Marriage Takes Three
I once thought
marriage took
Just two to make a go.
But now I am convinced
It takes the Lord also.
And not one marriage fails
Where Christ is asked to enter.
As lovers come together
With Jesus at the center.
In homes where Christ is first
It's obvious to see,
Those unions really work,
For marriage still takes three.

O
Lord,
we thank You for this wonderful gift of our love
which You have generously granted us and which allows us to build
a true communion of persons between us---
provided we remain ever open to You, the source of all love.
Help us to continue to love each other
and accept each other as we are, unconditionally,
as we get to know each other better.
Make us generous in giving and humble in receiving.
Enable us to communicate to one another all our joys, sufferings,
desires, and all our hopes, sorrows, and difficulties.
Give us the power of your love
that we may forget self and live for each other
so that we may have truly one spirit,
in preparation for the time when you will send us children
to add to our union and love. Amen.
