A man’s greatest treasure is his wife she is a gift from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22 CEV
Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us.
To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us.
We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.
Dear Lord, we put our marriage into Your hands.
Amen.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
Corinthians 13:7-8
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21
I found the one whom my soul loves.
Song of Solomon 3:4
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.
Song of Solomon 8:7

An Irish Marriage Blessing
As you travel life together, may God guide you on your way, And bring you newfound joy in each other, day by day … May your home be graced with peace, may your sharing know no bounds, May your friendship know full measure in this lifetime love you’ve found … And as your closeness deepens, may each moment be the start of life lived hand-in-hand, and love lived heart-to-heart.
Judith A. Hammell
