From Wiki, and a tip of the hat to Bob Vander Plaats:
The Marriage Vow or "The Marriage Vow - A Declaration of Dependence Upon Marriage and Family" is a political pledge created by Bob Vander Plaats, a former candidate for Iowa governor, and the Iowa-based conservative group; The Family Leader, a public advocacy organization affiliated with the Iowa Family Policy Center, that he heads.[1] Signing the pledge, created in early July, was a requirement to receive any support from the organization. Signing the pledge entailed supporting a monogamous heterosexual definition of marriage, as well as backing a ban on pornography, abortion, and Sharia Law. Notable signees include Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum
Personal fidelity to their spouse
Respect for the marital bonds of others
Fidelity to the US constitution
Support for “faithful constitutionalists” as judges
Opposition to any redefinition of marriage that falls outside of heterosexual monogamous relationships
“Recognition of the overwhelming statistical evidence that married people enjoy better health, better sex, longer lives, greater financial stability, and that children raised by a mother and a father together experience better learning, less addiction, less legal trouble, and less extramarital pregnancy”
Reform of anti marriage portions of welfare policy
Extended “cooling off” periods for those seeking a divorce
Legal advocacy for the Defense of Marriage Act
Support for a federal marriage amendment to the US constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman
Opposition to human trafficking, sexual slavery, prostitution,
Prevention of seduction into promiscuity
Opposition to pornography. Although Plaats later clarified that the pledge just intended to prevent women from being coerced into pornography.[5]
Opposition to abortion and infanticide
Supporting safeguards to prevent sexual abuse in the military
Opposition to women serving in active combat roles in the military
Rejection of Sharia Islam
Rejection of all forms of anti-women totalitarian control
Recognition that childbearing is beneficial to “U.S. demographic, economic, strategic and actuarial health and security.”
Commitment to downsizing the government
Defense of religious liberty and freedom of speech.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
