do you think they are just silly and old fashioned and not worth honoring? Do you both live up to your wedding vows or just do whatever you like? If you honored your vows, would your relationship be better or not? Why don't more folks honor their wedding vows? Do you even remember any of your vows? What good are the vows?

My husband and I are going through what could be tough times right now, in a financial sense. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, through no fault of theirs, and life just happens. I guess it could be much worse if I were to impose my expectations on him, instead of understanding that this is just one of those curve balls life occasionally throws you. Through our strong faith in God, we stand strong together, instead of tearing each other down- because we did make that vow to each other. Too many times, people get confused about their role as a husband or wife. You make a commitment to be a team- that means you must leave behind- not your identity- but your self centeredness, (it takes two who agree and act on this philosophy daily) to love and honor that person in all you do. It should not be taken any more lightly than any other agreement, such as between business partners. Honorable people live up to their vows and agreements.

A marriage is a marriage. There is no divorce in marriage. A vow, either a wedding vow or best friend vow, should be treated as a vow- never broken! Our relationship is better because we honor our vows to each other. A marriage is a vow to be with each other. Today, it is too easy to get and be divorced.

Yes, they are important because it is a commitment we are making to each other in the presence of God. So far, we have both lived up to our vows. Vows are there for a reason. They keep the relationship in "check" and when followed only strengthen your bond. Unfortunatley, the pressures and influences of this world, coupled with human weakness and tendency towards sin, suck people into violating these vows. I do remember most of my vows. Without reciting each word, the best part of the vows is promising to be there for each other in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, til death do you part. About 50% of our married population do not get that far.

Some weddings are traditional, some are not. At my wedding, the pastor told us that if he thought we were too nervous, he wouldn't make us say our vows, so we didn't have to say them. Please note: We are divorced now! I think that whenever people get married, they should honor their vows to every last word!! I guess that makes me hipocritical, but I truely believe that now. I was kinda young and stupid when i got married. You should have knowledge of the vows and what they mean before you get married.

marrariage institution was made by God and he laid the foundermentals as to how it shd work
and who ever put it into recitals i dont know
but its supposed to be according to the vows
but 80% of people think they can live with all the words in the vow
but when it comes to reality only a few are putting it to work
those who truely value God and his laws
if both parties are not true christains
then each one will do his own thing
