Divorce Proof Your Marriage Part 2

A traditional wedding vow might include the following phrases, "... to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish from this day forward until death do us part. This I promise to you before God". It is reported that the average bride to be in the U.S. spends well over 1000 hours choreographing each moment of the day she will say the vows. At some point in time, in over half of all U.S. marriages, one or both partners in the marriage find themselves unhappy.

The obvious answer is to chuck it all, split us the assets, pay the attoreys umpteen thousands of dollars and hope to find someone else who will make you happy - at least that is what the world would have believe.

God has a somewhat different plan. Husbands are to love their wives as much as they love themselves (Eph. 5:33). Wives are to help and respect her husband. That's it, that's God's plan - love and respect.
