Praise And Thanks For Marriage

Loving Lord, we praise You for the works of Your hand, for You are our great Creator of the world and all that is in it, and we bless You for creating man and woman in Your own image and likeness.

Thank You for uniting us together in the bond of marriage, so that we can be to the other a God-given helper, an encourager and a lover. Thank You for the blessings this unique union affords. We are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.

Give us I pray, a long and fruitful life together, and may we grow in grace together and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus.

May our home be a place of security and rest, where You are the head of our house, the unseen guest at every meal and the silent listener to every conversation.

Amen.
