We are committed to serving you and doing all I can to contribute to your future happiness in marriage. Toward that aim, we are willing to provide you with marriage preparation lessons and also to conduct your Christian wedding ceremony based on the following commitments:
1) Your commitment to and profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
2) Your commitment to completing the homework assignments and successfully completing all the premarital counseling sessions.
3) Your commitment to sexual purity during your engagement period. (Meaning you will not live together nor have sexual contact before your wedding night.)

I agree to the above conditions and have made/am making these commitments.
