Till Death Do Us Part
Faith Walk with Jesus©️
Marriage is one of the most sacred covenants a person can make, not just with their spouse, but with God. These vows, often spoken in the presence of loved ones and sealed under the watchful eye of the Lord, are not just words but a lifelong commitment. “Till death do us part” are not only words of love—they are promises that bind two people in a covenant blessed and guided by God.
Marriage is more than a ceremony, whether it’s on a beach, in a church, or in the backyard. It is a divine covenant—a sacred agreement where the couple promises not only to each other but also to God. He is the third strand in the cord that holds a marriage together, making it unbreakable when centered on Him.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12
Marriage as a Covenant
Marriage is more than just a legal contract. It is a spiritual covenant, a binding promise made before God. When we say, “I do,” we are not only committing to our partner but also to God, who designed marriage to be a reflection of His love for the church.
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” – Ephesians 5:25
This covenant calls us to love, honor, and cherish our spouse, not just when it is easy but even when it is hard. It is about forgiveness, patience, and grace—the same qualities God shows us every day.
A Sacred Promise
The words “till death do us part” carry immense weight. They signify a lifelong commitment to stand by your spouse through every season of life—through joy and sorrow, abundance and hardship, health, and sickness. These vows are sacred because God hears them.
“When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.” – Ecclesiastes 5:4
We must honor our marriage vows because they are promises made to God as much as to our spouse. To lie or neglect these vows is to dishonor Him. Marriage is a covenant worthy of respect and dedication, one that requires humility and reliance on God.
Keeping God at the Center
A marriage built on faith in God is a marriage that thrives. When we put God first, everything else falls into place. He gives us the wisdom and strength to navigate challenges, the patience to forgive, and the love to serve one another selflessly.
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” – Ephesians 5:21
It is essential to invite God into your marriage every day. Pray together, worship together, and study His Word together. These spiritual practices strengthen the bond between husband, wife, and God, ensuring that the marriage is rooted in His love.
Love Defined by God
The Bible provides a beautiful description of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, which serves as a blueprint for how we should love our spouse:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
This kind of love is not always easy, but it is what God calls us to embody in our marriages. It is a love that prioritizes the other person, that forgives and seeks peace. It is a love that mirrors God’s love for us.
The Blessing of Obedience
Marriage is also about obedience—not just to each other but to God. Couples promise to honor God’s design for marriage by loving, respecting, and serving each other. This obedience brings blessings, both in the marriage and in their relationship with God.
“Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” – Mark 10:9
Honoring this covenant strengthens the marriage and glorifies God. It shows the world the beauty of a union rooted in faith and love.
Till Death Do Us Part
A marriage by the sea,
Sacred vows for all to see,
Words of love to God above,
A promise sealed with holy love.
God is here, within my heart,
“Till death do us part” is a sacred start.
Do not lie to Him, do not rinse and repeat,
A vow to God is a vow complete.
A covenant made, worthy of the Lamb,
Bound by His grace, held in His hand.
A marriage in the stars, or under the sun,
God’s love unites two into one.
You promised your life, to obey and to pray,
To honor each other every day.
No harm, no fight, God comes first,
Through Him, your love is forever nursed.
“Love is patient, love is kind…” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Let these words guide your every part,
For they flow from God’s own heart.
May we always remember that marriage is a gift from God, a sacred bond that reflects His eternal love for us. Let us honor our vows and trust God to guide our relationships, for His love is the foundation upon which all things flourish.
Amen. Let us lift up a prayer that honors the sanctity of marriage vows and reflects on the commandment to honor them:
A Prayer for Honoring Marriage Vows:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence for the beautiful covenant of marriage that You have created. You have designed this union as a reflection of Your love and faithfulness, and we honor You for this sacred bond.
Lord, we humbly ask for Your strength and wisdom to uphold the vows we have made before You and one another. We recognize that these vows are not mere words, but sacred promises—made in Your sight, to You, and to our spouse. We understand that breaking these promises, or dishonoring them through repeated vows or actions, is not just a breach of trust but an offense to Your holiness.
We pray that You would grant us the courage to remain faithful, not only in times of ease but especially in times of trial. Help us to keep our commitment to our spouse, for as You have taught us, "what God has joined together, let no man separate" (Mark 10:9). We acknowledge that repeating vows or turning our hearts away from our spouse is a betrayal of the sacredness of this covenant, akin to adultery in Your eyes.
May Your Holy Spirit guide us to remember the weight of our promises. Teach us to be steadfast in love, to honor and cherish one another, and to seek forgiveness when we fall short. Let our marriage be a reflection of Your love—unfailing, sacrificial, and true. May we continually seek Your guidance, to ensure that our hearts are fully devoted to our spouse, as You have commanded.
Father, may our marriage be a living testimony of Your grace. We ask that You strengthen our bond, protect us from temptation, and help us always honor the covenant we’ve made in Your name. May our love for one another be a reflection of Your love for the Church, pure, constant, and unshakable.
Lord Jesus, let our union be one that brings glory to Your name. We pray this in Your most holy and precious name.
Amen.
May your marriage be blessed, and may you always walk in the light of God's truth, honoring the sacred vows you have made.

The 10 Commandments Reminder
Here are the Ten Commandments, as listed in the Bible (specifically from the Book of Exodus 20:1-17, and also found in Deuteronomy 5:4-21):
You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourselves a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above or on the earth below. Remember money and stuff is only stuff, not God. When you leave this earthly life it gets left behind.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor your father and mother. Don't take on their divine lessons God presents them with. They may have been a pain in the butt sometimes but remember it works both ways! They are part of our "Faith Walk" and we are part of theirs. We can't save them, only God can, however healthy boundaries are self loving. Sometimes we have to love them from a distance and accept their apology they never gave us. If you need a prayer to help you forgive and follow this commandment. I can help you with that so please reach out. faithwalkministries777@outlook.com
You shall not murder. This includes lies and slander where you destroy someone's reputation.
You shall not commit adultery. This includes looking at another that you aren't married to in any inappropriate way.
You shall not steal. If you steal anything, no matter how small, you are giving out the vibration to Abba Father of lack and that's what you will get more of!
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house, wife, or possessions.
Be blessed my friend.
