O powerful and eternal God
We give thanks and bless your holy name.

It is in your image that you created man and women
It is by your covenant that you blessed the sacred union of marriage
Hear our prayer this day.

That you may bring blessings to this sacred union
That you protect this marriage
That you help strengthen the bonds of trust between us
That you continue to bestow your compassion.

Grant us your grace and wisdom
That we might rise above those things that separate us
That we forgive one another when we fail
That we support one another in our continued growth

We ask this in your name
Amen
