I, Ryan, choose you, Brittany, to be my wife. I will do my best to love you the way that Jesus loves his bride, the church. I will encourage you daily. I will provide for you emotionally, physically and spiritually. I will pray for you and I will listen to you. I will respect you as a woman. I will honor you as a child of the most high God. I will be gentle towards you. I will challenge you to grow in your faith. I will hold you accountable to a high standard of purity. I will forgive you and apologize to you. I will lead you with humility. Our family’s spiritual development will be my highest priority. I will bow to my wants and desires. I will surround myself with Godly friends who make Godly decisions. I will have accountability in my life. I will hide God’s word in my heart daily. I will not settle for anything other than God’s best for us. I will not be arrogant. I will not raise my voice at you. I will not cheat on you. I will love you for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until we are separated by death. God as my witness, I give you my promise and I give you my heart.

I will be your friend. I will challenge you to grow in your faith. I will hold you accountable to a high standard of purity. I will provide for you emotionally, physically and spiritually. I will forgive you and I will apologize to you. Our home will be my priority. I will be a Proverbs 31 woman. I will surround myself with Godly friends who make Godly decisions. I will have accountability in my life. I will hide God’s word in my heart daily. I will not criticize you. I will not compare you to other men. I will not cheat on you. I will love you for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until we are separated by death. As God as my witness, I give you my promise and I give you my heart.
