A husband and wife standing next to each other looking out towards the sun over a large body of water with sunlight shining through the clouds. They are holding hands with their clasped hands raised up over their heads, centered in the sunlight. Overlaying the image are the words "May Our Marriage".

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.
