Don't Write Your Own Marriage Vows

[Johny Joe Hold]

It's popular today for couples to think their relationship is different, more special than others. To reinforce this opinion, couples want to write their own marriage vows. Landover Baptist provides the Biblically correct vows, don't tamper or change them.

To verify that LBC vows are correct, I've attached some examples of Biblical vows. You can see the man pledges to take the leadership role in the union. The women pledges to obey and submit to the man. If couples start to tinker with the proper vows, it could cause God in invalidate the marriage.

Ugh! I just hate it when couples get all "creative" with their wedding vows. They make such a fuss about it being their special day when what they are doing is demonstrating The Lord's relationship with His church.

It's funny that all the brides think that they are soooo special, but they all wear a white gown that adheres to the current fashion trend. In the 80's the dresses all had puffy sleeves and every bride was a walking pouf. Then strapless gowns were the rage and every bride looked like a lounge singer at best or a harlot at worst.

I can only assume that Landover banned strapless gowns. Seriously, who wears a strapless dress to church?

The first 2 or 3 times I let my ex-wives do it their way and that didn't work out AT ALL. So now I let my lawyers deal with it and wallah, no more problems.

In Godless Britain, the wife's promise to obey has far too frequently been discarded. I would never have married a man who permitted that! That particular promise - which both my beloved Matthew and I hold dear - is the very foundation of marital joy.

God has put the man as leader of the house. When fools try to invert this design, sin creeps its way into your home. Have a look at families in liberal cities and tell me if that looks appropriate to you!

The thing is, if the wife promises to "love, honor and obey", it's a contract. It's decided. Putting "obey' in the vows makes mandatory. There should not be confusion about who is in charge.

And what about hymns? Apparently the congregation don't need ever to have heard it. And the organist?

Yes, a dynamic artist can retune the pipes for "glitch" (more common in big stage productions as sound effects – but it can be done) and those things will pump out more noise than a jet engine (in the right hands) so project lyrics on a big screen and stand well back. Preferably outside. What follows is certainly a creative wedding choice, "edgy" even, but can anyone sing it or hear themselves over the organ? And to deal with the confusion, I should include the words.
