Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
The Bible
1 Corinthians 13. 4-8

Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God
my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so
severely, if anything but death separates you and me.
The Bible
Ruth 1. 16-17

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its
jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his
house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
The Bible
Song of Solomon
How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and
the fragrance of your perfume than any spice.

Song of Solomon

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him
up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly
broken.
The Bible
Ecclesiastes 4

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

And let winds of the heavens dance between you.

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet

All other things, to their destruction draw,

Only our love hath no decay;
This, no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday,

Where I may not remove nor be removed.

The best is yet to be.
Robert Browning

Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth. It is the union of two souls
in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness. It is that higher unity which fuses the separate
unities within the two spirits. It is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance, and whose
ending is Eternity. It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields
of divine Nature.
Kahlil Gibran
Words of the Master

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet

Come live with me, and be my love,

And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
The Bait

A thing of beauty is a joy forever:

Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams.
John Keats
Endymion

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other.
Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other.
Now there is no more loneliness, for each of you will be companion for the other.
Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. 
Go now to your dwelling place to begin the days of your life together.
May your days together be good and long upon the earth.
Apache Blessing

What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life - to
strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all
pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?
George Eliot
Adam Bede

When two people are one

in their inmost hearts,
They shatter even the strength of iron or of bronze.
And when two people understand each other 
in their inmost hearts,
Their words are sweet and strong,
like the fragrance of orchids.
I Ching
When Two People Are at One

You and I
Have so much love,
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
You are in my clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share a single coffin.
Kuan Tao-Sheng
Married Love

I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out.
Roy Croft
Love

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet

Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife
or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and
happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
Mother Teresa

What is a vow,
but an intention
spoken out before the world
so that the world, in hearing,
might take part
in aspirations
of the willing heart?
In our coming here today
to join and bless
the joy of your becoming wed,
may we enter in
the truth of the words you've said,
"I do."
