Wayne & Ruth's Marital Vows

Saturday, June 01, 2002
Wayne:
Ruthie, today as I take you to myself to be my life partner, I thank God that in His omniscience he has brought us together. The Word of God teaches that "he who finds a wife has found a good thing, and is blessed by God." I have been blessed by God in finding that good thing in you and I commit my life to the most wonderful gift the Lord has ever given to me; and, Ruthie, know in your heart and in your mind that apart from my own relationship with the Lord, I will cherish nothing more than I do you. I do and will love you as Christ loved the church, His bride, and I will honor you as a child of God and as my divinely chosen wife. All that I have and all that I am, I give to you. And, I will love you until death do us part or until the Lord comes again and takes us both home to be with Him for eternity. I adore you, I need you, and from this day forth I belong to you and to you alone.
Ruth:
Wayne, because we are both at peace in the assurance that our Lord planned and blesses our coming together, I entrust my life and my love to you from this day forward.
I come to you with my need for your strength, your understanding, and your tender care -- needs you have so lovingly developed in me by completely filling them for me.
I will strive with Christ's help to be a sensitive, gentle, and godly wife, and with His strength and guidance I'll stand with you through everything. I'll laugh with you and share your happiness, but as well, I'll comfort you in your sadness. I'll care for you when you're ill. I'll honor you in your hours of strength. And, I'll joyfully submit to you as the head of our home because I respect you and your integrity and because God planned that it should be this way.
Forsaking all others I will keep myself to you until death shall temporarily separate us. And with our own love molded and directed by our Father in heaven, we will become one even while we are yet two.
