They must be united in love by love's Creator, God above. Then their love will be firm and strong, able to last when things go wrong, because they've felt God's love and know He's always there and will never go. And they have both loved Him in kind with all their heart and soul and mind, and in that love they found a way to love each other every day. A marriage that follows God's plan takes more than just a woman and man. It needs a oneness that can only be from Christ.
Marriage takes three.
From this day forward, you are a whole person, complete within yourself, bright and strong, just like you've always longed to be. It seems the years have been far too few since I first nestled your infant form and rocked away your tears. I taught you how to tie your shoes, to read and say your prayers. Though I was never the perfect parent, nor you the perfect child, we always loved each other, even when that love was tough or hard to understand. And I shall love you still, with a love that is so boundless, I would die for you.
