In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
We thank you God for bringing us together as husband and wife
and for this wonderful gift of our love, 
which has already brought us so much joy.
Fill us with your grace so that we can truly
love and accept each other.
Grant us the strength to understand one another’s shortcomings
and the courage to forgive each other’s faults.
Guide us as we continue our journey together.
Help us to grow closer to one another as each day passes, 
and to become one in heart and soul.
May our love for each other, 
and our faith in You 
help us to live our marriage 
as a true witness of your presence within us
all the days of our lives. Amen
