"...in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"

For most of high school and college, I was worried that my parents only stayed together because of my sister and me. After my mom found out that my dad had had an affair during my freshman year of high school, she had prepared all the papers for a divorce, but ultimately decided to give my dad a second chance. In college, my sister and I would often wonder how things were at home, now that we were 400 miles away in northern California. Were my parents okay? Were they fighting again?

Now that I see how my dad is taking care of my mom, I realize that my parents still do love each other, and that they meant every word of their marriage vows.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, my dad's answer to the question was, "Sure!"
