WEDDING: MARRIAGE PRAYERS
The Marriage Prayer
Loving God, we give thanks that {Name 2} and {Name 1}, having come close in friendship, and having been enlightened by love, are now united in the Covenant of Marriage. May they grow in insight, care, and the ability to listen deeply, that they might find in each other a strength in need, a comforter in sorrow and a companion in joy. May the love that is theirs together move outward to touch each family member with caring and friendship and laughter. May the love that is theirs always be a reflection of your love for us all. Amen.
(Optional - may be added to any marriage prayer)
And now as our Saviour Christ has taught us, we pray together, saying, "Our Loving God, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.” Amen.
