You’re getting married because you want to spend the rest of your life together. This is attractive to you because you have so many things you want to accomplish. Creating a marriage isn’t only about figuring out what resources you have. It’s also about envisioning the future you want to grow into. You want to capture those visions in both your wedding vows and your wedding ceremony. You want your community to hear what you’re dreaming so they can understand and support you.

Those things could be big things like creating a foundation to fight any one of the world’s injustices or bold things like building the foundation to your house. Or they could just be the little things that so many couples dream about: a life that is calm, walks in the park, bills that get paid and family that gets invited over to holiday dinners. All of those things are wonderfully worthwhile.

So what do the two of you dream when you’re alone in bed and thinking of your future? Or when you’re taking those long hand-in-hand walks? What do you want? How many children? What kind of dog? Where would you like to live? What kind of community will you have together? What kind of play will restore your souls and bodies?

Those dreams for a shared future are what make marriages happen. Fulfilling dreams and dreaming up new ones will keep you engaged and happy in your marriage.

Your wedding vows should build toward those dreams. Tell the world what you’re dreaming about and how you’re going to use your values and beliefs and skills to get there. Let us know how you’re going to reinforce those areas that are not your best areas to keep reaching those incredible dreams. And then, make your promises to one another and start living the life you dream of — together!
