Just Love

My husband and I are quickly approaching 13 years of marriage. We were recently looking back at the vows taken in the backyard of our house, repeated after some preacher-man we hired at the last minute, whom we asked NOT to deliver a traditional union but did anyway. I don't think that I ever deliberately broke my vows, but I certainly never intended to serve and obey my husband; sometimes those were just the outcomes of a loving relationship for both of us. Whatever we promised, we have succeeded in making each other completely happy for the last 13 years. I wonder if anyone ever takes those vows seriously or if anyone actually believes that vowed love, sworn across the board, could ever be as good as randomly volunteered devotion.
