No Out Clause

God's 
design
for marriage
is one man and
one woman joined for
a lifetime, together
for richer, for poorer, in
sickness and health, in good times and
bad, weathering life's storms, side by side.
Two halves become whole.  There is no out clause.

very interesting one. You would never know this by seeing how the world is today! It's so sad that today's world makes both marriage AND divorce so easy. I guess today we can call many of them "civil unions" even though they end up usually so dang uncivili!!!
