Christian poems for marriage
Finding the right words to congratulate young spouses on their marriage is not so easy. To make this task easier for you, we have selected beautiful and heartfelt Christian wishes for your wedding day in verse. Choose the appropriate words for Orthodox congratulations to the newlyweds in order to express your feelings on this wonderful day and wish the newlyweds long and happy years.
Examples of skits
Typically, Christian miniatures have an instructive, edifying character. They depict ordinary incidents from the life of a married couple and ways to solve the current situation.
Angel and inattentive husband
The husband is sitting in a chair, reading a book. His wife scurries past him, busy around the house, in a robe.
- Honey, let's talk to you?
- Have you already dealt with all your affairs?
After a while, she again turns to him with a proposal to go somewhere, to which her husband, without looking up from reading, replies with a dissatisfied look: “Why are you feeling bad at home? Did you wash all my socks?” After a while, the woman asks the question: “Do you love me?”
The husband, with poorly concealed irritation, says: “I told you that I love you when I proposed, and then at the wedding, have you forgotten, or do you think that my words are worthless?” She goes into another room, cries and prays: “Is this book really more important to him than me? He doesn't seem to love me at all anymore and is just annoyed. Lord, do something, help me.” At this time, a white angel appears near the husband and pats him on the shoulder.
The man turns around with displeasure, a grimace of displeasure on his face, but he freezes in surprise, his mouth open.
The angel takes out a Bible from the folds of his clothes, shows something to the man and begins to explain, then disappears. The husband kneels down and prays for a long time, asking God to forgive him.
My wife comes in and is about to water the houseplants.
The man picks a flower, approaches his wife and hands it to her with the words: “Dear, you are so beautiful, kind, gentle, I love you so much.”
The presenter (as if off-screen) says: “In a house where the husband does not pay attention to his wife, the balance of peace and quiet is always disturbed, thank God every day for giving you the best woman as a wife and do not forget to tell her about that how much you value her.
Then your home and heart will always be light and warm.”
Padishah and newlyweds
A man in the guise of an Arab sheikh enters the hall, wearing a long robe, a turban, a lot of “jewelry,” and “concubines” walking next to him. He turns to the bride: “I heard about a beauty who outshone all the stars of the world, whose eyes shine like precious stones, and whose heart is so kind and merciful that words cannot describe it.
Now I see her and understand that any words cannot describe her charms even a hundredth part. Be my wife, I will throw the whole world at your feet!” The bride says that she has already promised herself to someone else. Then the guest turns to the groom: “Give me your woman, I will make you rich and give you any of my wives, come with me, accept our faith, get married.
I will make you a noble nobleman."
The newlywed replies: “I have one heart, and it belongs to my God and my wife; without them I do not need honor, wealth, or glory.” Then the padishah, amazed by such fidelity, presents the newlyweds with the gifts he brought (the “chests” should be prepared in advance, for example, made from cardboard boxes) and goes home.
This scene looks great on video later.
Orthodox wedding and its features
When going to a wedding among believers, you should understand in advance how it will take place and what to expect from this event.
It is worth immediately noting that such a celebration as a religious one should be carried out according to all customs and canons. Here, the meaning is often lost and people stop only at the wedding, forgetting about the other important stages.
The concept of an Orthodox wedding includes:
- matchmaking;
- bridesmaids;
- engagement;
- bachelorette party, bachelor party;
- wedding;
- celebration.
Each of these rituals is good and original. The wedding looks especially beautiful. It is filled with special meaning and symbolism.
During the ceremony, the priest reads prayers and hands the bride and groom a candle. Then he asks to put rings on each other, with the bride having a silver one and the groom having a gold one. After reading the triple prayer, the bride and groom exchange rings as a sign of love and fidelity. As a result, the bride keeps the groom's ring, and the husband, vice versa.
Matchmaking girl
Matchmakers from the young man’s side came to the girl’s parents, but they didn’t talk about matchmaking directly. The text was prepared in advance, trying to confuse the evil spirits as much as possible so that they could not disrupt the wedding.
We saw a beautiful flower here, and we have a good garden for it. Will you allow us to transplant your flower into this garden?
At first, the matchmakers did not receive a positive answer; this was mandatory, since the guy’s relatives were obliged to persuade and convince the girl’s relatives about the need for their wedding. The entire matchmaking took place with songs, jokes and dancing.
In our modern world, such a ritual as matchmaking has already become obsolete and is practically not carried out by young people.
Poems for newlyweds at Christian weddings
Most people mistakenly believe that if the wedding is Christian, then it necessarily requires reading the Bible and religious poems. This is absolutely not true. An ordinary lyrical work written from the heart is also quite suitable. It is not at all necessary to mention God in every word. The main thing is that you deliver your speech from the bottom of your heart, then it will definitely come true.
