    Default how do you say "i promise"

    My friend would like me to translate a phrase for her but there's too much english slang,

    how would you translate:

    Alejandro, i promise i will never give up on you,
    I promise life with me won't always be easy
    but i promise that it will be worth it
    So if you'll take me, i'd be honored to be your wife


    All i know is,

    te prometo..


    Thank you so much for the help!

    I promise: te prometo, te juro

    My version:

    Alejandro, te prometo que nunca dejaré de creer en ti,
    te juro que la vida no siempre será fácil
    Pero te prometo que valdrá la pena
    Así que si me aceptas, será un honor para mi ser tu esposa.


    Acabo de derretirme con esta declaración

    Just for that touch of perfection, I would change the second line to:

    te juro que la vida junto a mi no siempre será fácil

    mi opinión:

    Alejandro:

    Te prometo que nunca me rendiré contigo,
    Sé que la vida a mi lado no siempre será fácil
    pero créeme que valdrá la pena.
    Entonces, si me aceptas, estaré orgullosa de ser tú esposa...
    Todo lo que sé es.......

    Estoy de acuerdo, Pablo, de hecho "no me rendiré contigo.." no me parece muy claro el significado..
