True and Loving Companion

[GROOM], please repeat after me.
I, [GROOM], take you, [BRIDE],
to be my lawfully wedded wife,
knowing in my heart
that you will be a faithful friend,
and a true and loving companion.
On this special day
in the presence of God, our relatives, and our friends,
I give to you my sacred vow
that as your husband,
I will always be with you and support you
in times of sickness and in health
and in times of joy and of sorrow.
I promise to love you completely
to console and comfort you during difficult times
to encourage you to achieve your full potential
to laugh with you and to grieve with you
to share with you life’s simplest but most enduring pleasures
to be truthful and honest with you
and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
