1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NLT)
Love is patient,
Love is kind.
It does not envy,
It does not boast,
It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
Always trusts,
Always hopes,
Always perseveres.
These verses from 1 Corinthians hold within them the key to a successful and happy marriage. If all couples put these words into action by treating each other this way then the marriage would be one that will last forever!
Poet: Julie Hebert
May this day be filled with love,
And the only tears shed be of happiness.
May your dreams have come true,
And your life together be fabulous.
Life from now on will not be about you,
It'll be of two souls becoming one.
Together you will discover greatness,
And together you will have laughter and fun.
Together you will be always,
Facing good times and the bad.
Every great marriage grows stronger,
Because each other you have.
So make every moment together,
Count in every possible way.
Your love will last forever
May God bless this your day.

How To Write Marriage Vows
Poet: Julie Hebert
May you never lose yourself,
May you grow in love and life,
May you learn from your mistakes,
All the while enjoying being man and wife.
May this adventure you are on,
Keep your spark alive.
May you find what you need from each other,
And may you never be deprived.
May you see each others needs,
Before the need is met.
May your marriage stay true and strong,
And may there never be a threat.
May the light set in the mornings,
Awake you side by side.
May the sun set in the evenings,
Cuddled up with love and pride.
by St. Augustine
If God had designed woman as man's master.
He would have taken her from his head;
If as his slave,
He would have taken her from his feet;
But as He designed her for his companion and equal,
He took her from his side.
These words from St. Augustine may make you smile but there is much wisdom in them. In marriage being equal partners in all aspects of the marriage results in a happy home!
Poet: Julie Hebert
Your engagement set the tone,
For this love to continue to bloom.
After the nuptials when you can calm,
Connected lives will then presume.
Not sure what that will entail,
It's up to you how life will prevail.
But I know that life will be great,
Together you will not fail.
Find each others strengths,
And use them however you can.
You are stronger when working together,
And that was always God's plan.
People say marriage is hard,
And in some cases that is true.
But it doesn't have to be,
It will all depend on you.
Go into this with a plan,
To not ever take each other for granted.
Many go into a marriage,
Expecting a life that is enchanted.

Christian Wedding Poems
Poet: Unknown
In the grasp of the one holding your hand,
Whose eyes ignite your hopes and dreams,
In thoughts of the one, foremost and last,
Who embraces you with love that gleams,
Together planning dreams that align,
Making the world feel perfectly designed,
Believing in each other with trust,
In this unique love, your lifetime's thrust.
