Do couples say both of those lines in their wedding vows, or do they pick one? What is the difference?

i have never heard anyone say until the day that we both shall live. maybe as long as we both shall live. you don't have to say either of them write your own. i wrote the whole thing from beginning to end. my husband wrote his vows and i wrote mine. do what you think is best

I think the second one seems more positive. It states your marriage will last for as you are alive, as opposed to the marriage being severed by death. It's a horse a piece. Use whichever one you like.
I have a feeling that many couples may be forgoing this part of the vows anyhow. Many people write their own personal vows nowadays, since the traditional ones can seem a little bit dated and possibly insincere.

I think they use "Until death do us part" or "For as long as we both shall live". The second one you've written there implies that they're dead until some obscure day in the future. However, both the ones I've mentioned mean they will be together until one or both of them dies.

The difference is one is in the I Dos and the other is when you are saying your vows.

They say that together. In which Till Death do us part, that means you let go when one dies, and And until the day we both shall live means you break up when one dies... Basically the same thing..... lol

The second one kind of developed because some people just didn't like using the word 'death' - thought it was negative.

i agree with above answers that youre saying the phrase wrong . however if you have a strong preference on which phrase you like you can tell the minister youd like it included . toherwise each minister usally has his own ceremony phrases that he says for every wedding and you dont have to worry about picking things out for that part . unless you want to write your own vows

The 2nd doesn't make sense dear. It's usually "So long as you both shall live".
There is no difference. A marriage was meant to last so long as both husband and wife are alive. It only ends when one dies.

I think Until the day we both shall live is for eternity I think it is something that links you for this life next and for all lives. This person is your soul mate for ever. Beautiful I hope I find this person myself

I've never heard anyone say "until the day that we both shall live" in a wedding ceremony or any other ceremony for that matter!
