A long, long time ago a very wise and far sighted person came up with simple promises knowing what strains are put on the basic building block of human society, the nuclear family from generation to generation.
That is why they include the words: "In Sickness", "For Poorer", and "For Worse." These things beset just about every marriage from time to time.
In most cases, after the emotions are all spent, the sole will power to keep a promise, is the last thing holding a family together.
That is probably where I am right now: trying to keep W near S12 at least until he transitions from childhood to manhood.
