About this ebook
There used to be a time when a man's word was his bond; and he would do anything in his power to keep his word. Not so these days. People in general don't take their words or their promises seriously anymore. So, it is not surprising that we say Marriage vows that we don't mean; and we make promises that we have no intention of keeping.
In this simple and plane booklet, ‘Understand Your Marriage Vows’, Rev. Tony Peters (a Marriage Coach in the UK) helps you understand the four crucial promises you are making when you say your marriage vows, and what it means to honour them in a way that is pleasing to God and honouring to your spouse.
