It is not uncommon to see couples that wish to have a spiritual ceremony surrounded by equal compassion, appreciation, equality, and authenticity. In these cases, they may decide to incorporate spiritual practices such as meditation and other interfaith type of elements. Commitments to marriage are recited through the exchange of wedding vows. Here is a look at ten of the best spiritual wedding vows examples to inspire you.
Examples #1
I will always love you.
I believe love will find its way,
and show us the answers to the questions being revealed.
I promise you that I will always love you,
and I never meant to hurt you.
I know you really care and like me, I can feel it.
I wish I could feel it in your touch,
but I promise I will never forget.
For out of everything in my life,
I have earned and acquired
Your likeness and how you care for me
is my most valuable possession.
And the memories I have with it
Will always be my fondest.
Examples #2
Love is so important,
but if we don’t have someone to love
we have nothing at all.
Love makes our emotions complete.Love is so important
It brings out the best in each of us.
We learn from each other’s lives
and grow from our differences.
We can have all the possessions in the world
We are two individuals living our own lives
with each other as one, Love enlightens us.Love is so important
As a couple in love.
We are stronger, more sensitive
more aware, more knowing
and more at peace.
Examples #3
I offer you peace.
I offer you joy.
I offer you friendship.
I hear your needs.
I see your beauty.
Our wisdom comes from
a Higher Source.
Our wisdom comes from
a deeper source.
I honor that Source in you.
Examples #4
Look to this day
For it is life
The very life of life
In its brief course lie all
The realities and truths of existence
The joy of growth
The splendour of action
The glory of power
For yesterday is but a memory
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday a memory of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope
Look well, therefore to this day!
Examples #5
Treat yourselves and each other with respect,
and remind yourselves often of what brought you together.
Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness
that your connection deserves.
When frustration, difficulties and fear assail your relationship,
as they threaten all relationships at one time or another,
remember to focus on what is right between you,
not only the part which seems wrong.
In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds
hide the face of the sun in your lives…
remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment,
the sun is still there.
And if each of you takes responsibility for
the quality of your life together,
it will be marked by abundance and delight.
Examples #6
Every time I see you
I fall in love with you all over again
My heart starts to race
My frown turns into a smile
And all my worries are now in my past
When you smile at me my heart melts
You give the sweetest hugs
Every time you hug me
Your smile is like a new day
Your sense of humor is like no other
The ability you have to make me smile
Is all you need you love me
Your laugh is so soft and sweet
Just looking in your eyes
Makes me melt inside
Your lips look so soft
Soft enough to kiss
You, yourself relive me from all pain
Your hands are as soft as a pillow
The way you comfort me is amazing
Every time we say good-bye
I start to cry
I say good-bye to you too many times
I said good-bye to you a million times
Examples #7
Two doves meeting in the sky
Two loves hand in hand eye to eye
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
Two stars shining big and bright
Two fires bringing warmth and light
Two songs played in perfect tune
Two flowers growing into bloom
Two Doves gliding in the air
Two loves free without a care
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul
Examples #8
Once in a lifetime,
you find someone special,
your lives intermingle,
and somehow you know . . .
This is the beginning
of all you have longed for,
a love you can build on,
a love that will grow . . .
Once in a lifetime,
to those who are lucky,
a miracle happens
and dreams all come true–
I know it can happen,
it happened to me, for I’ve found
my “once in a lifetime” with you.
Examples #9
This day I married my best friend,
the one I laugh with as we share life’s wondrous zest,
as we find new enjoyments and experience all that’s best.
the one I live for because the world seems brighter
as our happy times are better and our burdens feel much lighter.
the one I love with every fiber of my soul.
We used to feel vaguely incomplete, now together we are whole.
Example #10
There is no emotion for what I feel today,
and everyday, about you.
I can’t imagine my life without you.
I can’t imagine a New Years Eve where you aren’t there to kiss me at midnight,
or a sunny weekend where we don’t go on some big adventure,
or any point in time where you and I aren’t arguing about whether the details
in one of my stories are exaggerated.
I don’t want to.
All I want is what we already have: true love.
So I’m not going to ask you to make any promises,
and I won’t make any either.
I’m just going to say that I love you,
Will always love you,
and that you are the only person I’ll ever love this much.
