Some people asked how we spend our anniversary here in Davao. We planned to be out at the hotel we got married- but postponed that for a week. But of course Sunday evening we had a special dinner with our family and some friends.

25 years after getting married we decided to renew our marriage vows. Actually we were first thinking to do this at a local church – but than we decided to just do it as a video. So all of you you witness and we can go back to listen to our own vows anytime in the future. The recording was a very special – and also a very emotional – moment for the two of us. But the vows are not just a video or a show – it is a statement, that even after 25 years we stick together – for better or worse. We believe it is important to make commitments to each other – especially in a time where it seems that the traditional view of marriage is replaced by an often short-term arrangement between two people. In German, there is a term “Lebensabschnittsgefährte” which literally means “Companion for a period of life”. But marriage is much more than that.
