I am sure that you are either married or have been to a wedding. An important part of the wedding is the vows. It used to include for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer and even finished with “Til death do us part.”
Cool modern couples add their own wording and concerns but there are usually some kind of vows given. If I were still pastoring and doing weddings, there are certain things that I might want to add just to prepare these folks for what is coming.
If I were doing it again, I might want to add a few things: in chatter or in discussion and in neatness or in mess come to mind. I was blessed because it never occurred to my wife that I might have something to say or, to me, that I would never get to say it.
This kind of thing may be the real reason the number of marriages is shrinking.
