We’re all used to the traditional marriage vows we’ve heard a million times: “In sickness and in health,” “For richer or poorer,” “‘Til death do us part.” While integral pieces of the matrimonial foundation, I believe there are far more nuanced and often unspoken promises that spouses make to each other.

Marriage is not the only checkpoint to cross in order for these promises to be valid, though — any serious, monogamous, and potentially lifelong relationship should be approached with similar virtue and magnitude.

Inevitably when writing articles like this, comments will flood in making sure that I know “this goes both ways.” I’ll save you the energy from now — we all know that effort and dedication in relationships must be mutual in order for the union to succeed…

I, though, am a man — which means I write from the male perspective and only speak of what I, myself, can exemplify.

For that reason, then, let’s discuss some of the promises that a proper husband who lives with honor and integrity should make to his wife (yes, that includes me).

1: “I am fully and unquestionably ready to make this commitment.”
