Marriage Vows
RUSS / CHIN, today I
become your (wife/husband) and you become my (husband/wife). I
will strive to give you the best of myself, while accepting you the way you
are. I promise to respect you as a whole person with your own interests,
desires, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no
less important than my own. I promise to work by your side to achieve the
things we value and dream of, and to savor our time together. I promise to keep
myself open to you, to let you in to my innermost fears and feelings, secrets
and dreams. I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as
we both change, keeping our relationship alive and exciting. And finally, I
promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all
that I am, in the only way I know how — completely and forever. I pledge to
you all of these things from the bottom of my heart for the rest of our lives.
