Bible verses for a wedding
Whether you are choosing a reading, writing vows or signing a card, these passages describe the love, patience and faithfulness God designed marriage to hold.
Genesis 2:24
“Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one keep warm alone? If a man prevails against one who is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Colossians 3:14
“Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.”
Song of Solomon 8:6-7
“Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of the LORD. Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.”
Ruth 1:16-17
“Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for 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 do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.””
Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her,”
Proverbs 18:22
“Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.”
