Ep. 66: Until Death Do Us Part (Marriage Vows Series)

If I had to vote on the most important phrase of the marriage vows, it’d be “until death do us part.” In today’s episode, we are discussing the final phrase of the traditional marriage vows, capping off our 10-part series where we have dissected the wedding vows phrase by phrase. Marriage is sacred, yes. And it is meant to last forever. That word forever means f-o-r-e-v-e-r. It is not temporary. It is not until your “love” wears out. Marriage is a lifetime business.

So let’s discuss the meaning and weight behind these powerful five words. The words that literally mean life or death. In our throwaway culture, forever can seem like a suggestion. But to God, it was anything but.

There is a covenant at play here, and marriage should be taken seriously because of it. When you utter the words, “until death do us part,” it should carry a weight. There should be a pause. Couples who jump into marriage without first counting the cost are unwise. If you are preparing to get married, let me encourage you to take your vows seriously. Until death do us part is more than a sweet ending to a list of other promises. It is the glue that holds your commitment together.

Take a listen to the full episode and be challenged to shore up your conviction on what forever is all about.
