TILL DEATH DO US PART?

Years ago all a girl wanted to do was get married, have a home and raise children. I know this, because I was one of those girls.

We all know the vows of marriage. “To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish ’till death do us part.” I do know that in that era, we still knew it was a lifetime vow.
