I Promise

I love you.
You are my best friend.
I promise to encourage and inspire you,
to laugh with you,
and to comfort you
in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.
I promise to cherish you, and to always
lift you up with my strength and support.
I will respect and honor you all our days.
These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life.
