Ministers are now to ask the bride: "Will you honour and submit to him, as the church submits to Christ?". The bride then pledges "to love and submit" to her husband.
The Archbishop of Sydney, Peter Jensen, told ABC television: "In the last three or four decades a certain egalitarianism has crept into society and the way people think and I understand that's the reigning philosophy.
"I just happen to think it's wrong, unhelpful, and in the end we will find it's better to recognise that men and women are different, that we have at certain points different responsibilities and men will be better men if we acknowledge that."
The new vow has triggered public criticism with some saying it sounds like a request from Fifty Shades of Grey.
