Advise

Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger.

Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.

Believe the best rather than the worst.

People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them.

Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship.

The person you choose to marry is deserving of the courtesies and kindness you bestow on your friends.

Parents Blessing for Bride and Groom

Parents Blessing for Bride and Groom

By Molly Srode

Gracious God, bless __________  and __________, (our) your children as they stand before us today ready to take a step that will change their lives forever.

May the individual strengths of each one join so that they may grow together in a strong marriage.

Endow them with courage to meet the challenges that will inevitably be theirs in the coming years.

Bless them with wisdom that sees beyond individual desires to the good of their relationship.

Provide for their material needs that they may always have something to share with others.

Grant them patience, compassion and understanding to deal with the disagreements that come along the way.

May they find contentment at any given time in their marriage by accepting themselves and each other just as they are.

Give them health and strength to fulfill their hopes and dreams for the future.

May the joy and love they feel today ripen and mature as they walk together down this new road they have chosen.

Blessing for a Marriage

Blessing for a Marriage

James Dillet Freeman

May your marriage bring you all the exquisite excitements a marriage should bring, and may life grant you also patience, tolerance and understanding.

May you always need one another –not so much to fill your emptiness as to help you to know your fullness. A mountain needs a valley to be complete; the valley does not make the mountain less, but more, and the valley is more a valley because it has a mountain towering over it. So let it be with you and you.

May you need one another, but not out of weakness.

May you want one another, but not out of lack.

May you entice one another, but not compel one another.

May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.

May you succeed in all important ways with one another and not fail in the little graces.

May you look for things to praise, often say “I love you!” and take no notice of small faults.

If you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have good sense enough to take the first step back.

May you enter into the mystery which is the awareness of one another’s presence –no more physical than spiritual, warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in separate rooms or even distant cities.

May you have happiness and may you find it making one another happy.

May you have love, and may you find it loving one another.
