[SIZE=18pt]O Merciful God, we beseech Thee ever to remind them that the married state is holy, and that we must keep it so; Grant them Thy grace, that they may continue in faithfulness and love; Increase in them the spirit of mutual understanding and trust, that no quarrel or strife may come between them; Grant them Thy blessings, that they may stand before their fellows and in Thy sight as an ideal family; And finally, by Thy mercy, account them worthy of everlasting life: For Thou art our sanctification, and to Thee we ascribe glory, to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.[/SIZE]
