## Summary

Chris Harrison has returned to reality dating television with *The Vow*, a series built around Christianity, commitment and the search for marriage. Its first two episodes contrasted that approach with what Harrison described as a dating culture shaped by swiping and short-lived relationships, while contestants debated what traditional marriage and being a “trad wife” mean today.

Thirty-year-old Jace Cates, a mortgage loan officer from Oregon, met 10 women at a Texas Hill Country property, where the group prayed and worked together to prepare for the evening. He sent Kierstin Zankl home, then chose Mya Draper for a horseback-riding date; they discussed past heartbreak and shared a kiss. Other contestants spoke about independence, staying at home to raise children, and waiting until marriage to have sex.
