In your good providence you have brought them together for this moment.  Grant them the frame of heart with your grace so they can enjoy the comforts, cares, trials, and duties of life together in a way that honors your Name.

 ________ and ________ are here because they have found their True Love, but love is not the only thing that will make this marriage endure.  It will take dedication and commitment from both.

I have been married 45 years and I have written down some words that have helped us down this wonderful road.

 

10 Words for a lasting Marriage 

Work

When you first meet you work hard to make your relationship grow.  You must continue to do this after the I do’s.  For this is when the real work begins

Apologize

When wrong don’t forget to say I’m sorry

Even for the small thing, for they can grow and cause you sorrow.

Forgive

Have the capacity to forgive and forget,

 let it go.  I know sometimes its hard but don’t on to anger, hurt or disappointment

for they only keep you from love and joy.

Thanks

Thanks in words you say and things you do. Show your appreciation of each other.

A kiss on the cheek, wink of the eye and a smile.  Thank you for being mine goes a long way.

Friendship

Enjoying each others company.  Wanting to spend time together

so you can share each others Thought, Fears and Loves.

Laughter

Delight in life and all it gives.

The joy of having each other,  be silly, laugh at each other and at yourselves.

Romance

Do the unexpected.   A favorite candy from the corner store, maybe a flower from the garden.  Holding hands as you walk.

Touch and hold each other.  Say I Love You everyday and always the kiss goodnight.

Respect

Respect each other let them be who you married.  Admire who they are and you will be proud of who they become.

Trust

Trusting that your spouse will always be truthful, faithful and you will each others back.  Doing this will give your marriage strength and continue to fill it with love.
