Marriage Vows That Work

MUST BE RE-NEGOTIATED AND RENEWED EVERY TWO YEARS

Repeat after me—
Me. Me. Me.
Me First. Me Alone.
With you and without You,
this is my own New Reality.

I dedicate each Moment of this Lifetime
to craft that Memorable Character
who will play The Best Me I can be
in this Movie of My Life.

I, ___(your name here)___, being of found Mind,
do hereby pledge to Believe with all my Power
that this Life is truly a Movie, and so must
remain forever Free to write my own Script,
to develop my own Talents, with The Right
to cast each Co-Star I choose
.

For my God is an Almighty Media Mogul
who prays to be Entertained. My Soul Role
is to Act as if Real Life depends upon it.
Because it does.

These are the Dues I shall pay each day
to live My Life as an original Work Of Art.

Yet....
To make Great Art takes two people.
One, the Great Artist. The Other,
to tell the Artist when to stop.

(turn to face your Co-Creator,
repeat together in perfect Harmony:)

Beloved Collaborator,
I will re-write Your Script
if you will edit Mine.
And when we Create a Hit,
we vow to negotiate Our Sequel
1,001 Nights from now.

(Sign The Contract. Shake hands.
You-Partner-Priest in unison):

DEAL!

(Kiss the Partner. Pose for the cameras.
Host a Feast. Dance a bit. Travel far to a
Blissful Place where...you get back to Work!)
