COMMITTED
Beloved of my soul
I promise, all my life, to love God more than you and love you more than all people and things; I also promise to seek, with all my might, my own happiness, because my happiness is to see you happy.
I promise to love you, just as Christ is pleased and cared for in his church; and I will give my life for you, just as Christ was crucified and killed by his church; and be faithful to you until death do us part, just as Christ will never abandon his church.
I promise never to forget that you are only a sinner forgiven by God’s mercy; So I also promise to be merciful to your sins and patient with your imperfections; And pray for you incessantly, that every day you may be transformed and according to the image and likeness of Jesus; I also promise to guide you on the path of God’s knowledge, God’s love, and obedience to God.
May the power of God, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the intercession of the Holy Ghost help me fulfill each of these vows and to be an excellent husband for the glory of God and for our joy Amen!

The love of my soul
I promise, all my life, to love God more than you and love you more than all people and things; I also promise to seek, with all my might, my own happiness, because my happiness is to see you happy.
I promise to love you, just as the church is pleased in your Christ and honors him; And be submissive to you, as the Church is subject to your Christ in all; and be faithful to you, until death do us part, as the Church never abandons her Christ.
I promise never to forget that you are only a sinner forgiven by God’s mercy; So I also promise to be merciful to your sins and patient with your imperfections; and pray incessantly for you that every day you may be transformed and according to the image and likeness of Jesus. I also promise to be your helper on the path of God’s knowledge, God’s love, and obedience to God.
May the power of God, the grace of Jesus Christ, and the intercession of the Holy Ghost help me fulfill each of these vows and be an excellent wife for the glory of God and for our joy Amen!
