A Marriage Prayer!

Lord, be in this marriage

In a special way,

May we feel Your presence

Each and every day.



Grant us both good humor

To surpass our coming years;

May there always be much laughter,

May there always be less tears.



Give us strength and courage

To follow in Your will,

To trust You in the valley

As we do upon the hill.



Give us both the eyes of love

So we'll always see

The goodness in each other,

Secure us, Lord, in Thee.



Give us words of kindness, Lord,

Help us both to live

So our lips are ever quick

In saying, "I forgive."



Give us hearts that beat as one,

Bind us ever near;

May our love grow deeper, Lord,

With each passing year.



Lord, be in this marriage,

Keep our love brand new;

May we love each other, Lord,

The same way that *You* do.



"What therefore God hath joined together,

let not man put asunder."

(Matthew 19:6b, KJV)
