I have been married almost nine years. When we said our vows, we THOUGHT we knew each other. Don't get me wrong, we loved each other very much. But now we love each other so much more than we ever thought possible.
I want to reaffirm our vows because I want my husband to know that, even knowing all our faults and the trials of marriage, that I still believe our decision to marry was the right decision. Its one thing to make a promise when you don't know what you're getting into, but its quite another when you KNOW what is involved, and you're still willing to make that promise.

A vow renewal is not another wedding! It's just a simple ceremony at a church or other location to just re-state the vows the couple took years ago. Usually it's done at the 25th, but can be done at the 10th. It's not "required" at all; in fact, just a small minority of people do it. Some just have an anniversary party without the vows being resaid. It's just a time to have family and friends celebrate with the couple, who would usually have the guests to their home for a meal following the short ceremony.

it's not required. some couples do it after 10 years and every 5 years thereafter. my parents renewed their vows when they celebrated their silver wedding anniversary (25th), and will hopefully do it on their golden anniversary. It's not so much the nostalgia or the romantic side of renewing vows, although it is an added benefit, but it is something couples want to do so they can "re-live" their wedding day, and also to remind each other of the vows/promise they made when they were joined as one.

Its not required that a married couple renew their vows.
People do it for many reasons....
maybe when they got married the first time they weren't able to afford a wedding (went to a judge for example)
they want to reaffirm their committment to one another
they love each other enough to say yes I would do it all over again with you
It is romantic to renew your vows. Getting married to someone is a huge committment and renewing your vows symbolizes your love to your mate. Marriage isn't always a walk in the park---lots of hills to climb and renewing your vows can reaffirm that even through the worst of times and the best of times you choose to spend them with your spouse.

They go through renewing their vows as a way of showing everyone, plus themselves that their love is strong and as a way of refreshing their relationship. It's not required, but a lot of people do it to just show how they feel and want to share it with their friends and family all over again!!

maximum ordinarily this is achieved after 25 years, yet now and back couples do it for their tenth. A vow renewal isn't yet another wedding ceremony, this is purely a blessing, with often an anniversary dinner/occasion afterwards. while you're questioning of something distinctive, like a church wedding ceremony presently once you have had your civil wedding ceremony, pass communicate on your pastor/minister.

It's not required, but it's just a public statement.. 10 or more years down the road to say to each other and your friends and family that you value your commitment and still love each other very much.
Vow renewal is a beautiful thing- it's a great testament to a long and healthy marriage.

it's good to remind yourselves of the vows you are to keep for life. It's a great excuse to relive you wedding day too. And then there's the 2nd honeymoon. It's neat I think.

People renew their vows because they can not help but make the same mistake twice.
