Renew thy vows!

By: Mona
.......................


Google Buzz

I was watching King of Queens earlier and the episode was when Doug and Carey want to renew their vows. I then thought to my self, “why don’t Muslims renew their vows?” Like after 10 years of marriage or something. Why don’t they have another party to celebrate them being together. I think it will be nice, maybe a second honey moon or something. Just so life is more tolerable and seems meaningful. I know Arabs/Muslims spend way too much on weddings and pre-wedding celebration, such as the engagement party, wedding shower, etc, and the dude is still in debt by the 10th year wedding anniversary, but maybe they should reconsider the way they celebrate. Why have extravagant weddings and parties and stuff and be in debt cause of it, but just have small party to begin with, then another every few year.

I donno, maybe I am crazy but I think it will make Arabs/Muslims chill and have a better life instead of living in agony together or end up hating one another and divorcing because their life is SO boring! Yah, it is, believe me. :lol:

    That was a hilarious episode. (I must point out the episode when aurther insists its called “cats up” instead of “ketchup”)
    Do arabs have vows? I dont think they do, so why renew? I picture an arabic mans vow:
    “I promise to keep you happy so that you can cook for me and keep me happy and full”
    renewing such a vow poses a threat,because he wants to keep that vow, and if he keeps it..the woman loses her mind because he is supposed to renew them etc etc and the end result is a lot of wasted money…
    Moral of the story: Dont renew vows you can not keep. I guess every sitcom has taught us that, and for the men, remember to write you vows, and the speech from “When harry met sally” is just plain cheese.

    First of all, do non-muslims USUALLY renew their vows? I don’t think they do. I mean, it isn’t a rule or something. If some people came up with this Idea (I saw a similar scene in a bollywood movie btw), that doesn’t necessarily represent their religion, does it?

    Second, in the islamic marriage the man doesn’t usually exchange vows with his bride, but rather with her father (with some exceptions). That means he’d have to renew the vows with him, not her. (not that romantic, huh?)

    I Feel you on that, I am Muslim ,but I am African American and My husband is Bengali, I’ve seen many weddings on his side of the family and no one even mention a vow renewal, coming from here in America I’ve been to all the traditional vow renewals and I wanted to do it.We have been married almost ten years and I am just scarred that we will look stupid doing it.
