“Till death do you part” is not merely a phrase spoken during wedding vows, but a powerful declaration of God’s divine intent for marriage. In Scripture, marriage is portrayed as a lifelong covenant—a union meant to reflect the eternal commitment between Christ and His Church.

Jesus taught that marriage is meant to be permanent, saying, “What God has joined together, let no man separate” (Matthew 19:6). This commitment is not bound by fleeting emotions or circumstances but by a covenant of love, faithfulness, and mutual sacrifice.

The Apostle Paul further emphasizes this truth in Ephesians 5:25, instructing husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the Church, giving Himself up for her. Such love is enduring and sacrificial, going beyond mere convenience or temporary satisfaction. A marriage that lasts “till death do you part” reflects this selfless, enduring love.

This sermon challenges Christians to reconsider the true meaning of marital commitment. In a world that often treats relationships as disposable, God calls believers to honor the covenant of marriage with perseverance, forgiveness, and grace.

As you face trials and hardships in marriage, hold fast to your vows, trusting that God’s strength will sustain you in our commitment through every season, until death do you part with your spouse.
