The vow to love

"I am already separated from my wife," Ricky confessed as we sat al fresco style facing Hong Kong harbour. "We'd sold our home and she'd moved back to her mother's place."

There were times when the stresses of life and marriage were so difficult that, for both of us, the obligation inherent in the vows we took "for better or worse, till death do us part" loomed large in our minds. We gritted our teeth and worked through the issues, but it was neither romantic nor fun.

"Love never fails" - 1 Corinthians 13:8
