In today's GB News Daily Reflections, we look at how couples promise to remain faithful to one another, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health."A famous Bible passage for many wedding couples is Saint John's first letter to the Corinthians and chapter 13, possibly the greatest written definition of love of all time. "Love is patient. Love is kind. It's neither selfish nor proud. It doesn't dishonour or self-seeking. It's not easily angered, nor does it keep score. Love is tree, trustworthy, hopeful and enduring."

00:00The Chibi News Daily Reflection

00:04Hello, my name is Johnny Dade and I'm a vicar in the Church of England.

00:11A woman once quit. My husband and I married for better and for worse.

00:16He couldn't have done better and I couldn't have done worse.

00:20It's a bit harsh and it's only a joke, thank goodness.

00:23But if you've ever been to a wedding ceremony, you will recognise the language.

00:30Couples promise to remain faithful to one another for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.

00:43A famous Bible passage for many wedding couples is St John's first letter to the Corinthians and chapter 13.

00:51Possibly the greatest written definition of love of all time.

00:56Love is patient. Love is kind. It's neither selfish nor proud. It doesn't dishonour or self-seek.

01:05It's not easily angered, nor does it keep score.

01:09Love is tree, trustworthy, hopeful and enduring.

01:14It's beautiful poetry, but the content is profoundly challenging.

01:21The bar for love is raised high.

01:24And more than that, St Paul's descriptions of love are action-orientated.

01:30Love is a doing thing more than a feelings thing.

01:34Feelings are fleeting and often unreliable.

01:37But true love endures, matures and is refined through the better and the worse.
