circumstances, as we face them together. In the joys and sorrows, the good times and bad, in sickness or in health, I will always be there for you, to comfort you, love you, honor and cherish you, now and forevermore."
"_______________________, I vow to be your faithful husband / wife. I offer you my pure and true love and my unwavering support throughout all our lives. As I stand here now, and in the presence of God and these witnesses, I commit myself to you. As we grow and share together, I shall encourage you and strive to help you achieve your full potential as God's creation, then I will celebrate your progress. I give myself to you as I am and as I will be, for all of my life."
"I acknowledge my love for you and invite you to share my life as I hope to share yours. I promise to walk by your side, to love, help and encourage you. I vow to take time to share with you, to listen and to care. I will share your laughter and your tears as your partner, lover and friend. I promise always to respect you and honor you as an individual and to be conscious of your needs. I shall seek through kindness and compassion to achieve with you the life we have planned together."

"Until I met you, marriage-type love was an abstract thing I only read about in poems, heard sung in romantic love songs, or read about in books; but when I met you I knew for the first time what it was to experience this type of love within my heart. You have made me a believer in the real thing, in the promise of a love that will last a lifetime. There is nothing more important to me in my life than your love; I value it above money, power or position. I rejoice in our love, and I promise to walk by your side with a constancy that only comes from unreserved commitment, and it is this commitment I make to you now as I take you as my husband / wife, from this day forward and so long as we both shall live."
"_______________________, I give myself to you on this, our wedding day, and I promise to be a faithful husband / wife, not only for today, as we celebrate our marriage in this beautiful sanctuary, but as an ongoing commitment, through all the ups and downs of life. I do not expect you to fulfill all my dreams, just as I cannot fulfill all of yours, but I do ask that you share your dreams with me so that I may be your help mate throughout all the years of our lives, and this is my promise."
"It took me a long time to finally find someone I wanted to marry; in fact, my friends used to tease me and said my goals were too high. My goals were high...very high, but they were met when I found you.
