It\u00a0does not insist on its own way; it\u00a0is not irritable or resentful;<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>it\u00a0does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but\u00a0rejoices with the truth.<\/span>\u00a07\u00a0<\/sup>Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,\u00a0endures all things.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/sup>Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0we know in part and we prophesy in part,<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>but\u00a0when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.<\/span>\u00a011\u00a0<\/sup>When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0now we see in a mirror dimly, but\u00a0then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as\u00a0I have been fully known.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n I lift up my eyes to the mountains\u2014<\/em> He will not let your foot slip\u2014<\/em> The Lord watches over you\u2014<\/em> The Lord will keep you from all harm\u2014<\/em> \u201cSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’ “<\/em><\/p>\n\n \u201cBut you say, ‘Why does he not?’ Because the LORD was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a covert from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field. The effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever. My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSet me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n \u201cAnd over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n \u201cTwo are better than one because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two <\/em>lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n But Ruth replied, \u201cDon\u2019t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.\u00a0Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so <\/em>severely, if even death separates you and me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n The voice of my beloved!<\/em> \u201cIt is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAnd one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cYour spouses are a garment for you as you are for them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n “If you are in love the love should be eternal”<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTrust your love and the whom you love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n “<\/em>When you fall in love then your heart should fill with happiness, that does not come unless you surrender yourself completely”<\/em><\/p>\n\n “Embrace me completely<\/em> May you be the one loving me only, not another<\/em> With my mind I attract you<\/em> Straight be the paths and thornless on which our friends will travel to present our suit! May Aryaman and Bhaga lead us together! May heaven grant us a stable marriage!<\/em><\/p>\n\n I am He, you are She, I am Song, you are Verse, I am Heaven, you are Earth. We two shall here together dwell, becoming parents of children.<\/p>\n\n … a husband and wife are one soul, separated only through their descent to this world. When they are married, they are reunited again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Great is peace, that we find the Holy One, blessed be He will waive the holiness of His name\u2014that it be written in holiness and then erased in water\u2014in order to bring peace between husband and wife.<\/em><\/p>\n\n It is incumbent upon you and your wife to each do what is dependent on them to bring their hearts together and strengthen peace in the home. And if they truly desire this, then surely they will succeed!<\/em><\/p>\n\n “Any man who has no wife lives without the joy, without blessing, and without goodness”<\/p>\n\n A man who does not marry is not a complete person<\/p>\n Husband & wife, both of them having conviction, being responsive, being restrained, living by the Dhamma, addressing each other with loving words: they benefit in manifold ways. To them comes bliss. Their enemies are dejected when both are in tune in virtue. Having followed the Dhamma here in this world, both in tune in precepts & practices, they delight in the world of the devas, enjoying the pleasures they desire.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Do not deceive, do not despise each other anywhere. Do not be angry nor bear secret resentments; for as a mother will risk her life and watches over her child, so boundless be your love to all, so tender, kind and mild.<\/em><\/p>\n Cherish good will right and left, early and late, and without hindrance, without stint, be free of hate and envy, while standing and walking and sitting down, what ever you have in mind, the rule of life that is always best is to be loving-kind.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Today we promise to dedicate ourselves completely to each other, with body, speech, and mind. In this life, in every situation, in wealth or poverty, in health or sickness, in happiness or difficulty, we will work to help each other perfectly. The purpose of our relationship will be to attain enlightenment by perfecting our kindness and compassion toward all sentient beings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n Let us vow to bear witness to the wholeness of life,<\/em> Health is the highest profit, Contentment the highest of riches. The trustworthy are the highest of kinsmen, Nibbana the highest happiness.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n If none of these interest you, be sure to take a look at these incredibly romantic wedding readings<\/a>\u00a0for your ceremony, or these\u00a0<\/a>sweet wedding reading ideas for modern couples.<\/p>\n![\"Bridesmaids](\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Religious-ceremony-readings-Christian-Christopher-Millen-Photography.jpeg\" "\\"\\"")
