Statement on the Gift of Marriage
The minister says:
This day we gather in the presence of God to give thanks for the gift of marriage, to witness the joining together of (HER) and (HIM), to surround them with our prayers, and to ask God’s blessing upon them, so that they may be strengthened for their life together and nurtured in their love for God and one another.
God created us, and gave us marriage so that husband and wife may help and comfort each other, living faithfully together in abundant times and in scarce times, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, for the rest of their days.
We rejoice that marriage is given by God, blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ, and sustained by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, let marriage be held in honor by all.
Know and remember “God is love, and those who abide in love, abide in God, and God abides in them.”

God is love, and those who abide in love, abide in God, and God abides in them.

Reading of Scripture
The Charge to the Bridge and Groom
The relationship of marriage was established by God in creation.
Scripture commands that marriage is sacred and is to be honored.
Because of its sacredness, marriage must not be entered into carelessly, or from selfish motive, but responsibly and with reverence.
Jesus summarized all the law and the teachings of the prophets into two commandments; which inspire all goodness: to completely love the Lord and to love thy neighbor as thyself.
No where are these two commandments more valuable than in the context of marriage.
TJ and Erin, I challenge you and encourage you to put God first in your lives, to love God with all the love that God deserves and to love one another with all the love that each of you deserve.
Please understand
For a healthy and successful marriage we need the triune God
God to bring us together and orchestrate our relationship and bring us together when we may be feel apart or are physically apart
Christ for the example of sacrificial love
And Holy Spirit to empower us to stay together despite ourselves
I will share at least 3 principals you should do for a healthy marriage
1- Constant communication with God
Prayer, study and church fellowship
Not just emergency get out of jam prayers or 2x year services
2 - To Leverage the Holy Spirit
This is what allows your flesh or humanity to take second place to your spouse and God, the agape love
To enable you to sacrifice your desires for the other and if done right by both of you, you get your desires but from the other vs just taking your desires for yourself
3 - And to Be committed to the commitment
No matter what has been said or done
No matter how your feelings have been hurt
No matter how you may feel you are misunderstood or unappreciated
Work to improve your marriage.
It works like most things in life … you usually get out what you put in.
When in trouble here, with this principle … Refer to principals 1 & 2 as your relationship instructions.
Marriage is not just pie in the sky, vacation like living.
The honeymoon ends IF you don’t work at it.
TJ & Erin
I thank you for inviting me into your pre-martial counseling process.
It was a privilege to serve you and God in this special endeavor.
As I worked with you I saw an increased effort and interest in spiritual matters, in seeking God, please nurture that and don’t neglect it Your lives are busy with work, travel, friends, and all the hustle and bustle of a young and successful couple.
However, Speaking in financial terms Putting God first will return guaranteed exponential returns in perpetuity.
Furthermore, We talked and learned about some growth areas, from our sessions, readings and the prepare enrich assessment...
By the way these are common and can be reflected in many people.
So community please be helpful and not hurtful as you have come and stood to be a help.
For us to progress and make an active change in relationship statistics we must all grow to help one another with communication, conflict resolution and spiritual beliefs… These are very important aspects for our relationships.
Areas that we can all improve in.
So TJ & Erin remember what we learned and continue to learn more and practice those techniques with the help of God and community.
Look out there, look at me you will always have someone to confide in, discuss a scripture with, vent to, cry with or just keep in touch with.
You are never alone.
Not with God or with the community that loves you.
Marriage is a process, a journey and not just an end destination.
We are all human and will miss the mark often but if we have laid the ground work, made the deposits have the word of God written in your hearts your marriage will endure the trials of humanity and the tests of time to get you through all the seasons of life… the beginning part of marriage, the next 5 years, possible children, career changes, disappointments, your spouse fulfilling dreams while your dreams may be left unsatisfied, retirement – but growing hopefully to the point that you understand and love your spouse to finish each others sentences, and still hold hands in old age,
Know You must have love in your heart to be able to give it and
True never ending love only comes from God
There even when the flesh fails the true love we have in us shines through and allows our failings to be covered and for our spouse to see us in a different why
Almost like that first time swept off of my feet love when that the person could do no wrong
But true love isn’t the type that fades once the infatuation wears off it is the kind that endures and loves thru pain, disappointment, hurt, betrayal … the love that gives strength, discernment and forgiveness
TJ & Erin please remember these things especially when you are down and maybe doubting
TJ
Remember what made you turn the car around to see Erin for that second meeting
Remember the reason you bought those advance airline tickets for courtship
Remember feeling okay to be goofy and appreciating each other moon walking and laughing together
Erin
Remember looking at TJ and thinking you could see TJ as being the one
Remember staying up all night just talking
Remember the comfort of feeling protected in the presence of TJ and how important that is to you
TJ & Erin Remember each others needs: to be more affectionate, compassionate, confident and patient with one another.
