” are used commonly in marriage ceremony after marriage ceremony. In today’s culture, it has become clear that many people do not mean what they say. They are just empty words.
I grew up in a broken home. Dad was not around to watch us grow and to teach us how to be men. He was not there to teach me how to be a good husband and father. Mom had left my dad when he was serving in the Navy. She broke the marriage covenant. She did not mean what she said.
This is something I see in families every day. People are so willing to walk away. They did not mean what they said either. Innocent people are hurt over our selfishness and unwillingness to be committed. Kids are caught in the middle and deal with a lifetime of insecurity and inconsistency.
Ten years ago tomorrow, I married my bride Amey. I said that I was committed to her and to our family “till death do us part.” This is not only a commitment to her and the kids, but more importantly, it is a commitment to God whom I serve. I meant what I said “till death do us part.” I am celebrating 10 years of commitment and I can’t wait for the next ten!
