Day 148. What grace does God give in marriage? (2024)

Today is day 148 and we are studying The Sacrament of Marriage.

148. What grace does God give in marriage?

In Christian marriage, God unites husband and wife and blesses their common life, that they may grow together in love, wisdom, and godliness, patterned on the sacrificial love of Christ. A Christian marriage embodies this grace in the world, especially through hospitality and care for those who are lonely or in need. (Genesis 2:18–25; Psalm 128; Proverbs 18:22; Matthew 1:18–25; 1 Corinthians 13:1–13; “Holy Matrimony,” Book of Common Prayer 2019)

We will conclude today with Prayer 69 For a Marriage or Anniversary on page 667 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
