Honor and Obey? Not For Me!
“My answer will be short because the one prohibition for my wedding was in the vows. I ensured that the phrase “to love, honor and OBEY” were not uttered. I know me – somewhat of a traditionalist – but only when a role is CHOSEN, not assigned because of gender. I didn’t feel it necessary to promise to do something that I would never do – on principle alone!
Approaching 20 years, my husband sometimes still teases me if we have a disagreement and I’ve dug my feet in on the issue. He’ll say “hey, weren’t you supposed to love, honor and OBEY?! … oh yeah, you did say you wouldn’t “obey,” didn’t you!” (He thinks he’s being funny!)” Story credit: Quora / Shelia Gulledge
