Wedding Homilies

by Tim Isbell

Here are four of my favorite wedding exhortations. These are short Christian teachings that I build into wedding ceremonies, and also offer to couples as counseling resources. 

• John 15.16-17 (from Choosing Each Other)

• 1 Corinthians 13.4-7, 13 and Ruth 1.16-17 (from Christian Love)

• John 15.4-12 from Lifesigns (based on a book by Henri Nouwen)

• Romans 12.9-13 or 19, 1 Cor 13.4-7, 13 (from Understanding Marriage Vows)
