When you make a promise, you are committed. Enough said. This passage is quoted from the Bible and came from Jesus Himself. God will hold us accountable to our promises and when we married, we promised to be committed to this relationship until death or the day of our Lord. We must keep fighting for our spouses each day through prayer and intercession because we will be held just as accountable as they will be.
What about this piece of trivia: 'If you shake hands on a promise, that's nothing; but if you raise your hand that God is your witness, that's serious'? What ridiculous hairsplitting! What difference does it make whether you shake hands or raise hands? A promise is a promise. What difference does it make if you make your promise inside or outside a house of worship? A promise is a promise. God is present, watching and holding you to account regardless.
From The Message, Matthew 23:16-22
