In today’s world, some couples break up at the first sign of distress. Before I got married I decided that I would do my best to stay married. I vowed to do my part to keep the marriage strong. So after 16 years of marriage, I labeled myself a ride or die wife. I have my husband’s back and I’m staying through thick and thin. You want to know what makes me a ride or die wife? I’m honoring my vows.
1. For better or for worse – I have stayed with my husband. We have had plenty of better and worse. Our marriage has had great times when I fall in love with him over and over. And our marriage has had times where I questioned marrying him. We have had plenty of arguments and disagreements and yes I’ve had thoughts of leaving, but I never did…so I’m a ride or die wife.
2. For richer or for poorer – We have both been employed, one of us unemployed, and both of us unemployed. Since money is the number one reason for divorce and I’m still in the marriage, I’m a ride or die wife.
3. In sickness and in health – We are going through that now. My husband has an illness that rendered him temporarily disabled. It has been a hard road, but he is on the way to being healed. Some may not be able to handle an illness or disability, but because I’m honoring that vow, I’m a ride or die wife.
4. To love and to cherish – Yes I will love my husband even when I’m mad at him. He is the head of our household, the father of my children and a man of God. To cherish means to value and appreciate. I do cherish my husband because he is indeed valuable. Since I love and cherish my husband, I’m a ride or die wife.
Marriage is a ride for two. There will be smooth roads where you can close your eyes and relax and there will be bumpy roads where you have to hold on a little tighter and work with your husband to get over the humps. Don’t be so quick to jump off the ride when it gets scary, hold on and ride that ride.

It’s called How to Have a Ride or Die Wife. Search my name, LaToya Irving and my articles should come up.
19 years come February, I’ve been riding for 17 of these years feeling dead inside. If it wasn’t for my love for the Lord. and taking His word seriously, I may have left a long time ago. But with God, and my faithfulness, my husband has returned to his roots (Christ) and we are back on top.
Amen Ethel!!!! Nothing is impossible with God!!!!
I think this is awesome, My wife has this mindset. I only wish that some (males) men would adopt this mindset for themselves,. JD
I love these type of articles because as a Ride or Die husband that doesn’t have a ride or die wife I love to hear other wives talk about their husbands!!!
THANK YOU!! SAY THAT!!!
& HE HAS TO BE A RIDE OR DIE HUSBAND!!!
Yes ma’am Geneva!!! I wrote an article on that.
Where is it located?
Ooooh, I’m a SUPER DEE DUPER RIDE OR DIE, Wife! As I read through the article, I began to think about all of the things we’ve been through in the four years of our Marriage. Leaving my Husband at the Airport of his home country Jamaica and going back home without him and only seeing him twice in one year before he was able to come back home finally after I reached out to my congressman who NEVER got back to so much as even an email or phone call. It was with the help of My Senator that enabled to get my Boothangband ( that’s what I call my husband *blushing*) home.
Being the Wife of someone who isn’t a Citizen isn’t easy considering the current political climate. So I ride and fight hard for mine.. In it for the long haul
