A Marriage Prayer
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 hearts always ready
to ask for forgiveness as well as forgive.
Dear LORD, we put our marriage
into your hands.
Amen.
A Marriage . . .
Makes of two fractional
live s a whole ; it gives two
purposeless lives a work,
and doubles the strength
of each to perform it;
it gives to two questioning
natures a reason for living,
and something to live for;
it will give a new gladness
to the sunshine,
a new fragrance to the flowers,
a new beauty to the earth,
and a new mystery to life.
