25 Wedding Vow Promises You Can Steal (Romantic, Meaningful & Ready to Use)

Hey, friend!

Let me guess—you’re getting married soon and really want to write your own wedding vows… but when it comes to putting your love into words, you’re staring at a blank page.

You’re not a poet.

You’re not even really a writer.

You just want to say something real, something meaningful, and something you.

No worries—I’ve got you.

Here’s a list of 25 wedding vow promises you can steal, tweak, or totally make your own.

These are heartfelt, personal, and perfect for couples who want to speak from the heart without the stress of starting from scratch.

25 Wedding Vow Promises You Can Steal:

1. I promise to love you in direct, personal, and ever fresh ways.

2. I promise to love the new you every year.  

3. I promise to love you with an action-like love, to lay down my pride as I humbly and selflessly serve you. 

4. I promise to put you before anyone or anything else. 

5. I promise to be slow to speak, quick to listen, and quick to forgive. 

6. I promise to be your prayer warrior. 

7. I promise to affirm you in public and in private.

8. I promise to view your differences as a gift rather than a hindrance. That you are giving me a gift and a perspective of the world that I do not have. That together, with our unique differences, we will go further as a team rather than faster by ourselves. 

9. I promise to continue being a student of myself as well as of you.

10. I promise to seek community, wise council, and to invest in self-care so I can pour from a full cup. 

11. I promise to motivate, challenge, and help you grow into the man/woman, husband/wife, and father/mother you were always meant to be. 

12. I promise to use my words to communicate my thoughts, feelings, and needs instead of assuming you’re a mind-reader.

13. I promise to ask more questions than I make assumptions.

14. I promise to take care of you when you’re sick. 

15. I promise to respect and honor you. 

16. I promise to follow and trust your judgement.

17. I promise to encourage you to spend quality time with friends. 

18. I promise to combat the darkness with humor and unrelenting joy.

19. I promise to be faithful.

20. I promise to confess when I’ve screwed up and ask for forgiveness. 

21. I promise not to keep secrets.  

22. I promise to lean into hard discussions, to hold your hand and take a deep breath, remembering that we are on the same team.

23. I promise to shower you with physical affection and continue writing you love notes. 

24. I promise to commit to date night. 

25. Life is short and unpredictable, so I promise to tell you that I love you every chance I get. I won’t hold back.
