MY WISHES FOR LUKE AND COURT!!!!!



A successful marriage requires falling in love many times.

Are we not like two volumes of one book?

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be. -- Robert Browning

Happy and thrice happy are those who enjoy an uninterrupted union, and whose love, unbroken by any sour complaints, shall not dissolve until the last day of their existence.-- Horace

I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance, A church filled with family and friends. I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for, He said one that would make me his wife.-- Author Unknown
In marriage, everyday you love, and everyday you forgive. It is an ongoing sacrament, love and forgiveness.

Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity--everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul.-- Thomas Moore

Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts.-- William Shakespeare.

Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.-- Barnett Brickner

The sum which two married people owe to one another defies calculation. It is an infinite debt, which can only be discharged through all eternity.-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.-- Martin Luther

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.-- Homer

Two souls with but a single thought,Two hearts that beat as one.-- Friedrich Halm

Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.-- Robert Frost

Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same.-- Emily Bronte

Merrily, I love the picture! they act like they are in love? Wow!! what can I say about the 2 love birds.. Ha Ha we are totally putting them into God's hands.. And I am sure he will do an awesome job, as he has already started his handy work since they were brought into this world. And now he will complete what he has already started. What an Awesome God that we serve.Looking forward to alot of exciting and fun times,
and most of all creating memories.
Love,Joy

So sweet, Merrily! YOu know as I was reading that post, I thought about marriage. It is something that must not be taken lightly. The future happiness and the very life of another person is being entrusted to you. What a great responsibility is taken on when we say I do to all of the things in the vows. no wonder such hurt and bitterness can occur when those vows are broken!!
All the best to Luke and Courtney. May God's hand and His blessing be upon them!!

MERBEAR said...

Wow, so very well put Joy. I could not have expressed it any better. Yes, started his work in them as single children; now continuing his work in them within the union of marriage.
I am so emotional, happy, excited, anticipating great things for Touque and Tourt.

My love to you and Courtney and Whitney;
Mer

MERBEAR said...

Thank you Tina, I too pray Gods hand and his blessings upon them. God bless you my dear friend!

Yes marriage is not to be taken lightly. As some have done: if you change your mind, don't dig the person any longer you just move on. Pain, hurt, bitterness and brokeness are just some of the feelings that linger and haunt.
When you are in his will and have a made up mind to see this commitment through; you are right," the future happiness and the very life of another person is being entrusted to you.
Yes, What a great responsibility.
Your thoughts mean so much to me Tina.
