I love everything about church weddings. It doesn\u2019t matter what denomination or whether it\u2019s held in an oversized city cathedral or a cute country chapel. (Well okay, I\u2019m partial to the latter). I love checking out the stained glass windows<\/a>, the altar, and I always, always<\/em>, get choked up when the bride starts her iconic trip down the aisle, most often to the melodic tunes of Canon in D. Pachelbel.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about tradition.<\/p>\n

Another tradition that I look forward to is the Bible readings<\/a>. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is often part of many services.\u00a0\u00a0Love is patient,\u00a0love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.\u00a0It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,\u00a0it is not easily angered,\u00a0it keeps no record of wrongs.<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Love does not delight in evil\u00a0but rejoices with the truth.\u00a0It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to see why this beautiful and thought-provoking verse is a perennial favorite of brides and grooms everywhere. After all, it provides inspiration on how to make marriage into a joyful lifelong relationship<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Of course, marriage is not always easy; the media constantly bombards us with grim divorce statistics and the reality is that even the happiest of partnerships will inevitably encounter some rough patches.<\/p>\n

What does the Bible say about marriage?<\/h3>\n

But right from the very beginning, the Bible shows us both the many benefits of marriage<\/a> and the best way to achieve this spiritual union. Many marriage bible verses appear throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance and power of love. Genesis 1:27-28 states:\u00a0 So 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, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So, whether you are getting ready to walk down the aisle, are currently struggling with your partner or have been happily hunkered down with your spouse for decades, call on the following marriage Bible verses to help you renew your love and strengthen your union<\/a>.<\/p>\n
