Wedding is just for a day,
But marriage is for a life time,
Ours is to celebrate with you today,
Yours is to make your marriage work from today.
Friends and relatives come and go...
Children come and go...
But your partner is here to stay,
To love till death do you part.
Today you are happy and joyful,
It's the celebration mood,
It may not be so every day.
Because life is not a straight line my friends
They say commitment is doing what you said you will do,
Long after the mood you said is gone,
Love and submit to one another,
Even when you feel you have the right not to.
Marriage is for two...
Learn to get your mathematics right
Respect and embrace that boundaries exist,
And communication keeps two
together.
To the newly wedded bride,
It is said that a wise woman builds her own house,
and the opposite, destroys it...with her very own hands
Let that stick to your mind lest you forget.
I know you've heard of proverbs 31 woman,
The industrious and submissive one,
But of key is the weapon of prayer,
For on her knees all battles are won.
And to groom, now the husband,
Hold onto your position...
head the family, as Christ heads
the church,
And love unconditionally. Just like Christ loves the church.
As a prophet, prophesy to your family,
As a priest, offer sacrifices on its behalf,
As a pastor, teach God's word,
And that is your first assignment.
A wife is to be loved,
Cherished and adored...
With words seasoned with kindness,
Knowing that she's the weaker vessel.
Endeavour to make her proud she chose you.
And now unto God,
The foundation through which marriage is build,
May He be your ever present help,
And a pillar to hold your life together.
