Spiritual Vow Renewal Ceremony
Performed by Rev. John Souter
- This Spiritual Vow Renewal
Ceremony is for couples who want a more spiritual ceremony that
emphasizes building their love together. The ceremony may seem long in written form but it only takes
about 12 minutes.
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
Good relationships never stop growing. Like fine wine, they get
better with age. MALCOM and ROSEMARY youve now been married
____ years; and today you come to renew your vow and commitment
of love for each other here in the land of aloha.
-
- God invented marriage because He knew
of your need and desire for companionship, love and fulfillment.
But we know that there will never be a perfect marriage. As you
continue in your relationship, Im sure you understand that
it takes a lot of love AND a lot of work to make your relationship
work properly.
-
- Some couples tend to think of marriage
as a 50/50 proposition. But the best relationships are usually
90/10. If you both give 90%youll have a formula likely
to continue to bring a lifetime of happiness.
Love is a verb. Although it can describe a state of being, love
really is an ACTION verb. Its not just how you feel about
each other, but what you DO for each other thats the key.
Over time, feelings can change. But if you keep performing acts
of love for each other, your feelings will stay fresh & alive.
-
- 1 CORINTHIANS 13
-
- Some of the greatest advice about love
ever written is found in 1 Corinthians chapter 13. Let me read
it from the Living Bible:
-
- Love is very patient and kind, never
jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or
selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not
irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly
even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice,
but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
-
- If you love someone you will be
loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe
in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your
ground in defending him.
-
- Great words for us to live by.
-
- In the Hawaiian language there is a term
that describes how couples should treat one another. Hooponopono
means: to put things right by family discussion.
-
- In other words, dont let the sun
set when you find that you have become angry. Talk things out.
Makes things right with each other quickly, before the sun disappears
into the horizon. Thats the best way to keep little misunderstandings
from growing into relationship killing problems.
-
- SANDBURG POEM
-
- Poet Carl Sandburg captured the essence
of a love which can grow and mature over a lifetime when he wrote:
-
- I love you. I love you for what
you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals.
I pray for your desires, that they may be great, rather than
for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little.
-
- A satisfied flower is one whose
petals are about to fall. But the most beautiful rose is one,
hardly more than a bud, wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire
are working for larger and finer growth. Not always shall you
be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great.
I am on the way with you and . . I love you.
-
- HIS VOWS
-
- MALCOM, please take the lei and place
it around ROSEMARY s neck and in the Hawaiian tradition,
give her a kiss on both cheeks.
-
- Do you MALCOM, acknowledge your desire
to continue to take ROSEMARY, to be your wife, to live together
according to the Bible? Will you continue to love and cherish
her, giving her assistance in all of lifes labors? Will
you continue to be true to her both in sickness and health, both
when things are going well and when there are problems? And will
you be faithful to her as long as you both shall live? If so,
you may answer, I DO.
-
- MALCOM, let the beautiful & fragrant
flowers that you have placed on ROSEMARY remind you of the fragile
nature of your relationship with your wife. Cherish her always
as your princess.
-
- HER VOWS
-
- ROSEMARY, take this lei and place it around
MALCOM s neck and in the Hawaiian tradition, give him a
kiss on both cheeks.
-

today, to continue to take MALCOM, to be your husband and to
live together according the Bible? Will you continue to love
and cherish him, giving him assistance in all of lifes

health, both when things are going well and when there are problems?
And will you be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?
If so, you may answer, I WILL.
-

of these flowers which you have placed around MALCOM s

-
- HER RING
-
- MALCOM, may I see the ring that is the
lasting symbol of your vows to ROSEMARY?
-
- This gold ring has been subjected to tremendous
heat so that the waste could be removed and the metal purified
into a fit token of your commitment of love. As it has since
the day you first gave it to ROSEMARY, let this ring continue
to symbolize your willingness to build your character through
your self-sacrificial love for your wife.
-
- Touch that ring on ROSEMARY s finger,
symbolic re-giving it to her, and repeat these vows to your wife:
-
- I MALCOM, renew my commitment to
you ROSEMARY, as your husband. I will love you; I will cherish
you. I will to be true to you, no matter what comes, whether
we become rich or poor, whether there is sickness or health,
until we are parted by death, and with this ring,
- as a symbol of my pledge, I now renew
my vow of love to you -- my wife.
-
- HIS RING
-
- ROSEMARY, may I see the ring that is the
lasting symbol of your vows to MALCOM?
-
- Note that the ring you have given him
is a circle, which symbolizes eternityfor a circle has
no ending. ROSEMARY, let that ring remind you of the new lifetime
relationship that you are continuing in with MALCOM. Touch the
ring on MALCOM s finger and repeat after me as you remake
these vows to your husband:
-
- I ROSEMARY, renew my commitment
to you MALCOM, to be your wife. I will love you I will cherish
you, I will be true to you, no matter what comes. Whether we
become rich or poor, whether there is sickness or health, until
we are parted by death, and with this ring,
as a symbol of my pledge, I now renew my vow of love to you --
my husband.
-
- PRAYER
-
- PROCLAMATION
-
- Now that you MALCOM and ROSEMARY have
openly declared your wish to be united in the covenant of marriage,
and as you have made these promises to each other before God
and these witnesses, and have given each other rings to confirm
your vows;
-
- I, John Souter, by the power & authority
given to me as a minister, do affirm before God, that the two
of you have today expressed your desires to rekindle your love
and passion, and renew your vow of marriage.
-
- From this moment on, let all know of your
desire to continue for a lifetime: as husband and wife. May God
bless you. You may kiss your bride.
