Thought this was worth sharing. Hope you like it.


FRIEND: Great... that's just terrific for you, girl! Wow... however did you do it?
GIRL: My Aunt Anna has been a big help to me. She's taken the time to talk to me and give me some good ideas.
FRIEND: Like what?
GIRL: Well, she's always telling me to say short little prayers whenever I need some advice. She thinks God will inspire anyone who asks it of Him or maybe He sends an idea from some another source.
FRIEND: Really... can you give me an example?
GIRL: Well, my parents just had their Wedding Anniversary and someone gave them a card that I thought was real special... here it is... it says, "Marriage takes three to be complete; it's not enough for two to meet. They must be united in love by love's Creator, God above. A marriage that follows God's Plan takes more than a woman and a man. It needs a oneness that can be only from Christ. Marriage takes three."
FRIEND: I think I like that. It makes you stop and think.
GIRL: It's by Beth Stuckwisch. She must be a very special lady. Anyway, it's a good idea to think of marriage as a relationship that includes God from the very start to all eternity.
FRIEND: Like I said... it makes you stop and think.
GIRL: I want to keep God in every part of my life including my date life and my future marriage life. So for now, my mission is to try to pray my way into a good future husband and marriage. Until then, you and I will be hopefully exploring the ways of guys together.
FRIEND: You're so funny! Okay girl... let the adventures begin!
GIRL: Holy Adventures!
FRIEND: Right!! Holy and handsome too I hope! (they laugh)

Marriage takes three

by : Beth Stuckwisch

Marriage takes three to be complete :
It's not enough two to meet
They must be united in love
By love's Creator, God Above

Then their love will be firm and strong :
Able to last when things go wrong
Because the they're felt God's love and know
He's always there. He'll never go

And they have both loved Him in kind
With all the heart and soul and mind :
And in that love they've found the way
To love each other every day.

A marriage that follows God's plan
Takes more than woman and man,
It needs o oneness that can be
Only from Christ-marriage takes three.
