Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone? If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.
A prayer
Original writing, not a quotation of Scripture.
Lord, another year together. We've come through good seasons and hard ones, some arguments we'd rather forget, and more ordinary kindness than anyone saw. Thank you for holding us together when our own strength wasn't enough.
Thank you for the person beside me. Renew our love for the years ahead, keep us patient and playful, and let our marriage keep pointing to your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
