Things will happen during the relationship, good and bad. If you feel like you can tell each other everything, it will prevent infidelities, etc. If you can talk about urges, feelings, mistakes, regrets openly without fear of ruining the relationship, that is a great relationship.
You should also promise to always honor and respect each other.
well, i'm not married and i dont know many succesful married couples, but i promised myself 4 things i would always try and keep to keep my own marrige succesful;
1 - never cheat
2 - never lie
3 - always have special times for eachother
4 - dont keep secrets
i decided these cos you want to be as close as you can to the person you love and the one you're married to, right?
What I expect from my husband..(and what I will give him)
Is for him to always put my feelings into consideration before making big decisions. (i will do the same from him). To do what he thinks is best for the family and for him to talk with me about what he wants to do and what he thinks we should do.
To be honest, even if he knows I won't like what I will hear. To be faithful. To be selfless. To be good to our children. To love me with his whole heart and mind.
I think the only promise you can actually keep is this:
Promise to try.
Try to work through issues, try to love each other like you deserve to be loved, try to provide, try to listen, try to be honest, try to work hard, try to own your mistakes and try to remember each day is a gift.
Here is a sample of vows. It would sum everything up for me.
I, (name), take you, (name), to be my friend, my lover, the (mother/father) of my children and my (husband/wife). I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.
