Marriage |
A Prayer of Penitence Before Remarriage Our Heavenly Father, in Your presence and before this congregation, we express our sorrow for anything in our behaviour and attitude that may have caused the breakdown of our marriages. We freely forgive our previous partners for any wrong they may have done us. We are deeply sorry that we failed to keep the vows we sincerely made before You and humbly pray for Your forgiveness and pardon. Amen.
(We wrote this prayer to use at the very beginning of our wedding ceremony. * * *
May Jesus the King reign in our hearts, His love unite us and His peace remain with us forever more. * * *
May Jesus the King reign in your hearts His love unite you and His peace remain with you forever more. * * *
May you have many memories to treasure of your love without measure. * * *
May God, who joined your hearts together, bless your love now and forever. * * *
A Successful Marriage is one where both partners remember that the most important part of their relationship is neither is always right or always strong, always clever or always first. It is where a balance between the partners is maintained on the basis of mutual respect. Each has a sufficient belief in themselves and trust in their partner, that they can relax and be themselves to each other. 1994 * * *

Today
is a day for reminiscing
as you recall your wedding day
and reflect upon your lives together
Today
is a day to give thanks to God,
for in His presence
you`ve shared many happy times together
and with His grace
you`ve overcome problems and difficulties
Today
is a day to thank each other
for those experiences,
for being lovers, friends and good companions
Today
is a day to reaffirm the vows you made,
to promise to love and cherish each other
as you look forward to the future together.
* * *
You stand on the threshold of your life together,
facing uncharted territories.
Sometimes the pathway ahead will be smooth,
life will be good, with shared times of happiness :
You will discover new ways of learning together
and realise that contentment can be found
in the simplest of pleasures.
Sometimes the road will be rough
when it will be easy to trip and fall :
reach out a hand to support and lift each other up.
Sometimes it will be a steep mountainside,
the summit nowhere to be seen:
give encouragement and strive together.
Sometimes it will be dark, hope all but gone :
be a light on the pathway, each for the other.
Remember that through the years you will share together
God will walk with you,
guiding and guarding each step of the way.
The precious love between you will strengthen and deepen
as He upholds you through the twists and turns of life`s pathway
and His grace will sustain you at all times.
