I'm traditional and I think the vows are sacred words...a promise before God. BUT, what do others think?

I'll say this about me: I was married 18 years--he left. Divorced 12 years now. I won't repeat those vows until I'm ready to make that commitment again. That's for peace in my soul--not to tell anyone else what is right for them. Thanks for all the answers :)

the vows are there for a reason. too many people just look at them as a little song and dance to please the wedding guests. i have seen far too many couples that, the first vow they seem to forget is the one about foresaking all others. i am just thankful my wife and i hold those vows as important as we do eachother's love.

It depends on who you ask. I have been married for 7 years now and I take my vows seriously. I think the length of a marriage will prove if vows mean anything. Commitment is a huge thing and if you are not true to the ones you take then you will be divorced. I believe people give up too easily on each other.

I agree with you 100%...marriage vows do matter and married people made a promise in front of God to live by them.

Yes they should matter. I think if one of the partners finds that he is willing to make an effort for someone else, he should double that effort for his wife. He has to consider that the wife is the one that has to win! After all she is the one that got the prize!
I understand that there may be some people on-line that are married and I don't mind their attention just as long as they spend double the effort to pay attention to their wife! Otherwise they are just being selfish and will end up treating me with the same disrespect.

Vows matter to the married couple, anyone outside of that cannot possibly fathom the bond or meaning of one's Vows before God to his/her partner til death do them part.

I am SO with you. People these days don't take marriage seriously. It is a promise before God and when you make a promise you keep it. I think that people give up too easily on their marriage and don't work hard enough to keep it together. Abuse is another deal that we won't get into.

i believe that my vows will be a sacred vow to my partner. I do not believe that most people believe in the oaths and vows they commit themselves to anymore. (whether it is marriage or anything else)

I was married at 20 for 6 months, then again at 40, hopefully this is the last time...

to me they are. they are a promise to God and your spouse. i am planning to make my own vows plus use the normal ones. it is a big thing to make a promise. i don't see it as a free ride to sex. i am staying a virgin. if the guy loves me he will wait. but to me vows are like a commitment to u and ur partner. they are sacred. p.s. i love ur picture.

It doesn't matter what others think. If they are important to you and your husband. Then they mean something. It living up to those vows that difficult.
