Wedding Prayer
Topic: Marriage
Wedding Prayer Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who created mirth and joy, bridegroom and bride, gladness, jubilation, dancing, and delight, love and brotherhood, peace and fellowship. Quickly, O Lord our God, may the sound of mirth and joy be heard in the streets of Judah and Jerusalem, the voice of bridegroom and bride, jubilant voices of bridegrooms from their canopies and youths from the feasts of song. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who makes the bridegroom rejoice with the bride. Source: Talmud (Ketubot 8)

To Have Strong Marriages
Topic: Marriage
To Have Strong Marriages
Father, I'm praying for all those in my immediate and extended family who are married (name them)...
Protect our marriages. May each husband be strong in his faith, yielded to the Lord, loving, kind, and considerate. May they all be men of prayer and students of the Word—in every way the leaders and examples they are meant to be. May they love their wives as they love their own bodies, and may their wives respect and love them. (Matthew 8:5–10; Romans 12:1; John 13:34; Ephesians 4:32; 1 Peter 3:7; Psalm 119:15; Ephesians 5:33)
May each wife be her husband's help and support, the one who makes him complete. Help them all be submissive, strong, God-fearing, generous, and wise. May their husbands have confidence in them as they watch over the household, and may their husbands and children call them blessed. (Genesis 2:18; Ephesians 5:22; Proverbs 31:25, 30b, 20, 26, 27, 28)
May husbands and wives be protected from the evil one, who wants to destroy marriages and disrupt families. Help them to live in the shelter of Your presence, protected under the refuge of Your wings. (John 17:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; John 10:10; Psalm 91:1–4, 14–16)
Keep their marriages free from the influence of the world.
In Jesus' name, amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns  source: "Prayers for the Moment: One-Minute Scripture Prayers" Copyright September 2006. Reprinted with permission of B&H Publishing Group

Marriage Prayer
Topic: Marriage
Marriage Prayer
Dear God,
We forget sometimes that marriage started in Your mind, that it is indeed a "heavenly" idea. Make our eyes sensitive to all the good You've given in our marriage, and help us to be spouses who bring You glory. We thank You for bringing us together. We do believe, Lord, that we are one!
Amen. - Heather Kopp Appropriate for many faiths source: "God's Little Book of Guarantees for Marriage" (Multnomah). Used with permission. © 2002 by Heather Kopp.

A Prayer for Husbands and Wives
Topic: Marriage
A Prayer for Husbands and Wives
Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. - Ephesians 5:25-33 Christian, Protestant source: The Bible (New International Version)

Blessings on a Marriage
Topic: Marriage
Blessings on a Marriage
May the sun of many days and years shine upon you;
May the love you have for one another grow and hold you close;
May the good true light within you guide you on your way together;
May your dreams come true, and when they do not, may new dreams arise.
In the words of Leo Tolstoy, may you each bring more love and truth into this world,
and may your marriage be the instrument that sustains you in this task.
And long, long years from now, may you look at one another and be able to say, "Because of you, I have lived the life I always wanted to live - because of you, I have become the person I longed to be." - Cynthia Reed, Wedding Celebrant Appropriate for many faiths
