"I Will Never Change" People grow and evolve over time. Promising to remain the same can be unrealistic and limit personal and relationship growth. Instead, commit to growing together

"I Will Always Make You Happy" Happiness is a personal responsibility, and no one can make someone else happy all the time. Instead of this promise, focus on supporting each other through ups and downs

"I Will Never Hurt You" Unintended mistakes or misunderstandings can happen. Instead, promise to communicate openly and work through conflicts with honesty and care

"I Will Always Put You First" While relationships require prioritization, you shouldn’t completely neglect yourself, your family, or your personal goals. A healthy relationship balances both partners' needs

"I Will Never Argue With You" Disagreements are natural in any relationship. Instead of avoiding conflict, promise to argue respectfully and work toward solutions rather than winning

"I Will Love You Forever No Matter What" Love is a choice and requires effort. Unconditional love doesn’t mean tolerating toxic behavior. Instead, promise to love and respect your partner as long as the relationship is healthy
