I vow to be your faithful husband/wife, understanding that marriage is a
lifelong union, and not to be entered into lightly, for the purpose of
mutual fellowship, encouragement and understanding; for the
procreation of children and their physical and spiritual nurture. I hereby

Might notice this bit of Downton Abbey Bates had vowed with a wife, they hated each other to hurt each other. Seems she ran into a bit of an accident. Nobody explained if he did it but let me say this... Look at all this support he got, then he got off of course, eventually, drama, but look, no they didn't explain if he got away with the old King Henry, 5 dead wives , what a coincidence.
