I’VE been thinking lately about my wedding vows. My husband and I have been married for more than 22 years, and a lot of those promises have come in handy. Take “in sickness and in health.” We have both been tested by various maladies and have come through fine so far.
When it comes to “for richer or for poorer,” without going into too much detail, let me just say we have stuck together in leaner times as well as more prosperous. Yet there is a pernicious issue that continues to divide us as a couple, and I’m wondering why the marriage vows didn’t address it.
Why didn’t we pledge our troth “in cold and in warmth”?
