Eternal Marriage

Hands clasped upon the altar’s lace
reflect the love within each face
that joins through time, in unity,
two souls for all eternity.
Today, anointed king and queen
of future realms and worlds unseen;
together, you begin to see
the promise of your destiny.

“Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have.”
—Gordon B. Hinckley
“Grow old along with me; the best is yet to be.”
—Robert Browning
