To write her wedding vows for her?

A friend has asked a group of us for what we would write in our wedding vows as she is writing her own for her wedding later this year.
Everyone has been so romantic and lovely. Except me.
I've said:
Equal number of lie ins
Equal house chores
Share the mental load
Joint account.
And a few more "ideas".
They all think I'm joking. I'm not.

AIBU to ask what you would put in your own wedding vows?

Assume good intentions.
Never act out of spite.

I'd say thou shalt not be an arse.

Talk to me, and I will talk to you. No moody glances, no muttering, no assuming - either that we "know" what the other meant by something, or that we can read each other's minds. TELL each other.
When one of us has been an arse, for whatever reason, admit it, own it, move on.
No lies.
No secrets.
(I've been married 3 times, and spent 20 years looking for the person that, when I was with him, I didn't want to be anywhere else, and we've been together nearly 18 years now Grin )

Don't go on Tinder

I take my post back, PomBear nailed it

The best thing I've heard in wedding vows was a promise to be kind.

Other than that
Equal parenting responsibilities
A promise to apologise if you're in the wrong.
Consider the other before making decisions.

Thou shalt always take it in turns to clean out the cat liter!

On a more serious note;

Life is hard. And so is marriage. We will bicker over whose turn it is to take the rubbish out. We will laugh watching a movie that reminds us of our early days of dating (ahem Napoleon Dynamite), and we will cry so much over the significant and insignificant things in life; but the most important thing to remember is we have love, and more than anything, friendship and respect Smile

MN shall be judge jury and executioner ( of leaving the bastard if necessary) Grin

Oops, got a tad soppy for a moment (DH cleaned the cat litter trays tonight, god bless him)

That’s lovely Rusty!
I also said clean your own skidders.

Be kind. In a long marriage I have discovered the fundamental importance of being kind to each other. When things are really shit (bereavement, redundancy, illness, poverty) sometime there is nothing you can really do to help each other except not make it worse. So be kind to each other, don't make the tough times harder.
