A Marriage is... - Read by Mandy
Marriage is a dynamic process of discovery.
Marriage is a journey, not an arrival.
In marriage, being the right person is as important as finding the right person
Marriage is starting to love, over and over again.
Marriage is a life's work.
Marriage is an art... and like any creative process, it requires active thought and effort
We have to learn how to share on many different levels.
We need to practice talking from the heart, and understanding attitudes as well as words.
Giving generously and receiving graciously are talents that are available to anyone.
But all these skills need to be developed, if the marriage picture that we paint is to be anything approaching the masterpiece intended.
Native American Wedding Prayer... - Read by Beck
Now you will feel no rain,
for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold,
for each of you will be warmth for each other.
Now there is no more loneliness,
for each of you will be companion to the other.
Now you are two persons,
but there is only one life before you.
May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly refresh you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
And the breeze blow new strength in to your being,
And all the days of your life
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty.
Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your life together.
And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
Treat yourselves and each other with respect,
and remind yourselves often of what brought you together.
