I promise

I promise to give you the best of myself

and to ask of you no more than you can give.

I promise to respect you as your own person

and to realize that your interests, desires and needs

are no less important than my own.

I promise to share with you my time and my

attention and to bring joy, strength, and imagination

to our relationship.

I promise to keep myself open to you,

to let you see through the window of my world

into my innermost fears and feelings,

secrets and dreams.

I promise to grow along with you,

to be willing to face changes in order to keep our

relationship alive and exciting.

I promise to love you in good times and bad,

with all I have to give and all I feel inside

in the only way I know how,

completely and forever.
