Complete this sentence. Is it to be honored? What feelings do you have regarding a vow taken at marriage?

All good points. Speaking about things before marriage with counsel is a good idea. I believe a vow is to be honored.

A marriage vow is to be honored, meant when said with the intention of seeing it through and taken very seriously.

A marriage vow is to be personal. I think that too many people say the words because they're tradition, and they're pretty. Like fulfilling your dreams Hallmark-style. They don't think about what it means. The vows aren't supposed to be "romantic" first and foremost... their beauty should come from the meaning. It's an amazing thing to vow to love and respect someone forever, no matter what. Put up with them, help them change and grow, fight, work through tough times, tolerate and support each other through stress... to not "check out" or find excitement and newness elsewhere. Or even just to not get fed up. To always, always put work into the relationship.
