Bert and I went about doing the dares strong willed and God involved. When we put God first in our marriage, everything else fell into place. We have been having a rough patch for the past few months, but with our marriage mentors and reading daily in the bible, it's really helped release extra stress. God has come into our lives and heard our prayers. We have been happier in the past few days as we have been in the whole five years!!! We pray every night and morning as a couple and are regullarly going to church as a couple. Things are better than ever, thanks to God and the Love Dare. Love is out there, you just have to fight for it and fireproof your marriage!
This really has been the best VALENTINES DAY Gift I could have given our marriage, beats flowers, chocolates, ect.
Writing today's vows, I found myself putting words from the Love Dare in there. Words like Biggest Fan, the verse from Ruth, even included the words Love Dare, but I really want to make this a testament to the value of marriage in Gods eyes and the high honor of being one with my husband! I have listed my vows. I was watching Just Married last night. Found the best opening part my vows from that movie. =) But I loved it. And it's so true!!!
Heather: I,Heather Guidry, take you, Bert Guidry, to be my wedded husband. Some days, we love each other. Some days we have to work at loving each other. You never see the hard days in a photo album, but those are the ones that get you from one happy snap shot to the next. Bert Guidry, I will first live unto our God and then unto you, loving you, always respecting, caring for you, and seeking to please you. God has prepared us with the Love Dare in 40 days, for the rest of our life. God has worked over time to prepare you for me. I will always do my best to be your biggest fan, through out life, no matter what may be ahead of us. Where ever you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Most of all, our marriage will be ours. I give myself to you and commit to this marriage for life. I take you Bert Guidry, to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live.
Heather: Bert, I love you. I prayed that God would lead me to his choice. Today, I take you to be my husband. Together we will create a home, under God, becoming part of one another God wants us to become. I vow to help create a life that we can cherish, inspiring your love for me, and mine for you. I vow to be honest, caring and truthful, to love you as you are and not as I want you to be, and to grow old together by each others side as your love and best friend.
