The Jehovah's Witnesses marriage vows read as follows:

"I -- take you -- to be my wedded (wife/husband), to love and to cherish (Bride: and deeply respect) in accordance with the divine law as set forth in the Holy Scriptures for Christian (wives/husbands), for as long as we both shall live together on earth according to God's marital arrangement."

In some places there may be a need to use an adjusted version of this vow in order to comply with local laws. However, in most countries Christian couples use the above vow.

The Bible translation used primarily by Jehovah's Witnesses, The New World Translation, doesn't contain the wedding vows as such but the vows are as follows:

Watchtower 15th April 1984 page 15 says

''At weddings of Jehovah's Witnesses the vows will conform to the requirements of local law. Where permitted, these vows that honor God, the Source of marriage, are used:

"I -- take you -- to be my wedded wife, to love and to cherish in accordance with the divine law as set forth in the Holy Scriptures for Christian husbands, for as long as we both shall live together on earth according to God's marital arrangement."

"I -- take you -- to be my wedded husband, to love and to cherish and deeply respect, in accordance with the divine law as set forth in the Holy Scriptures for Christian wives, for as long as we both shall live together on earth according to God's marital arrangement."

These vows should not be altered or replaced to suit some whim of the couple.''
