Even modern day, non-LDS, wedding vows include...for better or for worse. Snags to work through. I believe that all marriages have to occasionally be thoroughly and honestly evaluated and overhauled, revamped, re-paired, renewed, and re-invented. When you read the article below, and I only printed part of it here, it's astounding how good they say their life is and yet they "have grown apart" and want to end the marriage. They go all out and each year on their anniversary have some big star studded vow renewal and still with all the folderol, all the money, all the fame, and 4 children- they still have "grown apart".
Where is the spunk? The vim, vigor and determination to figure out how to make these relationships work? In today's world of instant gratification...Is there no desire, no longing, to hold on to that which is familiar, comfortable and of your own creation? Are families valueless to most nowadays?
I'm haunted by this article. I find it perplexing, puzzling and sad. It draws my mind to the reality of this being the last days and I need to again read the Proclamation to the World about families. There is no better way to center ourselves about the worth of families than reading that document.
I love my marriage and I love my hubby and I never want to drift or grow apart. I want it to last forever and am willing to tend our relationship by yanking out occasional weeds and replanting glorious plants for us to enjoy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Seal and Heidi Klum have announced that their storybook marriage is coming to the end of the runway.
In a statement Sunday night, the power couple announced their separation after rumors swirled over the weekend that a divorce was imminent.
"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul searching we have decided to separate," the joint statement read. "We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children's sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."
The couple married in 2005 and has four children together, including the supermodel's daughter from a previous relationship. (ages 2-7)
