Writing Wedding Vows-An Exercise in Imagination and BIG Thinking

You might want to use the idea I present in this post as a way to begin to consciously craft a dream for your life together. It can be a basis for the vows that you write. It’s an exercise in thinking BIG that becomes a powerful intention. Most personal motivators have used this and continue to use it on a regular basis because it forces them to keep expanding their expectations.

This simple exercise is going to give you an opportunity to let your imagination fly free. Don’t be afraid to dream big. Imagine things that you can’t possibly think will ever come about. In the imagining of a thing is the potential for it’s success.

You could begin to fill in the blanks some evening over dinner and make it an ongoing monthly event. Just imagine how this can open up conversation about the impossible becoming possible.

In a notebook (that you can keep) write down the following headings on separate pages and number your page from 1-101:

WHAT WE WANT TO BE

WHAT WE WANT TO DO

WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE.

You are not trying to fill it all in at one time but enter as much as you can think of.

Remember this is not about practicality, it’s about thinking out of the box.

Include physical, mental and spiritual aspects.

Again, everything and anything is possible so let your imagination soar. You are stretching your believability arms.

If your intention is clear and you’re passionately involved in your vision, the means for achieving it will come to you. The how-to’s will simply begin to manifest in ways more magnificent than you can imagine.

Write your vows to support the dreams that you wrote. Include a line something like this: “I promise to always dream with you and imagine the most that is possible.”

Then, of course, keep reading and reading those vows over and over and over. You will begin to see those ‘impossible’ people, places, things, ideas, situations, experiences and opportunities show up in magical and mystical ways.

THINK BIG!!

(Use this exercise for your own personal life as well as the life of your marriage.)
