When couples marry, they indeed take every ounce of their wedding vows seriously and to heart. In good times and in bad, they even remind each other of those words spoken on the very day they promised to love, cherish, honor and obey. So what happens when the words spoken over each other and their union goes up in smoke?
When the vows are turned inside out, upside down, then doused in betrayal and shame. When the two have grown so far apart, they soon see their vows were as a joke or maybe taken in stride. Divorce is then inevitable.
What happens to “Till death do us part?” Are these words and promise in their vows even a reality anymore?
Were the vows created to manipulate us into a standard of unrealistic expectations? Especially when or if the union fails? When divorce leads to the end of your marriage, then in death you will not part.
My parents were married 58 years and my mom was certainly at my fathers side when he took his last breath fours years ago on January 5, 2015. She sincerely lived out that part in her marriage vow that stated: “Till death do us part“.
I’m sure there are many others who had the same experience but with divorce on the rise among married couples in this society and the lack of loyalty and longevity in today’s generation, is “Till death do us part” even a reality? Where was this idiom established?
Join us at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via Blog Talk Radio for our discussion “Till death do us part”…is this still a reality? As renowned Bishop Andre C. Alston, Pastor and presiding Bishop of Antioch Christian Tabernacle of East Orange, NJ will grace our studios for this discussion.
You won’t want to miss this conversation..
Can we not get this input from a biblical perspective please? And thank you.

I don’t think, that’s the premise here to stay in a marriage if it’s abusive. No that’s common sense.

Of course you would leave if you’re getting your ass whooped. Of course at that point you saw no future in an abusive marriage atleast you got out 🙌 I’m sure some women somewhere did not. You gotta see the red flags. With so many issues in this day and time marriage ain’t like it use to be.

Yea I’m sorry to hear you went through that @Gee no one should ever tolerate abuse but I’m sorry some signs should’ve been present before you married.
LikeLiked by 1 person
There were no signs, he presented himself very well. That’s what haunted me after I left (what signs did I miss…..what is wrong with me that I would attract such a person…..what am I putting out there to make someone think I deserve this….me, me, me). Thank God through counseling I realized that I didn’t have the problem, he did. He was a narcissist and I don’t know if you have ever had an experience with a narcissist but they can be very deceiving and play a roll for a long time, a very long time.
