Apache Blessing

Now you will feel no rain, For each of you will be shelter to the other.

Now you will feel no cold, For each of you will be warmth to the other.

Now there is no more loneliness,

For each of you will be companion to the other.

Now you are two bodies, But there is one life before you.

Go now to your dwelling place, To enter into the days of your togetherness.

And may your days be good and long upon the earth.

1st Corinthians 13 

“Love is patient and kind;

love is not jealous or boastful;

It is not arrogant or rude.

Love does not insist on its own way;

It is not easy angered and keeps not record of wrong.

It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never ends.”

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you;

May you see your children's children.”

May you be poor in misfortune, Rich in blessings,

May you know nothing but happiness, From this day forward.

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back.

May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home, And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.

Treat With Respect  

Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. 

Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness and kindness that your connection deserves.

When frustration, difficult and fear assail your relationship.

As they threaten all relationships at one time or another.

Remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong.

In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives. 

Remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there.

And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.
