I vow to perform my role as keeper of the home with joy, taking care of the domestic affairs, freeing you for God’s calling on your life. I want to create a home for you. One of order, peace, refuge, comfort, love, fun, and warmth. A haven that is inviting, clean, and a magnet drawing us in. One you feel admired and appreciated in. One in which you can feel the love and serenity of Christ. I want to have a heart for our home.

I vow to intercede for you through earnest prayer, lifting you up to the Lord. I will fight for our marriage with all my strength through prayer. I want to remember that we are a cord of three strands. Also, I want to remember the devil is the enemy, not you.

I vow to keep my covenant till death do us part. This is a lifelong commitment to you. There is nothing that you and I cannot conquer with the help of the Lord. Divorce will not be an option and I will not allow it to enter my mind. On our marriage day, you become the only man in the world for me.

I vow to keep our marriage bed pure. I will put the utmost importance on guarding my thoughts and heart from anything impure and unfaithful. I will keep the standard of not doing or saying anything that I would not do or say with you next to me. I will not put myself in compromising situations that could cause you or others to question my devotion to you. I want you to be able to say without a doubt that you have full confidence in me. I do not want to ever cause you the pain of jealousy. I will not allow another man to take your place in my heart, mind, or time.

I vow to fulfill my marital duty as your wife as explained in 1 Corinthians 7. When we become one, I yield authority of my body to you. I do not want to deprive you, but to initiate and respond to you, reminding myself that sex within marriage is a beautiful gift from God and a reminder of our covenant of oneness.

I vow to take care of my body, both for my health and as a way to show love to you. I will put effort into the way I present myself to you. I will strive to appeal to your tastes in what you find attractive.

I vow to be your teammate, partnering with you and pulling in the same direction. I want to initiate a deepening friendship with you as we continue to learn more about each other and grow. I want to enjoy life with you as your companion. I want to love you, realizing that you are the Lord’s precious son whom I have been blessed with the joyous task of loving, serving, and helping. I want to remember the things I did from the beginning to show you my love and adoration. I will intentionally cultivate a deepening love for you.

I vow to partner with you in raising our children, remaining a united front and team. I want to model love and respect for our children through the way I talk to you and about you, and through my actions and attitude towards you. Even after children come, you will remain my number one priority. I believe the best way to love children is through loving their father, letting them feel the security in the home.

I vow to keep my relationship with God first, followed by you, then the children, then the home, and then ministry outside the home. I never want to get these priorities out of order.

I vow to seek the power from the Holy Spirit to live worthy of the calling I have received as your wife.

Apart from God, I can do nothing
