Marriage Joins Two People
in the Circle of Its Love
Marriage is a commitment to life -
to the best that two people can find
and bring out in each other.
It offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other human relationship can equal,
a joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love,
marriage encompasses all of life's most important relationships.
A wife and a husband are each other's best friend,
confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic.
There may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing,
and the love of the other
may resemble the tender caring of a parent for a child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller; memories are fresher; commitment is stronger;
even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid.
It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences,
and new ways of expressing love through the seasons of life.
When two people pledge to love and care for each other in marriage
they create a spirit unique to themselves,
which binds them closer than any spoken or written words.
Marriage is a promise, a potential,
made in the hearts of two people who love,
which takes a lifetime to fulfill.
- Edmund O'Neill

To Joyce and Stephen
From Bridget
being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the other person when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength
Love is
being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality
Love is
an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is the source of unity
Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success
Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future
Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow
Love is the source of passion
Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing
Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security
Love is the
source of life
--Susan Polis Schutz
It is your wedding anniversary ...
A time to celebrate and to recall
The many milestones of your lives, and all
That forms and fills your common memory.
But more than milestones are the everyday
Occurrences that must be held most dear...
The easy smile, the sympathetic ear,
The countless little things you do and say.
For what is marriage, if it is not this...
A love letter, composed of joy and tears,
That's written on the heart through the years,
Signed "Ever Yours" and sealed with a kiss.
If skeptics claim that love cannot be true,
It is because they have never known you.
Happiness and Joy on your anniversary
May you live to celebrate many more.
Someone, somewhere is peacefully watching
two seeds haphazardly tossed by a strong wind,
Lightingly landing side by side
on soft fertile soil,
growing separate together
in a vast, expanding landscape under the same sun,
under the same moon
clinging to their own roots....
deep, hard, determined,
still side by side,
intertwining, growing closer,
sharing the same air,
the same wind,
the same rain....
Learning to understand,
to comfort, to give, to receive, to love.
