Marriage Vows ... October 18, 2002

I marry you in kindness and gentleness and joy
I marry you in experience of open laughter
In experience of life’s difficulty and challenge.

I marry you with no doubt or resistance
--- it is easy.

You draw love out of me
--- I am a better person.

I am more spiritually fit
--- my emotions are more balanced.

I am physically alive
--- I am awake to life and aware of possibilities.


I marry you to be together with you

--- to share our lives.


To continue a love discovered in you

For the rest of my life

--- and then some.
