Personal Caring

Marriage

A three-strand cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:12

Built to last with God at the centre

Marriage is a covenant, not only a ceremony. Scripture paints a simple picture: two people walking together are stronger than one, and with God as the third strand, the bond holds when life pulls hard.

“A three-strand cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

At River of Life, we want couples to begin and grow marriage with Christ, community, and clear pastoral care. Whether you are preparing for a wedding, seeking guidance for your betrothal, or needing support in your marriage today, we are here to walk with you.

How we support couples

Practical care rooted in Scripture, from preparation through the years that follow.

Prepare

Pre-marital counselling and pastoral conversations help you build foundations of faith, communication, and shared commitment before the wedding day.

Celebrate

We are honoured to support church weddings and ceremonies. Reach out early so we can walk with you through dates, preparation, and pastoral arrangements.

Grow

Marriage continues after the altar. Through fellowship, prayer, and counselling when needed, we want your home to grow stronger in Christ.

A prayer for your marriage

You can pray this together, or make the words your own.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the gift of marriage. Be the third strand in our covenant. Teach us to love one another as Christ loves the church, to forgive quickly, to speak with kindness, and to seek You first in every season. Strengthen what is weak, heal what is hurting, and help our home honour You.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
