First Marriage IV: A Creed

God: Creed

I have a plan for bringing this marriage together. This marriage is an ecosystem where I will find a home.

At the close of my days, I desire to stand before God able to say:

I gave myself wholly to fulfil His will for our marriage.
I built and faithfully tended an atmosphere where His presence could dwell within our home.
And I gave my life in steadfast love for my wife—in word, in deed, and the quiet sacrifices unseen by others.

And that I will be bold to declare that our union is a living testimony of His grace.

At the close of my life, I long to say that

I gave myself wholly to fulfil God’s will for our marriage.
That I built and faithfully tended a home where His presence could dwell.
And that I joyfully submitted to the agape love of my husband—honouring him, walking beside him,

And reflecting the love of Christ in all my days.

Before we leave this home to start ours, we would have,

Given ourselves to be raised in the ecosystem of God.
We will have embraced God's love and walked in joyful submission to Him, so that our lives may reflect His truth wherever He leads us.
