A vow is not to be take lightly. A vow is a most solemn commitment to a particular behavior or way of being, and it does serve as an anchor that keeps one bound or anchored to that way of being. It is very important that the vow be in line with one's true self and deepest intentions. Marriage vows have helped me be true to what I deeply value. What helps me pursue a daily practice that supports me in living my commitments is making commitments that are from my true self, that are in harmony with me, and that help me to expand to become more of what I truly am, and not make commitments that are not in line with who I am or go against who I am.
