To simplify the words, you say that you will stay committed no matter what. You may a promise before God with the realization that love is work, not based on emotions, to love your spouse with actions until the day you die whether or not you feel like it. It's a heavy responsibility and God will help you will if you truly commit. It's not just the words that make it a Christian oath; it's what you do with those words.

There are slight variations to this oath, but this is how it basically goes:
This is the vow. Sometimes when a couple decides to write their own vow it is used as the Question of Intent.
___, do you take __, to be your wife/husband? Do you promise to love her/him, honor & keep her/him, for better, for worse; in sickness & in health; for richer, for poorer, forsaking all others, keeping yourself only unto her/ him for as long as you both shall live?

I found our vows online and they were based on 1 Corinthians 13: 4-13.

Where a man makes a promise he has no intention of keeping. Something about loving honouring and respecting his wife until he dies or until his mother says so. Sorry...had to take a dig. Hehehe.

It depends on the church. I know ours (Methodist) has either neither or both saying obey...I don't remember which though.
