Is it 'appropriate' to have a renewal of vows after 10 years of marriage?

Do me a BIG favor and ignore all the negativity. There is nothing wrong with renewing your vows. I think its fantastic to do it and do it however you like. I'm planning my wedding now, and I'm shocked at how many divorces I've seen in my friends in their 20s already! It seems nobody cares to honor the promises vows make anymore. We all could use a reminder of those promises. I wonder sometimes if it would help if we renewed our vows every year. If that's what it takes to remind ourselves about what we promised to the other person, and depending on your religion, to God. My parents struggled a lot, but they're still together because they remember their promise no matter how tough life gets. They renewed their vows about 12 years in the Church, just like you plan. So don't listen to all these grumpy people and go celebrate your birthday and your successful marriage and family!!! :)
