I have marriage vows I keep.
I follow them religiously.
They are not rules I have to obey.
They’re what my love looks like.
I don’t force myself to follow them;
I fulfill them because they give me joy.
I don’t post them. I don’t enforce them.
They’re not for others.
God has promised faithful love to us.
In response we say “I do.”
The Ten Commandments are our vows.
They’re not laws we have to obey;
they’re what our love of God looks like.
They’re not obligations; they’re our joy.
They’re not for anybody else.
But for those who desire intimate love with God
they are our delight.
