If that is the vow she is willing to make then, sure.
I don't think a couple should stand before God and start reciting some rote promises they have no intention of upholding just because they're told to repeat the minister.
Beyond the words they say to each other should be intent.
They should both intend to treat each other with respect and common courtesy, and agree on a value system, and to form a marital union. Then you can say anything you want. The result is still the same: a couple who married each other.
On the other hand, what does it matter what words they say if the intent is solely to further one's own incapacity? (Mooch)
The result is still the same: the moochee will leave the Moocher.
Intent, dear....the everyday indication of affection and respect....or not....not semantics...
Say what you want.

NO! That is a very very old traditon that thankfuly is going by the wayside. Check out the website below, there are quite a few different vows. Chaplain Debby

Yes. The man should promise to Love and honor her to too.

Love, honor and cherish. Never obey. That would indicate that the man looks down on his wife, not as the partner she is.

I believe that's a decision left up to the individuals involved. Since about 50% of us end up breaking those vows anyway, I don't see where it makes much difference.

Yes I do... however, I also feel that the man should 'love, honor, and cherish' his wife and be honorable and take care of her. That's how my husband and I are, and we are very happy!

That's been changed to "love, honor, and cherish" in most modern marriage ceremonies.
