Lord, You reveal Your deep and never-failing love for us through our marriage, and we’re thankful. We come to You with open hearts, asking for strength to keep our marriage vows.
“I take you to be…”
Lord, We trust that our marriage was Your divine choice from the moment we said the “I do’s.” We declare this marriage is Your will.
“To have and to hold from this day forward”
Help the two of us create a marriage that is full of joy, oneness, and the reflection of You. Help us reach out to each other with tenderness and love.
“For better, for worse”
God, we need Your perfect love, perseverance, and hope for the bad days. Give us the strength to cling to You, the Rock, when our marriage seems shaky.
“For richer, for poorer”
Provider God, we thank You for our provision. Help us to be true teammates when financial worries hit, and always thank You when money flows freely.
“In sickness and in health”
Give us gentleness, patience, and grace when one of us is sick. Sustain us through long illnesses because we can’t do it without Your strength.
“To love and to cherish”
Open our eyes every day to the positive attributes we each possess and let love cover our flaws.
“Until death do us part”
When the day is long, and the irritations are many, help us hold fast to the beauty of growing old together.
“This solemn vow”
Amen.
