ONE FLESH COVENANT


WIFE,
This day I have
Chosen you as my
Companion in life.
Looking down the
Straits of time,
I have seen you
There with me.
I have seen love
And comfort as our
Traveling companions.
I have seen past
The dew of youth
To the changing seasons
Of our lives,
And I am satisfied.
This day I promise
That I will long
Be satisfied with
Your unfading smile,
The touch of your hand,
And the gift of your
Presence to me.


HUSBAND,
This day I have
Chosen you as my
Companion in life.
I, too, have looked
Down the straits of time,
And I have seen you
There with me.
I have seen you as a
Solid rock, always.
I have seen past
The dew of youth
To the changing
Seasons of our lives,
And I am satisfied.
This day, I promise
That I will long
Be satisfied with
Your unfailing courage,
The touch of your
Hand upon mine,
And the gift of your
Committment to me.


"AND THEY SHALL BE
ONE FLESH" GENESIS 2:24
