Vows

Noble Man,

Will you accept this woman into your life as your lawful wife, to live in oneness within the sanctity of marriage?

Will you commit to love her with the same integrity and vulnerability of your mind and heart as she has loved you with her body? Will you give to her your body with the same purity, passion and purpose as she has given you with her mind and heart? Will you comfort her and hold her in sickness and in health, sharing in laughter and tears through joys and pain, victories and losses for as long as you both live as one? Will you promise to taste the pleasures and walk through the lulls of life together, giving and receiving the riches of love, honor, respect and grace?

Virtuous Woman,

Will you accept this man into your life as your lawful husband, to live in oneness within the sanctity of marriage?

Will you commit to give him in abandonment and in integrity your body just as he has devoted his strength and his name to you? Will you give to him your mind and your heart with the same purity, passion and purpose as he has given you his body? Will you comfort him and hold in him in sickness and in health, sharing in laughter and tears through joys and pain, victories and losses for as long as you both live as one? Will you promise to taste the pleasures and walk through the lulls of life together, giving and receiving the riches of love, honor, respect and grace?
