It's In the Bible You Know!
Overheard today at my son's martial arts studio between a dad of one child and a mom of another...both are very outspoken Christians.
Mom: "Yeah and the Mormons got their own problems too. That whole celestial marriage thing is just weird."
Dad: "I'll you what, they got some learning to do. The Bible clearly says '...till death do you part' and not a minute further."
Hmmmm. Lots going on here. Celestial marriage meaning, I think, that a Mormon couple is married in this life and in the life to come. I don't think so but I would not go far as to quote from the Bible that "till death do you part" is anywhere in the canon of scripture.
I laughed almost out loud at them but then I kinda thought about myself and how I probably have done the same thing before...but I sure hope not!

hey, Rob. The bible doesn't really use that phrase but there are plenty of verses that mean that, I think. Rom. 7:2&3. 1 Cor 7:39 and Matt 19:6. The thought is definitely there, what do you think?

till death do us part is in the bible actually. not in so many words but in other words. Rom 7:2&3 1Cor 7:39

Thought? Absolutely! The wedding soliloquy that this guy was weaving? No!
I did not elaborate enough in the orginal post that he was continuing on with "to have and to hold" as well.
I just thought it funny that a lot of our traditional wedding vows suddenly became part of the text.
Might this be a guess you had to be there moment? Maybe so...

Doesn't that often happen? Tradition becoming Scripture, to some people?
