Marriage Vows

Marriage vows nowadays are taken for granted. Remember a celebrity who married & divorced the following day?

A vow made by man in the presence of witnesses can not be made broken by any man.

Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

Who may break, add or dissolve the vow then?

Matthew 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

God's law is clear. Except for a reason of fornication (marital unfaithfullness), you can not divorce your husband or wife.

But Brother, how about psychological reason, nagger, irresponsible etc. etc. Take note of the only exemption "except it be for fornication" nothing more, nothing less.

Wait, there is another one! Remember the phrase "till death do us part?"

The Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

Does it mean brother that if I have a nagging wife I am forever be doomed?

Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Don't worry brother, if your wife is not from the LORD definitely she's from the devil and surely she will commit marital unfaithfullness anyway!

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousnes,

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
