From this moment on I have two main purposes for my life: To serve the LORD Jesus Christ with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to present you to him at the end of your life without stain, wrinkle, or blemish.  To accomplish this I promise to pray with you daily, to surrender my life and my selfishness to you more and more everyday, to listen and really understand what you are saying, to fill your life with fun and excitement, to work hard to provide everything you need, and to never leave you.  All these are impossible without the help of God.  With his guidance, your life will be extraordinary.  To have you as my wife is a blessing beyond measure.  I am honored to be your husband

Start in Scripture and speak to God’s design for marriage. Those are promises worth vowing and keeping, no matter the cost. Next, think back to your pre-marital counseling sessions where you heard your fiancé’s dreams and fears for marriage. Speak to those in a way that respects his private thoughts as you publicly vow, but that shows him you have deeply considered all those aspects of marriage that are vital to him.
