When we took our vows, we promised to love each other in sickness and health, for richer or for poorer, forsaking all others, until death do we part. We have shared in sermons and in our Life Together Forever seminars that it is our heart’s desire to be with each other to the very end. To wake up one morning and have a discussion about whether or not Roy has the right upper dentures. To chase each other around the room with our walkers. We want to be there for each other for the very end.
We happened to be worshipping at our home church, Christbridge Fellowship in Tomball, when Pastor Rick Brown shared an awesome video with us that exemplifies this type of love. It is called, What is Love. Watch this brief video.
Over the years we have met many spouse’s like Bill, spouses who keep their vows and love their spouse so much that they are with them to the very end. What an incredible love!

As a society, there is no other conclusion to make. Relationships as a whole in America are unhealthy and unsuccessful. According to the data, the divorce rate has plateaued at 50%. That is somewhat deceiving because around 70% of first time marriages actually make it. The older set bends these numbers upward.
Less than half of second time marriages actually make it. And about a third of third time marriages make it.
The call from the chair of the deacons of a church with regular attendance over 2,500 announced their pain in simple words. “Our pastor has failed his church, his marriage, his family and himself. I don’t know what to do.”
Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. I Timothy 4:16 NIV
A recent call from a 32 year old wife in a five year old marriage. “Why is it that my husband showed me a lot of PDA (public display of affection) in our beginning of our relationship but is reluctant to do it now?”
The most important sex organ is the brain. And within the brain we are finding the answer to this very important question that is a common problem within most relationships.
Fred and Sheila had called to discuss having a Marriage Intensive with us. She had recently contacted an attorney about a divorce. “I just can’t take it anymore. He is always mad. He never has any time for me. I do everything for him and all I want is for him to notice me and want to be with me. He is always mad at me and I don’t know why.”

We have dear friends who are lifelong Dallas Cowboy fans. In good times and bad, they watch every game religiously. They spend hundreds of dollars on Dallas Cowboy branded merchandise, home décor and clothing. One of the first outfits their children wore as newborns was a Dallas Cowboy onesie. Their cars have Cowboys bumper stickers. Their work areas and home has Cowboys décor. Everyone they know knows that they are Cowboys fans. They are definitely Dallas Cowboy fanatics.
According to Merriam –Webster Dictionary, the word fan is “probably short for fanatic” and first appeared in 1682. A fan is “an enthusiastic devotee” and “an ardent admirer or enthusiast.”
“Marriage should be honored by all.” Hebrews 13:4 (NIV)
