Here is a Medieval French vow for you to enjoy. It is fun to see how similar and yet different they are from traditional vows today. The French employed some more earthy reminders of the pleasures of the marriage bed.
"I take thee as my wife/husband and my spouse, and so I join thee in faith to my body, that I may bring thee faithfully and loyally to my body and my belongings; and so I will keep thee in health and in sickness and in whatever state that Our Lord deigns thee to be in, and neither for better nor for worse will I replace thee with another, all the days of my life."
