I suggest that instead of the pastor reading these vows and asking the couples to say after them, the pastors should help them to come out with the vows and read it or say it all by themselves so that the issue of I was asked to recite after the pastor does not arise as often as is the case with some couples. If we do not re-look at the form of the vows in our marriages, it can mire the beauty of our marriages especially of late.

Of course, no two human individuals are expected to live together without disagreement. But it should not be to the extent that we are experiencing it among many couples as we see recently, being very mindful of the vows that were undertaken. Most couples disgrace and make their partners useless simply because of a disagreement.

I was so so saddened when a woman who has been married close to 25 yrs told me her husband insulted her stinking vagina. Readers excuse my language, but that is the reality. This was done in private but to the public glare. The woman too said that she was going to curse him for doing that.

I really appreciate this statement in sample thirteen (above) "to allow God to use you to build His qualities in me". Thank You for these useful resources.
