Traditional Marriage Vows: How Should They Be Reworded to Fit Today?

According to the traditional vows, Marriage is a lifetime commitment. But should it be? Should options be made available based on today's reality? How about a contractual agreement for one year, five years, ten years, twenty years? Words can be changed, such as the previous language for a wife to "love, honor and obey" her husband.

Should vows include specific promises to take care of children? How about defining the responsibilities for generating income and performing household chores? Today we will consider creating marriage vows that actually define the Contractual Agreement.
