(Ephesians 4:2-3) God of unity, it is a beautiful gift to have a best friend by your side for life. Thank You for the union of marriage. Marriage is a wonderful example of humble, gentle, and patient love to all those who love You. Thank You for bringing ___ and ___ together to enrich their lives. They have shown those around them the value of communication in keeping peace and unity in a relationship. I pray as they grow old together, they will grow even more in sync with each other and with You. May they always contend for peace in their relationship and household. When people enter ___ and ___’s home, let rest, peace, and love be the aroma. As they depart, may they leave with a longing for the same unity and peace in their lives. Thank You for the unity of this bride and groom being a testament to Your presence residing in them. Amen.
