I stand today in front of our family, our friends and you, my husband/wife, to reaffirm my marriage vows.

X years ago we stood in our church and said words that were written for us. Today I am not simply taking a vow; I am giving you a vow and a promise in words that are my own.

My love for you has grown over the last X years. There have been times when I believed the problems before us were too big to overcome, too painful to forgive. I have since learned that I love you more than I could ever have imagined and that it is enough to overcome and forgive the broken promises in our past.

Today I give in to that love and the overwhelming desire to recommit myself to you. I love you more today because of all that we have been through and because of your willingness to move forward with renewed commitment.

I promise, from this day forward, to love and trust you even more as time passes. I promise to be there for you when you are sick, hurt, in need of comfort or when you just want to share your day. I promise to make you feel needed and appreciated for all that you bring to my life. Today I stand in front of our family, our friends and you, my husband and promise to give you all of the best of me for as long as we both live.
