What is a vow? 

Certainly, we associate vows with religious traditions, but in a far more practical sense vows are expressions of commitment.  Essentially, the Groom promises and the Bride promises.  They exchange their heart commitments expressed in words.

What are the promises in this set of sample wedding vows?

Groom: I (name), take you (name) for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Bride: I (name), take you (name) for my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Keep in mind the commitments may be the same from Bride to Groom or them may be very different.

Consider this set of sample wedding vows.

Groom: I (name), take you (name) to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for richer or poorer, to provide for you and protect you, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherich till death do us part. And thereto I plight thee my troth.

Bride: II (name), take you (name) to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, to love, cherich, and respect till death do us part. And thereto I plight thee my troth.

Do you see the slight difference in the pledges. These subtle difference can make a big difference in the relationship of husband and wife.

In the first set, there is a mutuality expressed with not differentiation in roles.

In the second set, the groom commits to provide for and protect the bride while the bride promises to demonstrate her respect for him.
