O God, my God! Bless Thou the two parties to this marriage,
this Thy servant and this Thy handmaiden, both of whom believe in Thy oneness,
testify to Thy unity, and are attracted to Thy Kingdom. Ordain for them every
good and make their marriage to be a cause of loftiness, honour, perfection,
light, and mercy for evermore. Verily, Thou art the All-Bountiful, the
Compassionate, and Thou art He Who is loving and kind to His handmaidens and
servants. - ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (From a Tablet; compilation: ‘To Set the World in
Order: Building and Preserving Strong Marriages', prepared by the Research
Department of the Universal House of Justice, August 2023)
