marital vows
Ceremony spoken commitments
Marital vows are the promises exchanged between partners during a wedding ceremony.
Traditional vows pledge love, fidelity, and commitment "for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part." Many couples now write their own vows.
To break one's marital vows usually means to commit adultery.
