| 1 | origin of standard marital vows | Ex 24:7 | wordoer | 96145 | ||
| Hello mamere17, I think the principle is in scripture, it is not the same wording ,But I think the principles apply. I have been intending on doing a more thorough study on the subject, I hope this will suffice. Concerning, "for richer and poorer", I would relate that to when Israel was prosperous they would turn their back on God and go whoring after other gods. "in sickness and in health", The Lord said "I will never leave you or forsake you", which I would say applies here. "forsaking all others", The Lord said, "thou shalt have no other gods before Me" Exodus 20:3. "til death do you part", I believe the scripture uses the term, "all the days of your life" I believe the vows are scriptural in nature. After all, God is the one who gave us this institution of marriage, He married (entered into a covenant relationship with) Israel at Mount Sinai. Ex 24:7 Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!". And there is "obey", his woman Israel, said that. hope that helps you, wordoer |

| Dear Candice, I think wordoer has given you some good Scriptures to back the principles behind the traditional wedding vows. I've been racking my brain, because I remember reading somewhere or other how what we currently think of traditional vows has evolved. From what I recall, only the language has been modernized, although it still retains an Elizabethean sound to it. A very Biblically sound way to to see the whole ceremony is as a picture, rooted in the description found in Ephesians 5. In that picture the people in the marriage ceremony play roles; the minister plays the role of God, the groom plays the role of the Son, the father of the bride plays the role of the Holy Spirit, and the bride plays the role of the church (universal, invisible). The roles continue to paint a picture in the married life of the couple, as Paul explains. In Him, Doc |
