ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH WEDDINGS knows the drill: for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. But if New Jersey author and wedding expert Sharon Naylor has analyzed the current direction of marriage correctly, that phrase may soon pass from modern weddings faster than it has from modern marriages.
In her book, Your Special Wedding Vows, Naylor tells us that the whole notion of sticking around until someone dies has increasingly become passé. In fact, the entire notion of having to live up to that commitment causes nothing but grief and mental anguish, Naylor claimed to Fox News last week. “When people get divorced, they mourn the fact that they said ’til death do us part’–you didn’t keep your word in church (if they had a church wedding). Some people are in therapy because they promised ’til death do us part.'”
