The document contains promises from a spouse to their partner to: 1) control their temper and respond with soft answers instead of harsh words; 2) not keep track of their partner's mistakes; and 3) work to make their home welcoming to Christ. The spouse also promises to never divorce unless adultery occurs, look for the best in their partner, and do what is necessary to ensure they and their partner reach heaven. The promises are grounded in passages from the Bible about love, marriage, and faith.
