I know Iv asked this before but I'm asking again. I am currently engaged getting married a month from today. My parents don't like him and I hate picking between them. I know my spouse comes after God once we are married but as of right now should my parents come first? I am still in there home.
Your spouse to be is a big part of your future and he should come first after God, not your parents. While you are still living in their home you should respect them and follow their rules until the day that you leave them and become one with your husband. It doesn't matter if your parents like him or not. That is often a typical reaction. Hopefully, they will warm up to him one day.

Do you take this woman to be your wife, your whole wife, and nothing but your wife?
It sounds more like an oath of enlistment in the US military than wedding vows. He probably should raise his right hand too.

Based on my own experiences, trust your parents. I'm sure they have your best interests at heart. Really listen to their concerns and then try to objectively evaluate them. Your parents have much more life experience than you as well, sowhat is important to you now probably wont matter as much in 5 years or 10 years.

When I got married, I focused alot on til death do us part and could I stay with him for the long haul. What I should have focused on was for better or worse for richer or poor in sickness and in health becuse that is where the marriage is really tested. You never know how bad "worse" "poor" or "sickness" can get. Be sure that your husband can be your partner in those times and not the opposition.
