"Luck" has had nothing to do with it...

We renewed our vows to each other this St. Patrick's Day, after 10 years of marriage and surviving more than a couple of marital crises...

My Beloved, this is my covenent to you and our God:

I will be faithful to God by seeking His truth and guidance daily

I will be committed to honesty and integrity.

I will connect regularly with God-fearing men in our community to help strengthen my faith in the Lord.

I will be committed to maintaining sexual purity and obeying His commands.

I will be faithful to you, Beloved, by loving you as modeled in Ephesians 5, "just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her to make her holy..."

I will love you as my own body and self.

I will continually lift you up in prayer, and will pray with humility, out of submission to God, so I may admit when I'm wrong.

I promise to continue taking spiritual leadership in our home as God has placed me as your head.

And, I will be proactive in planning for our future together, and the future of our children.

I love you!

My Lover, my Husband:

My promise to you is to--first and foremost--be faithful to our Lord God.

I will try to always be teachable, keeping a soft heart toward God.

I will strive to understand His Word, listen to His voice, and always be obedient.

I promise to be faithful to you emotionally, physically and spiritually, regarding you as my head, submitting to you in everything as to the Lord.

I will continue in my quest to be a wife of noble character, so that everything I do will bring glory to God and will bring good to you all the days of my life...

I love you!
