Beatitudes for Married Couples
(Reflection - June 1999)
Blessed are the husband and wife who continue to be affectionate, considerate, and loving through all the days of their life together.
Blessed are the husband and wife who are as polite and courteous to one another as they are to their friends.
Blessed are the husband and wife who have a sense of humor, for this will be a handy shock absorber.
Blessed are they who love each other more than any other person in the world, and who joyfully fulfill their marriage vow of a lifetime of fidelity as husband and wife.
Blessed are they who thank God for their blessings, and who set aside some time each day for the reading of the Bible and prayer.
Blessed are they who never speak harshly to each other and who make their home a place of mutual encouragement and love.
Blessed are the husband and wife who dedicate their lives and their home to the advancement of Christ and his kingdom.
