WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF

GETTING MARRIED ACCORDING

TO CHRISTIANITY?

A RELATIONSHIP OF LIFE-LONG LOVE

A COUPLE SHOULD HAVE FAITHFULNESS

WITHIN A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE.

Of Faithful Marriage

Jesus said: "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:11).

Jesus spoke these words to a woman taken in adultery, caught in the act of sin. When the leaders of the people confronted Jesus with her they sought to tempt Jesus. For the law said that such a person ought to be stoned to death.

Jesus turned the tables on them and said to them, "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her." (John 8:37)

CHRISTIAN WEDDING SERVICE?

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love,

I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I may boast but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering, love is kind, it is not jealous, love does not boast, it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous, it is not selfish, it is not irritable, it does not enumerate the evil.

It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

Lord's Prayer / Our Father

Protestant Version

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be they name; Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Bless this marriage, O God, as __________ and __________ continue their journey down the road of life together. We don't know what lies ahead for the road turns and bends. But help them to make the best of whatever comes their way.

Help them to realize that if they will hold onto each other, they will know that things have a way of working out for the good.

Help them to create for their children a peaceful, stable home of love as a foundation on which they can build their lives.

But most of all, dear God, help them to keep lit the torch of love' that they now share in their hearts so that by their loving example they may pass on the light of love to their children and to their children's children forever. Amen
