Superhero Inside, Villain Outside

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It’s full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything
The book of love has music in it
In fact that’s where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb
But I
I love it when you sing to me
And you
You can sing me anything
The book of love is long and boring
And written very long ago
It’s full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
And things we’re all too young to know
But I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

His vows:

    “I love you. I love with a fierce and unshakable love that will make any of these words seem superficial and inadequate. But I ask you to let my life communicate the truths that these vows will suffer to say. I want to commit to you to never lose sight of my Savior Jesus. I will not compromise my time, or my energy or passion or placing anything ahead of knowing God more fully. I can be a safe place of comfort and stability in storms of uncertainty because I can promise to never abandon my safe place, in the cleft of the Rock of Ages. I will work in all seasons and all conditions til my fingers gnarl with calluses so that I can build you a home and keep us fed inside of it, but that work will never take the place of play, which will remain at the top of my list of things to do with you. I won’t ever excel the sparkle of our youth to the robber of the age it isn’t. I don’t need you. I hope you see strength in that statement. I need Christ and Him alone. He is my sustenance, and my portion and my provider,
and my father and my friend, but I choose you because God loved me, I have a choice and because he gave me His wisdom, I chose absolutely flawlessly. I am imperfect, but I am committed to the process of learning to be a better husband by God’s spirit.”

Her vows:

    “Today is the day I have waited for my entire life, and I want to thank you for pursuing the heart of God in order to find me. You’re worth the wait. Today I commit to live a full and rich life with you. Full in adventure and rich in love, trusting the Lord for everything we could ever need or more. I commit to build with you a marriage and a legacy for our children, piece-by-piece, brick by brick, day by day, year by year, loving the moment, hoping for the future, trusting for the present, and living for the Kingdom. Amen.”

    Watch this and be blessed by a couple’s desire to give God all the glory with the lives that they so clearly understand have been gifted to them.

this is love, waiting and pursuing God first and letting God court the heart of each other for one another.
