Marriage Vows

I was watching a Christian program the other day and decided that I was ready to stop watching the program and get into the scriptures. The statement that came out of my mouth was: "alright, I've heard from the marriage counselor, now I'm going to read the marriage vows." That's what the Bible is, our Husband has given us His vows, His promises, and what He expects from us, His bride. A relationship with Jesus is very much a bridal relationship. And He really expects very little of us: faithfulness, love, commitment. If we can offer these things so willingly to our earthly spouses, who in context have only faded, temporary joy to offer us in return, how much more should we offer them to our eternal Husband, who offers us nothing short of bliss, eternally? Give of yourself freely to Him who has given everything for you.
