    until you grow old

    Really hope they mean “as you grow old”.

      Well, the odds of one partner passing first are a lot higher than both going at the same time :( but that’s a problem for future we.

      Isn’t this just phrasing it differently? “Until you’re old” doesn’t imply anything different than “as you grow old” to me.

          Maybe if it was “until you die”, but I read it as getting old being the change, not the relationship changing

        As an old person with my same old spouse, I’m glad it didn’t have to end as soon as we got here. We’re going to continue growing older and older together, because as much as getting old sucks, it would be worse all alone.
