I vow to love you unconditionally, just as I love myself. I will be there for you through thick and thin, and I will always be your biggest supporter. I will never judge you, and I will always be there to listen. I promise to continue working on our relationship, even when I don’t feel like it. I will help you to grow and to heal, and I will always be your partner in life.

AA philosophy

I vow to live in the present moment with you, and to appreciate all the beauty that life has to offer. I will let go of the past, and I will not dwell on the future. I will focus on our love, and I will cherish every moment we have together.

Buddhist philosophy

I vow to be mindful of my thoughts, words, and actions, and to always choose love. I will speak kindly to you, and I will always treat you with respect. I will be patient with you, and I will always forgive you. I will love you with all my heart, and I will always be yours.

Yogic philosophy

Apache Wedding Blessing (We version)

Now we will feel no rain,
for each of us will be shelter for the other.
Now we will feel no cold,
for each of us will be warmth for the other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
for each of us will be companion for the other.
Now we are two persons,
but there is only one life before us.
We go now to our dwelling to enter into
the days of our lives together.
And may our days be good,
and long upon the earth.

I promise to love you like the trees love the sun, reaching for you always and growing stronger with every passing day.

I vow to love you like the ocean loves the shore, always coming back to you no matter how far I may go.

I promise to love you like the flowers love the rain, growing and blooming with every drop that falls.

I vow to be your partner in all of life's adventures, from hiking in the mountains to biking on the trails.

I vow to be your yoga partner and hold hands when we do supine twist.
