recommitment
Fresh vow again
Recommitment is the act of committing again—renewing a pledge, promise, or dedication after it has lapsed or been tested.
The word often appears in contexts of relationships, faith, or goals: Their anniversary was a recommitment to each other.
A recommitment ceremony reaffirms wedding vows.
In legislative contexts, recommitment sends a bill back to committee for further consideration.
