Richard Sibbes:
“Marriage is a divine institution ordained by God for the propagation of mankind and the mutual help and comfort of husband and wife. It is a holy covenant entered into before God, in which a man and a woman vow to love, honor, and cherish one another for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death parts them. In marriage, husband and wife are called to live together in harmony and unity, supporting and encouraging one another in their spiritual and emotional growth. They are to be faithful and loyal to one another, forsaking all others, and cleaving only to each other until death parts them.” (From various sermons and writings)
