Marriage Vows and the Seven Year Itch

Anyone who been in a long term relationship knows the term 7 year itch.  It’s that ever so dreded year of being together with someone, whether married or dating, when, the white gloves start to come off and things start to get a little more dingy (or so we think they do).  I’m at that year and it scares me to death.  Knowing what is “supposed” to happen around this time has me walking on egg shells.  I am trying my hardest to be more loving, more honest, more attentive to his needs to hopefully overcome whatever is “supposed” to happen around this time in our marriage.  I have many friends that are divorced and some who are going through it now. 

It seems that the epidemic of divorce has grown over the past 10 or 15 years.  Everyone I seem to talk to, is either divorced or going through one.  What ever happened to the vows “for better or for worse” and “til death do us part”?  If we’re not going to honor them, should we change them?

Traditional wedding vows are:

I, (name), take you (name), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward til death do us part.

In 2009, when it comes to marriage, what should the vows be?
