What a remarkable gift You've designed!
Today, let those sharing Your love
open their lives for one another.

With bold and unbending love,
each lets the other in,
standing side by side
in vulnerability and in strength,
in suffering and in joy,
in past, future, and present.

It is from you that
they have learned to love so wildly,
and I pray that it is You
who guides them further.

Bless this union with courageous love.
Guide them to grow stronger through their trials
and closer through their celebrations.
Be a touchstone in their home
and a guiding force in their hearts,
that the love that joins and binds them
is always the love they've learned from You.
