The Declaration of Intent to Marry 25

​The apostle Paul compared the relationship between husband and wife to that between Christ and the church. Marriage is a decision of two individuals to share the same type of pure, Christian love described by Paul in I Corinthians 13:4-8 – Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfish, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts always hopes, and is always ready to endure whatever comes. Love never fails…

Two lives, shared with this kind of love, can hold more fulfillment and happiness than either life alone.

Groom, are you ready to enter into marriage with Bride, believing the love you share and your faith in each other will endure all things? If so, say, “I am.”
