Honor (mention her name) to assist the bible bearer)

Minister: Since _______ & ______ committed their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ, this
wedding ceremony and this marriage will be based on the eternal word of God. His
word is the final authority of our conduct, values and beliefs. When we look t the word of
God concerning man, woman and marriage, we see first and foremst that God is the

guidelines that id followed will ensure happiness and success in marriage and if ignored
will eventually led to misery and failure.

Let me share with you _____ & ______ the principle of PECE and ORDER “ When
there is order, there is peace, and when there is peace, there is order”. Have you ever
been to public toilet and saw the sign written on top of the bowl that sys “ OUT OF
ORDER”--- what does that men?—it means that it is broken. Many lives, families and
marriages are broken today because their life is out of order.

You my ask, what is God’s order concerning marriage?—I’m glad you ask because God
has an answer to every man's question.

EPH. 5: 22 Wives, submit to your husbands s to the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife s Christ is the head of the church, his body,
of which he is the Savior. 24 Now s the church submits to Christ, so also wives should
submit to their husbands in everything.
