Toasting a Union
This one goes out to my buddy Shad. I consider myself extremely blessed to get to be part of he and Meghann's special day tomorrow. And, since I didn't get to be at the rehearsal dinner tonight to make my toast, I'll make it now.
Here's the joining of two; let no man ever separate what God has combined into a singular, blessed union.
To the man, we charge you to be a worthy husband. Delegate your time, energy, money, and resources to the greatest benefit of your wife. She is now your responsibility as an extension of yourself. Provide for her in the ways that God has shown you. Let your attitude reflect a Godly love; one that is patient, kind, humble, and full of grace.
To the woman, we charge you to be a worthy wife. Delegate your care, fervor, and emotion to the greatest benefit of your husband. He is now your pride, as you two have become intertwined souls. Never let anyone lessen your part in this relationship; you are a pillar upon which this marriage can stand or crumble. Let your demeanor also reflect a Godly love; one that is gentle enough to comfort, but strong enough to admonish.
To the couple, we charge you to respect this union that God has created today. You are to uphold it as nothing less than a reflection of the unity that the church, as Christ's bride, enjoys with our Savior. Above all else, even each other, love the Lord our God. In doing this, you cannot help but love each other. We all cherish you, and celebrate the life you have begun.
Blessings!!