- Please accept our congratulations, From the bottom of my heart and soul. And these are not instructions. But rather words from the heart. Stay with each other, stay strong and together. We wish you to live a hundred years. Forget grievances, worries and honestly you can live like this for a long time, here is our advice. And remember that our God and heavenly guardian is always with you, He will help you decorate, heat and build your home.
Young people, I am pleased on this day and at this hour. Congratulate everyone on your most joyful, brightest holiday. Let your family hearth burn only with a warm fire. And if this does not help you, then prayer can find peace. Love each other as purely and tenderly as you have never loved before.
- The Lord did this for a reason. You were simply created to be around. Just look at these miracles. You are like two angels, what a reward. Christ did his best here and a real family was born. And we wish you not to get confused and keep your love forever.
Celebration (festivities)
Celebrations began immediately at my husband’s parental home. The entire holiday is accompanied by songs and poems, not only for the newlyweds, but also for their parents. The songs are sung live by absolutely all the guests. At the time of presentation of gifts, poetry was often recited. In the evening, the matchmaker made the bed for the newlyweds. And the groom bought her. In the morning, guests were shown a sheet with bloody marks. Thus proving the girl’s innocence. And if it turned out that the girl was not a virgin, then she and her relatives were ridiculed, a collar was hung around their necks and the gates were covered with tar. On the second day, the festivities moved to the bride’s parental home, and on the third, back to the groom’s. During the second day, a ritual took place - “the search for the little bird.” Yarochka (the bride) was hidden in the house, and the guests were looking for her.
Christian wishes in prose
Religious speeches are always pure and sincere. They are filled with love and a special atmosphere. At weddings, you can safely pronounce such texts in prose. They will be a real gift for newlyweds.
- Today we have gathered to congratulate Ivan and Tatyana on the most important and responsible step in their lives. They decided to seal their union and unite their hearts forever before the Lord God. They say that with a sweetheart there is heaven in the hut. But it is no coincidence, this is generally accepted. It is love that can create a miracle. She does not notice any vices, shortcomings, or troubles. With the help of love, diseases can be cured and the soul can be healed. I would like to wish the young people to appreciate the feeling that they have acquired. After all, with its help you can move mountains. Love each other and treasure each other like the most precious gold.
- After the wedding comes real married life. It looks like a book. It has a lot of pages. Moreover, this book can be divided into two parts. One such part is the honeymoon. Everything about it is cloudless, romantic and airy. The second part is the prose of life. Unfortunately, the second part is much larger and thicker than the first. Your task, young people, is to make sure that in the second part of life there are many discoveries, travel, and positive moments. And by the end of your life, looking back, you would realize that you have lived a truly vibrant and exciting life.
- Three different people were once asked what marriage is. Someone answered that this is a responsibility before God. For some, marriage is a continuous honeymoon. Well, someone suggested that marriage is a monotonous existence. And each of these three people is right. In fact, marriage is always different and it depends on the people themselves. If you manage to create a strong, friendly and beloved family, then this will be the merit of you and the Lord God, who once in one beautiful moment united your hearts.
Pictures about love
In relationships between two or more people, support, attention and constant maintenance of friendly, loving, and simply faithful, trusting relationships are very important. If we want to say something to a friend, girlfriend, person we love. for example, about our feelings, to say that we miss you or just to say good night - we can use all kinds of thematic stickers, postcards or pictures. After all, images can convey much greater emotions than simple plain text!

Holy Union
God lays out his plan for marriage in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament, where Adam and Eve are united into one flesh at the inaugural wedding. The following words from Genesis 2:18, 21-24, ESV serve as a powerful addition to any vows:
“Then the Lord God said: “It is not good for this man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”… So the Lord God made the man fall asleep, and while he was Sleeping, he took one of his ribs and covered its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God took from the man whom he turned into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said: “At last this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she will be called woman, because she was taken from man.” Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
Congratulations on your wedding
Often, believing newlyweds, in addition to the official registration in the registry office, decide to get married in a church, because for them only marriage before God is true. In this case, you need Christian congratulations on your wedding day and on your wedding.
Dear young people! You have taken a huge step, a serious and responsible act - you have taken an oath of eternal love and fidelity before God. And if the stamp in the passport is easy to correct, then the marriage made in heaven is indestructible. Remember this when times get tough, but don't forget this during happy times. You were created by God for each other, and never question that. Love one another and may grace come upon your family.
