Mah! I got very misty-eyed as I read this.

If I ever get married / civil-unionized / formally & sacredly attached to another human being, I want vows like THIS.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for joining us here, Jacquie, and thanks for your kind words. I’m sure Kyeli will say something sweet when she’s not exhausted from driving all day, too. *offers hugs* (:

I cried when I read this. Talk about serendipity!

Not wishing to go into details, but my marriage ended recently, almost exactly 1 year and 1 day. Maybe if we’d both understood there were some things you can’t “cope with” indefinately, it would have made a huge difference – in my perception of the end as failure if nothing else.

May this remain an abstract concept to you both.

Much impressed with what you guys are doing. Keep doing it, it rocks.

What a beautiful vow and the sentiment behind it. I agree with Leah, and she said it so well "that feels like real freedom to love each other". It's a horrible thing to witness people in situations where they are trapped into a marriage because of vows and old-style conventions in the name of something that should be the most beautiful and uplifting energy on the planet, love. I think it's great you posted that on your blog for all to see. Start a meme, change the world! .-= Donna´s last blog ..Rosemary- Garlic and Walnut Kefir Cheese =-.

[...] it was this. That bit impressed me. I mean, I seriously wish I had given that vow some thought before. Because [...]

I love that you give each other space to make a choice to stay and a choice to go if you realize that you can not solve things. To me that feels like real freedom to love each other.

Rock on!

My favorite part of your vows, for just those reasons. Level headed, very solid, very wise. Everyone looked up and really thought when they heard y'all say that. .-= Megan M.´s last blog ..Especially If You’re Not a Stanford Grad =-.

This is so important and I really get it. I thought it was a brilliant sentiment and a brilliant expression, too.
