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.
