I never imagined that I’d experience so much of the “worse, poorer, and in sickness” part of our vows.

Little did I know those thirteen years would hold chronic illness, financial loss, special needs, suffering children, marital strain, and overwhelming stress. With stars in my eyes, and blissfully unaware of what the future would hold, I confidently vowed, “I take you, Jeff, to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live.” I certainly didn’t expect life to be perfect, but I assumed my marriage would be filled with more of “better” than “worse.” We hope you find great use of these Bible verses.I remember the moment I stood before my groom and recited my wedding vows. And every wife should be tenderly devoted to her husband.” So every married man should be gracious to his wife just as he is gracious to himself. Marriage is the beautiful design of the Almighty, a great and sacred mystery- meant to be a vivid example of Christ and his church.

“For this reason a man is to leave his father and his mother and lovingly hold to his wife, since the two have become joined as one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ ? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. “Mercy and truth are met together righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” “No one has ever seen God but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
