What is a Spiritual Commitment?
There are times when a legal marriage is not desirable or possible. When this
is the case, a Spiritual Commitment ceremony allows a couple to affirm their
love for one another and gain the support of friends, family and God.
Although this is not a legally binding ceremony, the sacred quality of the
exchange of vows is not lost. The ceremony allows couples to commit their lives
and soul work to one another for a lifetime.
While many associate a spiritual commitment with alternative lifestyles, there is an increasing
desire for this option within the senior population. According to a recent article in the AARP Bulletin (Oct. 2004),
more older couples are choosing the Commitment Ceremony rather than getting
legally married. Recent census statistics report that the number of
unmarried couples age 65 and older has doubled in a decade.
