The Story Behind May Our Marriage:
May Our Marriage was written as a prayer of gratitude for the gift of marriage and a desire to honor God within it. It originated as a poem I wrote years ago and decided to convert it into a song. This song reflects biblical themes of servant-hearted love, gentleness in conflict, covenant faithfulness, and unity in Christ, pointing to marriage as a living testimony of God’s love to the world, just as the apostle Paul equated marriage relationship to the relationship between Jesus and His Church/Bride.
