Our Marriage and Ring Vows

Andy

Marriage Vow
Dawn, this day before God as our witness and these friends, I receive you into my life to be one with you in marriage. As Christ loves the church and gave himself for her, so I gave myself for you to be a loving, faithful, and godly husband.

As Christ is head of the church and is responsible for her, so this day, by the grace of God, I assume full responsibility for you, not only materially, but also physically, emotionally and spiritually. No matter where the Lord may lead us, I pledge you my life, as a loving and faithful husband.

Ring Vow
Dawn, as God has demonstrated throughout history His relationship with man giving a token as a sign of His covenant with man, so I too give you this ring as a token of my new relationship with you.

Marriage Vow
Beng, this day before God and these witnesses, I commit myself to you in marriage, knowing that God meant us for each other. I accept my responsibility to submit to you as the head of our household as a service to the Lord. I will strive to bring our children up in the love of God, instructing them always in His ways.

Today, I covenant and promise, before God and these witnesses to be your loving and faithful wife; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live, according to God’s holy ordinance. No matter where the Lord may lead us, I pledge you my life, as a loving and faithful wife.

Ring Vow
Beng, as God has demonstrated throughout history His relationship with man giving a token as a sign of His covenant with man, so I too give you this ring as a token of my new relationship with you.
