1 I firmly believe when people become parents they should have a ceremony which deals with all the issues of parenthood in much more depth than this simple statement. Refer to the sample parenting ceremony. However, I think some mention about honoring one's parenting responsibilities in the event of divorce should also be included in marriage ceremonies.
