I do understand what it meant in the ages where life span was very short. Although in these days and times people live much longer time periods. Can "Til death do us part" mean... The death of the love of 2 people who are no linger on the same page and out grown each other mentally and spiritualy?

We use "love" so loosely now-a-days that I just really wonder if we really understand what it means. Love is not conditional. It doesn't change with the situation, mood or period of time. The term "till death do us part" is not a biblical binding term. Actually the bible tells us clearly in Matthew 5:32 that there is an instant that you can divorce your husband or wife. If they committ adultery. So, "till death do us part" is something that sounds good, but, will actually drive you to an early grave.
I don't believe you grow out of love, you merely grow out of the initial excitement or your fire may need to be kindled. Marriage is a serious step and should not be taken lightly. We were made to spend our lives with our mates, but, with the world in the shape it's in today, many would question that it's not worth it.
Good luck.

Till death do us part is still the same as it was 50 years ago. When a lover passes on then it gives a person solice about going out agian with other people. Many people just stay single for the devotion of there once love. Just because someone has passed way doesn't mean that their spouse no longer loves them. If people are no longer on the same page then they should seek councling or just move on that way they can find their true love. Once you find teh right someone the meaning will become crystal clear.

Here's the thing that most selfish, naive people that live in today's world don't seem to understand. Love isn't a feeling, it's a conscious decision you make every moment of every day. So, of course your love can last a lifetime - you just have to decide to make it last, that's all. Too many people come up with excuses to stop loving each other because it's easier that way. Just because it's easier, that doesn't mean it's right or that other people don't see right through it!

No, people don't take that seriously anymore when making a commitment to marriage. You have more abuse going on in marriages today because of money problems and the way we as a society looks at life. They have out grown each other because of the busy life we lead nowadays and each partner has there own agenda.

I don't think most couples live by that today, although it's quite a shame they don't. Instead of trying to work out their problems the first thought that comes to mind is DIVORCE. If more people would try to work out their marital problems the world wouldn't have such a great need for therapists and medications and the courts wouldn't have so many problems with determining paternity and changing of children's last names and all this intra-familia molestation.

No it can't mean that...it means we will be married until one of us stops breathing...that is what is wrong with the world today we want to change everything to fit our feel good society. If it doesn't work anymore, or it's too difficult or we don't like the way it makes us feel anymore than we want out....til death do us part means we remain married until we die...at least it does for me and my husband!

Where did you get that people are living longer these days? Thats not true.
"Til death do us part" def still has meaning to those who value the promises they make.

My parents have been married for almost 60 years, and I guarantee one of them will keel over before they divorce. My wife and I have been married for a mere 20 years, but I can give you the same guarantee about us! Don't overgeneralize.

I believe when you marry someone it is until the death of the person occurs. I would not remarry if my husband should come to pass. I don't believe I could love another person as much as I love him.
Good Luck
