Anniversary Prayer

Years ago You took two selfish, self-centered people

and taught us to put You

at the center of our hearts and marriage.

You taught us to take our problems to Your first,

then each other.

You taught us the delight of putting our

mate's needs over our own.

You taught us to serve one another in love.

Your taught us that sharing disappointments and pain

was another side of sharing our love.

We have experienced the sweetness

that together we're stronger than either one alone.

From the wellsprings of my heart,

thank You, Lord.
