Wedding Vows Joke
During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer.
"I'll give you $100 if you'll change the wedding vows," the groom said.
"When you get to me and the part where it asks if I promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'forsaking all others, be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that part out."
He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked away satisfied.
The day of the wedding arrived, and they reached the part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged.
When it came time for the groom's vows, the pastor looked him in the eye and said: "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every wish and command, serve her breakfast in bed each and every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?
"The groom gulped, looked around, and replied in a meek voice, "Yes."
After the wedding, the groom pulled the pastor aside and hissed, "I thought we had a deal!"
The pastor put the $100 bill into the groom's hand and whispered, "Sorry, son, she made me a much better offer."

Love....
• Love is the platform for any meaningful relationship.
• When love is missing, you only endure and not enjoy the union

Lord, let the wine of perfect love continue to flow into our marriages.

• Romance
• Touch
• Time
• Tenderness

Waits Patiently.

• Many of us have problem with patience. Minor things get on our nerves and makes us loose our cool.
• What if you could be a little more patience with your spouse, the fighting and yelling would have been averted.
• Many need to enroll in the school of long suffering. Some things don't just happen as planned. You need to wait for some things to change in her life
• Your impatience is ruining your marriage. True love bears and is patient.
• It forgives easily and does not keep record. It eliminates nagging and unfair criticism

Serves
When you love your spouse, serving them is not an issue at all. Helping around the kitchen or the yard is not a burden

• If you feel you are wasting your life and years with someone, it is because true love is not in place.
• Whatever needed to be done to keep a marriage with Rachel, Jacob was willing to do it including hard labor
• He literally worked 40-50 hours per week for Laban for 7 years without compensation …and it didn't bother him.

You cannot truly loves and be cheating on your spouse.

Sacrifices

• Jacob put down 14 years of his life for Rachel because of love. You cannot truly love a person and be unwilling to sacrifice. True love costs
• It was pleasant, not a burden, not a drag because love ran freely like tonic in his system. Jacob was a happy man.
• The years went by quickly and sweetly. Jacob was in love. He served with joy, he enjoyed every bit of the moment because the wine of love was flowing freely.
