I have a question, is the word "obey" in each person's vows, or just the bride's? Now, that, I wouldn't allow, simply becuase it takes away balance from the relationship. If it's in both, then that's cool with me.
I have no problem obeying my man in some instances, just as I would hope he would have no problems obeying me in certain instances. I would like to think that I would KNOW my groom inside and out, and I wouldn't marry a man who would take our vows out of context and become a dictator.
I do believe that a man should be the head of the household. I would never want to be the head of the household, if for nothing more than aesthetic purposes: I don't want my man looking like a little b*tch.
I do like AKA2D's idea of just writing your own vows. AKAtude, would your pastor allow that? Go 'head and let them wigglin' fingers touch the keyboard! LMAO!!!
