It’s not just about the “til death do us part”. What about the “in sickness and in health” or the “for better or for worse”? Maybe it’s not a matter of Robertson saying people should live lonely, celibate lives.
Perhaps he is merely suggesting that we shouldn’t love our spouse so fully so that when they are no longer the person we remember because of something as debilitating as Alzheimer’s, we can “detach with love”?
What about other chronic diseases? What if our spouse is the age of a person that is supposed to be young and fit but they are now fighting terminal cancer? Do we start dating because the person is not the person we remember and they are just going to die anyway?
If THAT is what the thought process has become about loving someone and being married to them, then I don’t want it.