Today, holy crowns were held over you, and you made vows to each other, which Jesus himself witnessed. We congratulate you on such an important event and wish your journey to be long and happy according to the will of God. So that you and your children are always healthy, and your mind is not clouded. Live correctly, do not keep anger in your soul, leave in your memory only the pleasant moments of your life. Don't forget your parents, because thanks to them you live.
20 Bible Verses About Marriage Between a Man and a Woman
20 Bible verses about marriage between a man and a woman.
1). Genesis 2:22-24: 22 And the rib which the Lord God took from the man made him a woman, and brought her to the man. 23 Adam said, “Now this is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, and she will be called woman, because she was taken out of man.” 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
2). Proverbs 5:18-19: 18 Blessed be thy fountain; and rejoice with the wife of your youth. 19 Let her be like a loving ass and a pleasant calf; may her breasts always satisfy you; and be always delighted with her love.
4). Proverbs 18:22: 22 He who finds a wife finds good things and receives mercy from the Lord.
7). Proverbs 30:18-19: 18 There are three things that are too wonderful for me, yea, four that I do not know: 19 The way of the eagle is in the air; the path of the serpent on the rock; the path of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the path of a man with a maid. 8). Proverbs 31:10: 10 Who can find a virtuous woman? because its price is much higher than rubies.
9). Ephesians 5:22-33: 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church, and he is the savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, let the wives be their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it; 26 that he may sanctify and cleanse it by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he may present it to the glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but it must be holy and without blemish. 28 So men should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 No one has ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and values him, as the Lord does the Church, 30 because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery, but I'm talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, let each of you love his wife as himself; and the wife sees that she honors her husband.
10). Deuteronomy 24:5:5 When a man has taken a new wife, he will not go to war and will not be charged with anything, but he must be free at home for one year and raise the spirits of the wife he has taken.
eleven). Matthew 19:4-6: 4 And he answered and said to them, “Have you not read that he who created them at the beginning made them male and female 5 and said, “For this purpose a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife: and they both will they be one flesh? 6 Therefore they are no longer doubles, but one flesh. What God has united, let not separate man.
12). 1Corinthians 7:1-16: 1 Now about what you wrote to me: it is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband show kindness to his wife, and the wife also to her husband. 4 A wife does not have the strength of her body, but the husband, and likewise the husband does not have the strength of his body, but the wife. 5 Do not deceive yourselves, except for a season, that you may fast and pray; and gather yourself together again, so that Satan does not tempt you for incontinence. 6 But I say this by permission, and not by commandment. 7 For I would that all men were like myself. But every man has his proper gift of God, one after this, and another after that. 8 Therefore I say to the unmarried and to the widows, It is good for them if they live as I live. 9 But if they cannot restrain themselves, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to be burned. 10 And to the married man I command, not I, but the Lord: do not leave your wife from your husband; 11 But if she does, leave her unmarried or make peace with your husband, and let the husband not put his wife away. 12 But to the rest I say, and not the Lord: if a brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is pleased to live with him, let him not let her go. 13 and a wife who has an unbelieving husband, and if it pleases him to live with her, do not leave him. 14 For an unbelieving husband is sanctified by his wife, and an unbelieving wife is sanctified by her husband, otherwise your children were unclean; but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever goes away, let him go away. The brother or sister in such cases is not in bondage, but God has called us to peace. 16 Why will you, O wife, save your husband? or how do you know, man, will you save your wife?
13). Colossians 3:18-19: 18 Wives, present yourself to your husbands in a manner suitable to the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be against them.
14). Hebrews 13:4-7: 4 Marriage is noble in every way, and the bed is undefiled, but he who judges and commits adultery will condemn. 5 Let your conversation be without greed; and be content with such things as you have; for as he has said, I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 so that we can boldly say: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me. 7 Remember those who rule over you, who spoke the word of God to you: whose faith follows, considering the end of their conversation.
15). Mark 10:6-9:6 But from the very beginning of creation, God made them male and female. 7 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife; 8 And they will be doubles of one flesh, and then they will no longer be two fleshes, but one flesh. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.
16). Song of Songs 4:7:7 You are beautiful, my love; there is no place in you.
17). Genesis 2:18: 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I'll get him to help meet him.
18). 1 Corinthians 7:2: 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
19). Proverbs 16:9: 9 A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

Two become one
In Matthew 19:4-6, NLT, Jesus Christ quotes the Old Testament Scriptures from Genesis to emphasize God's desire for married couples to understand their unique union. When Christians are married, they should no longer think of themselves as two separate people, but as one whole, because God has joined them as one:
“Have you not read the Scripture?” Jesus responded, “They record that from the beginning “God created them male and female.” And he said, “This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and joins his wife, and they become one. 'Since they are no longer two, but one, let no one divide what God has joined together.'
