The Purpose of a Vow Renewal

A marriage vow renewal ceremony, also known as a wedding vow reaffirmation ceremony, is a ceremony where a married couple renews or reaffirms their original marriage vows as a way to celebrate and display their commitment to one another. There are no rules on marriage length, and when you can or shouldn't have a vow renewal, but here are some examples of why you may want to renew:

• For a big wedding anniversary (10th, 25th, 50th).

• Your children are older, and you want them to be a part of your celebration.

• You want to have a larger celebration than the one you were able to have when you got married.

• You have overcome some difficult times in your marriage, are stronger for it, and want to recommit to your love and start over.

• A method to reignite the newness and passion in your marriage.

• A way of saying goodbye to your spouse due to illness.

For whatever the reason, your vow renewal can be a wonderful and meaningful milestone in your marriage.

Rev D'Jay is dedicated to providing a meaningful and memorable ceremony. His goals while working with you to design your ceremony are that: The ceremony is what you want; the ceremony is dignified, and the Lord is present. Each of these goals are of equal importance. 

Commitment ceremonies are alternative celebrations for couples who are already married, cannot, or do not wish to legally marry.  

WHY WOULD SOMEONE CHOOSE TO HAVE A COMMITMENT CEREMONY?

• Couples who cannot get married by law.
• Couples who don't want to be legally married.
• Couples inconvenienced by getting legally married.

Get your marriage off to the great start it deserves. Invest in your relationship and create a love that will stand the test of time.

SELF ASSESSMENT

1. What does marriage mean to you?
   

2. What is your reason for getting married?

3. What do you appreciate most about your partner and your relationship?
4. Do you think your relationship will change after you are married?
5. Are you on the same page about having children?
6. How will you handle your relationships with your families?
7. What does spirituality mean to you?
8. What does sex and intimacy mean for both of you?
9. How do you look at spending versus saving?
10. How are you going to handle your finances (Together or Separately)?
11. How will you resolve future conflicts?

VALUABLE DISCUSSION(S):

PERSONAL HABITS

• If you have not lived with your partner before marriage, sharing a home can be surprising. Sometimes it's the seemingly insignificant things that can get under your skin and cause bigger problems than expected.

SPIRITUAL BELIEFS

• While religion and spiritual beliefs may be taboo topics for polite society, they can play a big role in your marriage.

FINANCES

• Money can cause a lot of stress in a family and are one of the leading causes of divorce. You don't necessarily have to agree to everything, and maybe one of you is better at certain aspects of it than others. As a partnership, dealing with your financial future together and understanding short-and long-team goals is a wise more.

CHILDREN

• Not every couple wants to have kids, but it's a good idea to keep an open dialogue about it.

FAMILY

• Every family is different, so understanding how your future spouse grew up and their relationship with parents and siblings today will be very helpful. After all, you are marrying into a new family, so it's best to try and understand them.

SEX AND INTIMACY

• No relationship can survive on sex alone, and intimacy is just as important. While you might think you know a lot about your partner's views on either, it's wise to have a serious conversation about it before marriage.

THE KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

1. Communicate clearly and often.
2. Tell your spouse that you're thankful for having him or her in your life.
3. Make time for you two as a couple.
4. Plan for some personal time.
5. Understand that it's OK to disagree.
6. Build trust.
7. Learn to forgive.

• LAST MINUTE or INCLEMENT WEATHER? Indoor venue with no cost can be provided, if venue available at the time of need.

• MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE: One week prior to your wedding date, PLEASE email copy of Marriage License to RevDJay@gmail.com so your Marriage Certificate can be generated and given at the wedding ceremony. ***See Below.
